Bullycide in America

[Dana]

Society reacts in outrage when kids commit suicide due to bullying yet doesn't do anything about it. People revert back to the whole "kids need to just stand up for themselves".

If we want to see change, everyone has to get involved in the issue and take action before suicide happens.

People can't predict when suicide will happen. The answer is to teach children to not back down & get walked on.

People make up words all the time dickwad, assmunch, dillhole... Aren't words in the technical sense but they're used. wikipedia isn't the written word.

Dana just Google and you will see many sites about Bullycide. Read some of them, educate yourself then post.

I get the gist of suicide I don't need to "educate" myself.

It's not suicide it's Bullycide that we're talking about. Suicide is the outcome of a lot of Bullycides.

I think it is being blown way out of proportion.

*bangs head off desk* Bullycide, Suicide... It's the same fucking thing people killing themselves because they can't deal with the shit they're being dealt with.

Would that be " again " or " still " ?

 

[All Else Failed]

Both. Bullying has existed forever. Its only the latest trend the media has grabbed onto.

It's not the same thing. Read about Bullycide. Suicide is the reaction to the action of Bullycide. You seem to take this so lightly when it's a very serious matter in America. Kids and teens are dying over bullycide. Something needs to be done!

If parents and do not teach their children to stand up for themselves it'll keep happening.

Dana how is 1 kid supposed to stand up to a group of bullies?

 

[Alien Allen]

Some people deal with being bullied differently than others

I think Guyzer has dealt with it

I have dealt with it.

I bet we both still have issues as a fall out for what we went thru.

But despite that I never even came close to offing myself and believe me there were times I could have thought that way.

I agree. Start locking up some of the parents and things would change real fast.

i'm afraid i don't understand what the importance is of such a protracted argument about the semantics.

so bullycide is a particular form of suicide where a bully pushed the victim over the edge. move on to maybe proposing solutions, post some anecdotal stuff, i don't no, but these last few posts make me want to go look for a dead horse.

Do you realize that many girls are victims of Bullycide. I have a friend here in Dallas who is going through a court battle because her daughter was severely bullied and she has joined all of the causes for Bullycide in America trying to get laws passed against Bullycide.

I agree. Start locking up some of the parents and things would change real fast.

Are you being serious?
