Reply #5: schools make it worse, [View All]

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

There was a serious bullying problem at the high school I went to and that was a very long time ago, what was most frustrating is that the school councillors were the worst stereotypes you could imagine, tied die shirts and gray pony tails and throughly convinced that all the bullies needed was to learn how bad they made their victims feel and that would make them stop.

All their efforts really did was make it worse, when they made a really big deal out of a suicide in Riverside that only really emboldened the bullies. Among other things students began bookmaking taking bets on when individual targets would kill themselves.

I can't think of a thing the school administration did that could have made things worse for the students being terrorized. There was a no police involvement policy. So despite the fact the bullies were responsible for multiple felonies the school wouldn't cooperate with the police, on the grounds that they didn't want to ruin the bullies life. Because as soon as the bully figures out how much he is hurting his victims, he will clean up his act and goto Stanford!

Most of these punks were hardened criminals before their voices changed, the only place they were going is jail!

Alot of the bullying was also racial, my school had a large number of Iranian and Vietnamese students, and a whole lot of white trash who though putting the "gooks and terrorists" in their place was patriotic - they didn't appreciate the fact these were in large part the children of South Vietnamese and The Shaws military and government big shots.

Although it is very interesting to see where some of the bullied ended up in life,

A girl who was terrorized by a group of girls went on to be discovered and spent much of the 90's as a model living in London and Milan, she now works as a photographer.

A guy who was terrorized for allegedly being gay is a member of a rock band, very wealthy and married to a bombshell actress.

Another guy who was terrorized for being an AV nerd is also very wealthy and is one of the most highly sought after editors in Hollywood.

As for the worst of the bullies several of them are dead, AIDS, heroin, police shootout and a stalled drive-by shooting. One is in jail for rape another is in jail for beating a guy to death while he was on meth.

One of the leading female bullies went into fetish porn, so basically she gets pissed on for a living, four kids by three fathers, lives in a trailer in Victorville.

I only know of one of the bullies who has done shit with his life and he is still an asshole.

So I guess there is justice in the world,
