bullying incidents

There have been shock waves throughout Finland over a murder of a 16-year-old schoolboy by his fellow classmates, three other 16-year-old boys. He was beaten to death 4 December 2020 on public grounds near a hospital in Koskela, Helsinki. The shock comes from the fact that the victim has been...

Kayden Culp, who is described as having "special needs" and displaying autistic behaviour, was playing with some other other boys when they allegedly doused him in gasoline and set him on fire. Badly burned over 20% of his body, he is currently in an induced coma, fighting infection and on...

Sky News did a Special Report on McCann Trolls. Police gathered a dossier of hateful tweets, Facebook posts and comments attacking the McCann family. Sky news reported on the dossier outing a twitter troll known as @sweepyface. The reporter outed @sweepyface as 63 year old Brenda Leyland from...

Here's a response to cyber-bullying I hadn't seen before. A mother apparently caught her daughter engaging in cyber-bullying and as punishment took a photograph of her holding a sign that reads: She then posted the photograph to Facebook, and shortly thereafter someone posted it on Reddit and...

You might ask if a 6'5" man that weighs 300 pounds can be bullied. And asking that would mark you as an idiot. Yes, Florida is living up to its reputation as the state where black men named Martin can be bullied. In this case the victim is an Offensive Tackle from the Miami Dolphins. The...

An interesting article which as me in two minds, as a victim of 'old skool' bullying it's nice to see someone going after them, but I'm not sure this is the right way. http://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/latest/a/-/newshome/15191781/charlotte-dawson-fights-back-against-twitter-trolls/ However, the...

http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/21/us/new-york-bullied-bus-monitor/index.html?hpt=hp_c1 I am unable to watch the video at work, but if this is true, I am utterly appalled at these students and can't help but wonder if they were raised by baboons. Actually wait, that's cruel to baboons; how about...

Link: everyjoe dot com/play/video-casey-heynes-bodyslams-bully/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6e9_1300102958 Personally, I think the (bullied) kid was in his right to do what he did and suspending him is completely ridiculous. What's your opinion? (You have to fix the link manually, as I...

I'm a little hesitant about starting a new thread about bullying. However, it is a subject about which I am so interested in and have a lot of emotional investment in. My last venture was sidetracked, so I'd like to start fresh and in a more specific way. There is a new term out there...

http://www.wreg.com/news/wreg-student-bullied,0,2907693.story A middle school student in Mississippi was beaten by fellow students, ostensibly, because her name is Randi. I have to think there were probably other issues which led to this, but this is how the story is being reported. The fact...

Does anyone have experience of or know about a school or class where there was quite a lot of bullying at one point but the teachers or school staff or other pupils managed to stop it? If so, how did they do it? Did they change the behaviour of the bullies by harsher discipline or by other means...

In an effort to help her son fend off bullys at school a woman gave her son a knife and a BB gun to take to school. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2010/10/26/2010-10-

There has been a disturbing rash of teens committing suicide over the past month because of bullying. The majority of the suicides were caused by ******** targeting these kids because they were gay. This led Dan Savage to put out a video, and request other do the same, describing how life gets...

It's not a video, it's a news article. Threatening to kill anyone is illegal. As far as I am concerned, that's the only crime he's commited but even that, I would have to hear the content to agree or disagree. False imprisonment, really? Are they trying to pad charges? Getting on a bus and...

This is just wrong, as a victim of this sort of behavior in the pre-internet age, I have nothing but contempt for the people behind this campaign. http://www.news.com.au/technology/jessi-slaughter-has-killed-herself-the-latest-rumour-in-an-unsavoury-tale-of-trolling/story-e6frfro0-1225894080075...

Much has been written in these forums about bullying, the bullies, the origins and the consequences. What is hardest to write about is how it feels specifically to be bullied. Everyone knows that it feels bad, that it breaks the spirit, that it hurts. But how to describe exactly the way it...

I've read this twice, and it still makes me sick to read it: I'd like to know where the school administration was. I'd like to know what the parents were thinking. This is simply an inexcusable act by these kids. Frankly, I'd like to see the ADULTS charged for their dereliction in this case.

I'm 62 years old and my highschool years are far behind me. Just as there are bullies now there were bullies in my day too. I wasn't victimized much by them but I still hated them and feared them. Watching some weaker student being shoved around was a very negative experience for me. I've...

http://www.newsweek.com/id/215997/?gt1=43002 On my MSN home page there is an article about teachers bullying a student so badly that he had to transfer to another school. He sued and won. The teachers accused him of being bi saying he "swang both ways". He did a report on Abe Lincold and...

Link FSM forbid that if you think your kid has a problem at school, you talk with the other parents. Better to call the cops. That's what they're for, after all.

I have a young child in private school. I recently found out that another child in the school has been bullying him for no apparent reason, and my kid has come home with bruises on his arms, legs, and once just above his groin where this other kid has punched and kicked him. My kid has been...

I get my nails done, maybe three or four times a year, usually for a special occasion, once in a while just for the luxury of it. This past Wednesday, I needed a treat and went to the manicurist. I started going to Harriet six or seven years ago, and when I first sat down at her little work...

A film apparently showing a Royal Marine being beaten unconscious has been widely condemned. The footage obtained by the News of the World appears to show two naked men being forced to fight each other. One of the men is then kicked in the face, allegedly by one of his superiors in 42 Commando...

Sorry if this has already been posted. (if so mods please delete). http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4091956.stm

A horrifying story: http://www.longmontfyi.com/regionstate.htm While the number of girls involved was small, it would seem (assuming the news story is accurate) that the school administration was tacitly allowing this. This school should lose its charter. (Of course, a side issue is why any...
