1. That so sucks.

I don't ever remember that kind of peer pressure in high school, and I wasn't in the 'cool' crowd. Are kids just more vicious, and/or is social media influencing this?

So very sad.

2. The bullies need to be expelled. The admin needs retraining. This crap has to stop admins!

4. Charges should be brought against the administrators and teaches involved, as well as the students

involved and their parents. Some serious prosecuting needs to be initiated in cases like this.

There need to be laws with teeth to engage the negligence. This, will not be cured on its own.

There are some brazen sociopathic assholes in school systems that need to be eradicated. A gentle touch will not work, and many of them feel no guilt, in fact, some well might feel good about it as mission accomplished.

This, is not a gentle society, we as a nation need to quite being so damn delusional.

5. Heartbreaking beyond words. nt

6. Why is always after the fact that those in charge vow to take action?
