11-year-old girl kills herself after 6th grade classmates allegedly bully her about immigration status, threaten to call ICE to have parents deported

The next school board meeting will have some white parents giving speeches saying "We are not a racist community." The school will do "an investigation." Nothing will come out of it. The bullies will then want to live their whole life "moving on" because they have been through enough pushing an 11-year-old past their limit. The parents will spend the rest of their lives grieving a lost child.

Sad but true. . . . Although I hold out hope if that is the right word that some of the kids will feel remorse as adults.

It's unfortunate that kids will always bully other kids in school, it's been happening for decades.

Even when the person being bullied and their parents say something to the principal, the bullying usually continues until something drastic like this happens.
 
Oh FFS, you think bullying is something new?

No I don't think it's something new.

I do think that having a president that's a bully tends to encourage it more.

You can't support Trump and tell your kids not to be a bully and have it compute in their heads.

This case is directly attributable to right wing/Trump rhetoric.

My brother was overweight and had a pretty severe stutter, He was picked on and made fun of regularly in school. If kids could only truly grasp the amount of hurt they can cause. My brother spent far more time crying over how he was treated than any kid should have to endure. I got in a few fights because of how big of assholes some of the kids were. As far as remorse, a few years ago I ran into one of the kids I got in a fight with he actually came up and apologized and asked me to tell my brother how truly sorry he was for the way he treated him.

Yeah, I'm sure a 6th grader bullying a classmate is politically motivated. :rolleyes:

I had a guy apologize to me for bullying me at a high school reunion. The weird thing was that I didn't even really consider him a bully. Only thing I can figure is there was a time when he might have been unkind to me one time and he remembered it and I didn't because there were so many people who were bullies to me that anything he did to me was pretty forgettable.
 
You know those bullies learned it from their parent's hate
This week, This American Life re-ran a story from 2021 where a group of high schoolers were selling their peers in a slave trade over snapchat. Literally posting pics of their BIPOC classmates and saying "how much?" and each one would take turns making fun of them.

The school board meetings had so many parents saying "We are not a racist community, we don't have racism here, the United States is not a racist country" but also... these kids learned that shit somewhere. The parents put way more effort into defending their children than apologizing to the victims.

So you're saying this is Bidens fault? I don't believe that.
