O-mama - Opinionated Moms

Absolutely, it's up to the parents to teach their kids the skills to deal with bullies, but it's also our responsibility to teach our kids not to bully! MAMAS need to stay engaged.

Why was it on anyone else to do something??? Do it YOURSELF. And don't give me any crap about how they were bigger yada yada. Everyone is bigger than my peewee self, and I not only kept them off me, I protected my sister and friends. Not the size of the dog in the fight, size of the fight in the dog, and I for one am sick to death of cowardly, lazy people always expecting to have someone come run and save their sorry asses. What the hell happened to American BACKBONE when it comes to you people?????????? Standing up to bullies and backing them down is what WORKS.

Felix, one of me and 12 of them. I was 14 years old. Bullying is a crime and causes problems. I am now 60 and still have psychological scars. But apparently you were a bully. Your letter shows a bully mentality. I was a girl they were both sexes. They belonged to the elite and I did not. Come on. Be real.

I was never taught to physically fight. My father and mother told me only whores get in physical fights.

I was raised with self esteem but when you get harassed and beaten almost every day and nothing is done; it goes away. My Mom tried to do something but was threatened with the police. So Felix get off your high horse and quit bullying me.

@ Felix - bullying is a real problem. Parents and teachers have realized that bullying escalates beyond what kids can handle...I agree that there have always been bullies and there will always be bullies and it's up to us to raise our kids with social skills to deal with it and not to be a bully, BUT it's not about a kid stealing your lunch money anymore. Teens are struggling with absentee parenting and have lost the plot...they are lighting each other on fire and doing other horrific things. Bullying has gotten out of control. Yes, engaged PARENTS are the solution, but so are teachers, other aware adults and kids' friends...it's about uniting against bullies, not blaming the victims.

@amyruth60 - bullies exist in school, work and the world. Bullies are insecure people who pick on others to feel powerful. The only way to deal with a bully is not to let them have the power...they want a reaction, don't give them one...they want to incite fear, stand up to them...they want to control the situation, don't let them. I always tell my daughter that she cannot change the way other people behave, but she can control the way she reacts. Teach our kids to stick together...there is safety in numbers!!!

Bite me! You are using the same crappy BS tactics as those who throw out the race card where it does not belong. You sound like the racist blacks who called anyone who didn't vote for obama a racist, when in fact, THEY WERE THE RACISTS, same as you are trying to bully me. I will now demonstrate just HOW YOU STAND UP TO A BULLY AND DON'T TOLERATE THEIR BS. BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just reported your abusive behavior to O-Mama leaders. I have had enough of your abuse. Sometimes you just cannot stand up to a bully if you are going to get the crap beat out of you.

RFLMFAO Ok I get it, any time you don't have people rolling over to coddle you, it will be called "bullying", by YOU. Any time you are called out for your attempts to attack others, you are going to pretend "they started it"...Got it, you are one of those manipulative types that uses those tactics to try to bully others. So, once again, BITE ME! No kind of bullying works on me. But, was funny as all get out to read your demonstration of how some people just can't leave that crap behind in high school, and how some only claim to be victims, when they are not.

O.k., I gotta ask...what does RFLMFAO mean?
