[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who thinks this kid totally overreacted?  He got chased. Period. he didn't get threatened or touched.  One kid got chased by other kids.  Isn't that just ... part of the life of a child?

Nothing bad happened. [/quote]

The next time a group of people chase you while yelling threats, you should just carry on as if nothing was wrong. If they don't touch you, there's no problem.

While this may be common in most children's lives, doesn't it say something about our society that we accept it as a normal rite of passage?[/quote]

There is a big difference between elementary or middle school kids and a high school senior.  These are basically adults.[/quote]

While they are 17/18 years old, they are still youths and still in school.  And even if this were college or a first job, it is outrageous that this kind of conduct is acceptable or event expected.  Kids are required by law to be in school, it needs to be a safe place.  The fact that this is school limits the option of a student to protect him or herself.  [/quote]

My point was that 17/18 year olds are much more able to hurt each other than elementary school kids, so I don't think OP overreacted.[/quote]
