My school would claim I was never bullied, too, and it would be a lie.
Exactly. Especially if the administration was bully-friendly, which they often are. My daughter was so bullied at her middle school that we ended up having to take her out and put her in online school because the administration didn't give a shit. The one time we went so apoplectic that they were forced to act, they made the bullies apologize to her and her apologize to the bullies. Which, of course, made things worse.
One of my daughter's best friends is still in that school and he is trans. Some girl was harassing him and being incredibly bigoted to him and he finally turned around and slapped her for it. Guess which one of them got suspended and which one wasn't even finger-wagged at? Hint: it wasn't the girl that got suspended.
Ok, I'm curious. I get that the suspension was wrong and all......but did the girl ever bother him again? I will stand by my belief that the way you stop a bully, is to punch a bully in the mouth. Bullys bully because they feel they can get away with bullying without consequence. Present them an immediate cause and effect consequence, and they stop.
I don't see how schools don't realize this.
I don't have the answer to that, but daughter never told me and she's doing some video chat thing with friends right now, so I don't want to bug her about it. I hope that stopped it for good from at least that girl.
I think they just denied the fact that he was on the rifle team, because they didn't want it on record that their team would have missed.
Or, ya know.....because they were responsible in training a would-be political assasin. And that probably comes with legal responsibilities. Such as "Why are we putting guns into teenagers hands, and teaching them how to kill?"
