[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I absolutely remember kids saying this when I was in H.S. about 20 years ago.

That said, I agree with PP that bullies these days can affect kids' lives in a way they couldn't before -- texting, social media, email, the internet in general...

I would change her # stat, then I would sign those bullies up for every spam text message you can find (lol, okay...maybe not, but I would fantasize about it!).

Sorry she has to deal with this. Let her know that many successful people have been bullied. I remember a mean girl asking me, literally: "Do you even have any friends?" I remember a group of popular bully girls following me home barking at me because I was such a "dog." (One small win: I told them that if they were the ones barking, they were the ones who sounded like [i]bitches[/i] to me. That didn't make them like me, but man did it shut them up that time!) Ahem, anyway -- I turned out just fine and leveraged those experiences to help me understand what type of people I wanted to be around (and what type of person I wanted to be!) when I grew up and had more control over my daily interactions. Did it suck then? Sure did. But part of life is learning how to face down evil and walk away the same or better than you were before.

P.S. to the religious poster -- most of these bullies were from religious (and in some cases VERY religious) families. I sadly think that the lessons from church don't carry over to the week for most bullies at that age, though they do seem contrite as adults. [/quote]
