I wish people could laugh off the internet trolls and realize that they are the insecure and unhappy ones
agreed.. i would put some of this issue on the parents themselves.. I know its hard to relate to a young teenager sometimes but that is part of a parents "job" in raising them..if they were more involved and present in their everyday lives then maybe this is something that would never have grown heavier on the kids mind...Both the victims' and bullies' parents need to be more involved in their childrens' lives. This shit makes me so sad, and I don't even like kids. It's all just so unnecessary. The story about the girl up in Canada who killed herself, after posting the youTube video with flashcards describing her struggles was awful too. Really sad stuff.

Expanding on Murph's point, I think parents tend to forget how hard the teenage years are. You always hear parents say things like "you are a teenager, what do you have to worry about." I remember for myself, the teens were easily the hardest time in my life.
JustinCruise your start date needs to get moved up ASAP, you are absurd.
I know my kids have life pretty damn easy compared to what I had. I tell them simply their job right now is to bring home good grades and that's it. They have no other job in the world then to go to school, pay attention and work hard to get good grades. They can sleep in until 10 on the weekends, shoot hoops with me at the gym, go swimming in the pool if they want but bad grades are unsatisfactory. Sounds like a good deal.
You sound like a great parent but even kids of great parents hide stuff, so nobody should can be 100% sure their kids have it as easy as you might think unless you're with them 24/7 which depending on their age might be impossible.
A cute little button nose on your daughter might be getting them called monkey nose by the other kids on the block and the fact they know how much you love it it makes it too much to share with you and without that outlet of help they let the abuse continue while both afraid to challenge the bully and embarrassed to tell a parent and something so crazy like that has kids hanging from their rafters.
Even the best parents see their kids having the best time with THEM they have to remember to ask if everything going on when they aren't around is also alright even though it seems like a no brainer......After having a great time with my kids I find time to be serious for a second and ask about life outside of 'us' just to be sure.
If Choptalk checks in, no I don't have a monkey nose....
