[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post hits home for me because my HS DD has recently been the subject of bullying.

[b]A girl, who has since moved away, told my daughter who was cutting herself to "cut herself deeper so she would cut herself and bleed out to death". [/b]The girl moved away, those type of threats diminished, so I didn't deal directly with that particular girl.

[b]I recently took my daughter to a therapist, who basically asked me, why the FUCK didn't I do anything at the time.

My daughter seems to be dealing ok but - #1 loser parent here.[/b]

[b]Not only do we (general we)[/b] set our kids loose with phones, Internet, computers...when things go wrong we say - gee, deal with it yourself, or *we* choose not to deal with it. I'm about to go let the wrath out on my DDs HS because this shit WILL stop.

[b]WTF?[/b]

"#1 loser parent" seems overly generous to me.

But, hey the cuts were not that deep, not like you know, like they left any permanent scars or anything...[/quote]

Back off with your self-righteousness.  An estimated 15 to 20% of kids cut at some point.  It is a much more common problem than you think.  My DD did this during a tough phase and it was absolutely one of the most harrowing things I've gone through as a parent.  We got her help and she's doing great now, but the last thing I needed was being judged.  You have no idea what its like.  Some kids who cut have obvious scars.  Some don't -- and could be your child.  Often these kids are high achievers, "good" kids.  This PP is doing the right things and getting her DD help.  Thank God her DD has her for a parent and not some of you.

And given the way some of you have responded on this thread its not obvious to everyone when there is bullying that requires some kind of intervention.  I doubt you are perfect parents.  In fact I know you aren't given your ignorance and self-righteousness.  I sure hope for their sake your kids never have problems.

PP was being very honest about where she blew it.  if you can't think of a time you made the wrong parenting decision, then you are lying to yourself.[/quote]
