Let me start by saying I don't condone what is currently classified as a hate crime or cyber bullying. I guess what I have to ask is is murder, theft, or assault any worse because of how you classify it. I mean really is it better if two straight white guys fight or two gay dudes? We are focusing on the wrong problems trying to label these things. We are also acting like teen suicide is something new this past week because there have been" a rash of gay teen suicides." Look up some statistics on suicide, according to the CDC, a teen attempts suicide every 78 seconds and every 90 seconds one is successful. That's insane!Cyber bullying, are you kidding me? You had to make up a new term and act like it's worse than any other bullying? At least with cyber crap you are on an even playing field where no one has a physical advantage and your ability to "fight" back is only limited by your imagination. I remember getting beat up a couple of times in my youth at school or walking to and from school, those certainly weren't the worst things that have ever happened to me and they taught me to deal with people who were just plain idiots.
If you are a parent, know your children and what they do. If you are choosing to send them off into some other environment for most of their day you will need to invest extra time understanding what goes on there. Please don't blindly assume your kid is different and independent enough to handle all life throws at them on their own. If you are the parent of a bully, you suck. Please stop sucking and discipline your child the world doesn't need this crap.
