Give them everything that s necessary to see to their happiness to the best of our ability. The bully needs to be taught that it s not okay to hurt another child, and the bullied child needs to be taught that what one person says about them does not make it truth and that it s not okay that they are being hurt like this. Let's not forget that children grow up. These bullies can only get away with their mistreatment of others for so long before it catches up with them. For the most part, adults don t take abuse for long, if any at all.
Most adults stand up for themselves.
If we are, then we ve got trouble on our hands. If an adult said or did what some of these children are saying and doing to each other to another adult, in some cases it would be viewed as harassment. I was watching the local news recently. He was one of the bullied and he had decided to speak up on how it affected him. I remember thinking how scared and nervous he looked sitting there while attempting to explain to the world as intelligibly as possible what was happening to him at school and why he considered it wrong.
