Mysis said:You know, making a thread with the words "trouble with campus police" in the title, on a username with your own picture as the avatar... Is probably a pretty stupid idea to start with.
eris said:yeah, college cops are differernt. The Pitt cops at my school were REALLY all over stuff like this.
VanillaCreme said:It's harassment. Schools should be even harder than they are now on harassment. Maybe **** like this wouldn't even happen if people knew they'd get their ***** handed to them if they did.

I think the impact of harrassment is just being taken more seriously these days - and for good reason. Kids are really honestly killing themselves over stuff like this. Im sure it happened years ago, too, but it is a major news issue these days.

One of the major recent stories that sticks out in my mind is that Irish lass, Phoebe Prince, that got bullied into hanging herself.
Eh? If the school was doing the investigation, they were using their own defense to protect their own interests. That school was undergoing a hell storm after it happened - many of the school officials and faced the possibility of being fired for not doing anything when Phoebe came forward before she killed herself.SophiaGrace said:shells said:eris said:I think the impact of harrassment is just being taken more seriously these days - and for good reason.

Actually when the school dug deeper they found out that Phoebe had tried to kill herself before. She was a troubled kid.

No kidding. That situation was a poorly-handled cluster-**** all the way around. The school staff, from teachers to administrators, totally dropped the ball... and so did the parents, I think.
It makes me so sad. I worry about my daughters as they get closer to the teenage years. I hope that they are not bullied and I hope that I am instilling the proper sense of decency and values into them so that THEY are not the ones to pick on those who are the perceived weaker ones.
The idea that bullying is just "kids being kids," whether it comes from school staff or parents has got to be eradicated and dealt with as a real offense.
