But kids are really, really good at hiding things. Stuff happens in the restroom, on the playground, at lunch, that is just completely under the radar of even the best of teachers. <br /><br />I was bullied for being fat (or possibly for being weird.) The teachers never saw it because it was psychological, not physical. I never talked about it because the one time my parents called the school (after a particularly vicious 'anonymous' note) nothing changed. <br /><br />You're right that teachers and other adults need to be on the lookout for the kids who get bullied. But they also need to look out for the bullies, because you don't bully unless there's something wrong.Jennifer Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04999871200590569742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005388052792414355.post-47234241788637217172010-09-30T19:00:55.138-07:002010-09-30T19:00:55.138-07:00You should also check out this new project from th...You should also check out <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/news/splc-s-new-anti-bullying-film-and-teaching-kit-now-available-to-educators-for-onli" rel="nofollow">this new project from the Southern Poverty Law Center</a>. <br /><br />"In response to mounting reports of vicious anti-gay bullying and student suicides, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Teaching Tolerance project is making a new documentary film and educational kit available – free of charge – to every school in the country."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005388052792414355.post-49198198187388383502010-09-30T11:30:00.026-07:002010-09-30T11:30:00.026-07:00Thank you for this...Thank you for this...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005388052792414355.post-68090830687882557182010-09-30T09:41:02.350-07:002010-09-30T09:41:02.350-07:00Thanks for this, Chris.
