[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the risk of upsetting certain group, I will just say this: The term 'bullying' is applying so loosely now that I think it waters down the true 'bullied' cases. Kids can be tough on each other but you can't categorize all as bullying. An example: year or so ago at DC's previous school, one kid said something in the class and rest of the class thought it was funny and laughed. Not in the mean way, which even the teacher and school administrators agreed. But nonetheless the kid got upset (because he wasn't trying to be funny), told his parents, whom then went to the administrator. Teacher got called in, had an intervention, HOS came to the classroom and talked to the kids, then a whole school 'sensitivity training'! Incidence like this masked those that are truly being bullied. And don't even get me started on ADHD diagnosis :roll: [/quote] Thanks - bullying expert. [/quote]
