I know sometimes writing or talking about these issues brings up that pain all over again, so I know this wasn't easy for you to write. I applaud your fearless effort of putting raw personal things in the open in an effort to stop others from feeling the same thing.

I think sometimes, too, parents aren't as supportive as the child needs them to be because parents don't realize what a huge issue it is for the child. Parents sometimes give advice like, "Don't pay any attention to them," or "Just ignore that silly stuff." What parents have to realize is that that's the child's whole social world - not easy to ignore or "not pay attention" to. As adults, we know that we'll grow up and put our elementary/middle/high school years behind us and in the end, it won't matter that much, but children don't have the life experience yet to know that.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845999649616338985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415422558794327527.post-54740062116342439822010-11-12T14:57:02.400-06:002010-11-12T14:57:02.400-06:00That's so true.

Parents might think they just want to stay home rather than understanding what's really going on. <br />Great post! Just another reason that the lines of communication MUST stay open. Parents can even start a conversation by telling their children about how bullies were when they were a kid. This prevents the kids from feeling questioned, but can lead to a very productive conversation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04968548036580977266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415422558794327527.post-71518927069613262032010-11-11T06:53:38.391-06:002010-11-11T06:53:38.391-06:00Jen-In reality, I've never heard of the book &...Jen-In reality, I've never heard of the book "Bullycide", so no, I didn't take the term "bullicide" from the book, but thanks for letting us know that the book even existed.
