I was bullied when a teenager; for an example, I got run off the road one day, coming home from school. Could've been injured or killed.
I learned to move low and fast during high school, and breathed a great sigh of relief when I started junior college.
My tormentors? They were the sons of the deacons in my church, so they could do no wrong; I was part of a low-income family. One by one, though, things seemed to catch up with them - jail, family problems, traffic accidents, etc. - so, in its own rough way, Justice has been served on them.
But I remember them all, and will never forgive.
hispanic in a white bred bedroom comunity, but not hispanic enough to fit in with the kids from the wrong side of the tracks as it where...I was a misfit, so ya constant bulliying. I took my beatings, and made sure I gave a few, the only way to stop it, goign to the "authoraties" at school was pointless, i got in troulble, the bullie got exonerated, schools allways side with the bully, see the TV lies, the bullie isn't the oversized misfit (hes one of us) the bullie is the cool kid, the good looking one that the teachers all love, who can do no wrong. back whn I was in school the only way to stop the bully(who was probably stronger then you) was to get mean, drive a pencile through his coller bone, bash him with a rock, rack him, then keep doing it...you hurt the bullie and they leave you alone...at least that is how it was 20 years ago
....my eldist kid is now a target, this time its a femail bullie, but the story is unfortunaitly exactly the same, she torments him he gets in trouble...the teachers and administration are unwilling to do anything to her...finaly I told my kid "you know that whole never hit a girl thing...make an exception"...he decked her, knocked out a front tooth...she never bothered him again.
Its sad, you should be able to tell the teacher and have the bullieing stop, this school supposedly has a zero tolerence for bullies policy, and yet they did nothing...a kid who at 6 is writing stories, asks to do extra school work at home, and loves to learn was dreading to go to school, and had to become his own enforcer to fix the problem.
We need better teachers and administrators in this country.
This article, poorly written though it is, brings GNB readers a lot closer to "The Meaning of School Shootings" than the earlier series (although to fair to Evan Robinson, any one of his pieces contains more hard data than this one does).
I'm glad they point out that Fayetteville is "one of the country's better school systems." It shows us that, no matter how much money you toss at a public school, it's still a public school run by people who talk more like prison wardens...
"Judging by school records, at least one official seems to think Billy contributes to the trouble that swirls around him"
... than educators. "Trouble"? Really? You mean years of ongoing physical assault that would get an adult perpetrator arrested? Lucky for that school official, if he was knocked unconscious time and time again over three years by the same people, he has a police force that would come to his aid. Why doesn't Billy deserve the same consideration?
This official's screwed up attitude emerges directly out of a system that is, by design, more about babysitting and producing good little conformist consumers (and preserving the institutional bureaucracy) than anything else.
It's mind boggling that these so-called administrators can't draw a connection between an otherwise "sweet kid"'s disrespect for their authority (gee, ya think?!) and the fact that he's been terrorized and assaulted since for at least 3 years while that same authority sat by and did nothing (no doubt waiting to spring their "zero tolerance" policy on him the moment he brings a butter knife to school). But I guess teaching to the test and keeping up NCLB funding is the greater priority.
Not that the parents here are doing any favors for Billy. They should have sued the school district after spending the time and money to move him to a safe educational environment, or to a new school district where he could start over. Now, with a New York Times article, Billy will have the unique experience of being branded a helpless victim not only in his school, not only in his city, but nationwide, as long as this article sits in the archive.
The adults in this situation, from George Bush (no doubt a former bully) to the DoE to the Fayetteville school district to school principals to his mother and father (and I'd throw in the author of this lazy Times article), have completely failed Billy.
I hope that, at the very least, Billy is able to hear from a wider audience that he's not alone, that we understand exactly what's going on, that he's supported, and that this will pass.
Oh, and strike the "former" in "(no doubt a former bully)" From what I hear and see, the nasty little sociopath never outgrew that kind of schoolyard behavior.
OTD: while no child left behind and the standerised test don't help our schools they are not the reason school officials look the other way with bullies...that has been going on for as long as there have been schools.
Thanks for the link.
Parents of kids who bully and think that this is just kids being kids are sending a message that violence against those who piss you off for no reason is OK. And that lasts till adulthood. I still get bullied, though mostly it takes place on the road, where I am a 4'10" woman in a Corolla or Civic who routinely gets tailgated by men (it's always men) in Ford Excursions or mammoth pickup trucks no matter how fast I go.
Because it's not about "difference" or gender or even about race. It's about learning from an early age that you bully BECAUSE YOU CAN.
note to obama til denver:
i got a small spark of insight as to why school and law enforcement agencies in arkansas appear to be so powerless to stop this.
if they stifle a bully now and show him the error of his ways they might be inhibiting the growth of a future republican preznit.
As far as I'm concerned, there only ever is one way to act with bullies: public flogging and humiliation.
Put the bastard naked in the middle of the schoolyard, with the entire school attending, and whip him bloody.
Society has only one option, which is to cull this scum behaviour as early as possible, or face shit when the guy'll be an adult, because he can only grow worse with time.
It was quite sweet to learn that the worst idiot of my school later got his girlfriend pregnant - because as evangelicals they don't use contraceptives of course, and probably were too dumb to even know what it was -, and had to apologise in front of the entire congregation for sinning before wedding.
I'm a rather short adult and I've had teenagers shove me and jab me in the side with their elbow. One time while on a city bus, one surly teenager started poking me in the back with her pencil. I told her to knock it off or she would be kicked off the bus. I have seen similiar incidents with other adults. Teenagers no longer bother just other teenagers, they are now spreading their viciousness to the general population.

I got harassed recently by a large group of teens outside the neighborhood burger joint near the high school. I was so vastly outnumbered, I kept my mouth shut and kept moving, fast--because I know they no longer fear retribution by adults. What is it with these precious little snowflakes that turns them into sociopaths? I loathe corporal punishment, but the earlier poster's comment about public flogging is starting to make scary sense.
Bullying is rearing its head in all arenas now (from schools to predatory lending) and we are seeing why our Founding Fathers, informed by history's lessons, designed a tri-part government, with checks and balances.
Bottom line for all abuses is "because we can" and it takes all manner of checks and balances -- from positive peer pressure to invoking the law -- to discourage and divert bullying.
Any social system that allows one person to become a target and repository for the group's ills, is self-implodingly dysfunctional.
Not until the collective psyche realizes what it does to itSelf and decides to raise the bar for social interactions will we see the number of instances and the extensiveness of impact of bullying properly extinguished.
All of this goes hand in hand with finding the value that each human being has to offer, including differently able persons. Measuring a person's worth against the current backdrop of constrained, database-driven categories is part of the problem. Until we get out from under our enamored enchantment with technology and value the dynamic & changing (learning!) nature of human beings, we will be trapped within the paradigm of making people fit in little boxes, while the truth of the 'typical' human experiences only comes out in small doses, by the few who are allowed to speak it without consequence.
All of the dominant models of recording humanity right now are 2 dimensional and are want for their capacity to model human beings as evolving and multifaceted. The emphasis on making a nail-feet-to-board record is limiting to our understanding.
Heisenberg would have a ball with this -- database-driven intel that emphasizes, to the exclusion of all else, knowing the *position* of something (at a given moment in the past) without knowing momentum (or even context) -- and settling for it (as the most important facet of 'reality' and 'knowing'). The added emphasis by the 'security driven set' to overestimate the tendency to 'consistency' and even 'threat' make the maligning of 'difference' even that much more spurious...
and *that's* a real shame.
gidget: have teens ever feared retribution from adults...I knwo us burnouts never did..not when I was one, not before that either...nothign new there.
this is heartbreaking- I hope so much that he will hold on until he can get out of the situation he's in.
I'm just finishing up dealing with an adult bully whose behavior is absolutely poisonous: it is a sickening experience, and I bet it started just as early...
"while no child left behind and the standerised test don't help our schools they are not the reason school officials look the other way with bullies...that has been going on for as long as there have been schools."
Very true. My point about NCLB is that it reinforces the outmoded factory school model that in turn promotes bully culture. Instead of looking at ways to reform public schools for the 21st century, Bush (as with so many other policies) instead chose to perpetuate a system orginally intended to service 19th century robber barons. Minstrel Hussain Boy sarcastically but accurately provides the reason why.
Bullying is an unfortunate part of childhood (and adulthood), but it certainly doesn't have to be enabled by school administrators and officials when it comes to school culture. Public floggings, broad brush "zero tolerance" policies, cameras, or touchy-feely New Age counselling for the perpetrators won't get the job done, either. But with even a little creative thinking, there are ways* to make existing public schools a far more hostile and uninviting atmosphere for scoiopathic bullies, instead of their victims.
* e.g. upperclassman "buddies",/guides/peer counselors, deliberate public identification and isolation of bullies, "safe spaces" in the school for potential victims, counseling (and accountability) for parents of bullies, etc. These policies are already in place in many schools, but clearly not enough.
I an my best friend were both bullied from kindergarten all the way up through high school, and let me say that the schools NEVER did ANYTHING about it. Ever. Excuses over the years were mostly of the "well she must be doing something to provoke it" variety, or the "kids will be kids" variety, or the "we didn't see it so it didn't happen" variety.
When I was a kid, the idea of suing a district wasn't even a thought in anyone's mind, but I wish it had been. I hope that this kid's parents sue the crap out of the school and bring civil damage claims against the bullys' parents.
What a sickening story.
However as a public school teacher, my perception is that the bullying problem is less than it was 20-30 years ago. The primary reason being that kids don't have nearly as much free space as they once did.
When I was in HS in suburban Oregon in the late 70s and early 80s kids spent much of their day away from adult supervision. The majority of kids walked or biked to school with buses running only for those who lived too far away. After school was an adult-free zone for most kids until dinner time. And within the school the open campus and lack of security meant that there were endless corners on and off campus where kids could get cornered and abused.
Today's kids spend much less time out of adult supervision. At the school I teach at few kids walk or bike. The older ones drive and the younger ones ride buses or get dropped off. After school life is filled with organized activities or work for most kids. And within the school itself there are dozens and dozens of video cameras reaching into nearly every corner, not to mention full-time uniformed police officers who patrol the school and parking lots.
In any event, I think much of the problem at any individual school is a result of the tone set by the school and its administrators. Teachers quickly learn whether or not their administration is going to back them up on these sorts of discipline issues, and so do the students. At the school I currently work at this sort of thing is simply not tolerated. Abusive kids will be hauled out and placed in in in-school suspension and then shipped off to an alternative campus in a heartbeat. The administration is on top of things. And they put up with very little bullshit from students. The horror stories I hear from teachers at other school districts suggests that its probably a lot different elsewhere.
Kent: sorry, msot of the bullying when I was in school (80's and 90's) happend not away from school(where we could be with a self selected group of kids) but at school..at lunch, recesse, gym class, in the halls, in the calssroom...occasionaly with teacher knowladge.
face it we have to confront the "good kid" mentality that a lot of teachers have...the "good kids" are useualy the bullies...the kids that don't respect your authority, don't respecit it for a reason, you have sided with the bullies over and over...opresive authorities are not respected.
the loser, the misfits, the poorkids from the wrong side of the tracks, the big kid, ect are not the bullies...the prepy that allways kisses up to the teacher is, and he can get away with murder while the teachers and administration fall overthemselves excuseing him.
This article, poorly written though it is, brings GNB readers a lot closer to "The Meaning of School Shootings"....
Spot on OtD, and when the kid 'snaps' they'll all be "shocked, shocked..." and "no one could have predicted...".
Although I must admit that's one thing that always kinda bugged me about that aspect of Columbine shooters Dylan and Klebold--that their victims were apparently more random and opportunistic than hunting down those they really had grudges against.
I think someone else mentioned suicide and I think that also is a real possibility. It just depends on if he turns the anger inward or outward.
One final comment: the fundies oppose school anti-bullying programs (in large part) for the purpose of continuing to be able to harrass/intimidate gay/lesbian or questioning youth.
what both kent and moonglun said.
yes there's probably less free time and space for kids now but bullying has just gotten more sophisticated.
got called chink and gook for the first time in my life when we moved to scarsdale and then it stopped after middle school started b/c the morons who said such things were as it turned out crushed by the overall weight of classism and materialism of the rest of the town (they were working class, the rest of the town was filthy rich). plus, I'm a girl.
they still all live in their parents basements, eeking out a living, playing in a band going to nowhere, updating their myspace pages.
yes I keep tabs on them. all of them.
Not that the parents here are doing any favors for Billy. They should have sued the school district after spending the time and money to move him to a safe educational environment, or to a new school district where he could start over.
1. Move the kid to a place of relative safety. Never set foot in Arkansas again.
2. Sue the school board, the town and the individual administrators into complete and utter submission.
3. Name the school after Billy.
Three years. Three ^&#&%&)@(@!! years?
I don't think so.
I'm horrified by every single adult who watched this happen and didn't stop it... ESPECIALLY Billy's parents. WTF is wrong with people who "bravely" state they refuse to move away and let the bullies win? Obviously they're not the ones undergoing painful braces from cheek removals. It is unfathomable to me as a mom that someone would send their kid out the door every day with platitudes and crossed fingers. These are not people who couldn't make a move for economic reasons. There is no excuse for what they helped to allow to happen to their son. They did not protect him.
These bullies get their cue from the leader of the free world, who is a cowardly bully himself.
That being said, the parents should subpoena the contents the cellphone used to record the bullying.
And the parents of the bullies should be held responsible to the tune of several million dollars, their homes, and their cars. And their "good" names... nothing excuses this kind of low-class bullshit.
Oh, and stop blaming the victim and his parents. Go after the kids and their parents who pull this crap.
What's next? Blaming little girls because older men can't keep it in their pants?
Christ! This is sickening.
Kent said something valuable here: Much of this problem can be traced to the policies and priorities of administrators.
When I was in high school in the late 70s and early 80s, bullying was an instrument of the administrators' social control. A black bully (like the kids who beat me up for change for a Coke machine) would be dealt with quickly and harshly. A rich, white bully -- and there were a lot of those -- would be condoned. Some white kids got a kick out of meowing whenever I spoke in class, because I was a pussy. Teachers heard it and never acknowledged what was happening. The bullies, after all, kept the other kids in line, in a prisonlike fashion.
My son's middle school will not tolerate bullying. The entire school district takes bullying seriously. Bullies are pulled out of class, counseled, and the school involves the parents.
Billy Wolfe's school district is in serious trouble. His attorney merely has to get testimony from administrators in other school districts that don't permit bullying. It will become clear, if this suit goes to trial, that Wolfe's school district could do something about bullying, but chooses not to.
And the jurors are going to find out why: Because the administrators identify with the bullies, and they like the way the bullies keep poor, minority and "different" kids terrified and in line.
Queequeg wins hte prize...bullies are seen by teachers and hte administration as part of the controll structure that keeps the "misfits" inline....can't go haveing a kid mess up the status quoe...can't have a kid smarter then the teacher..can't have a kid not conforming to the system...teachers and bullies go hand in hand...change that if you want to change the system. the zero tolerence policy bullshit only hurts the victms they get hammered when they try and defend themselvs the bullis never get in trouble.
I only blame Billy's parents insofar that they saw they were unable to get justice and still refused to do something... ANYTHING... to remove Billy from the hell he was forced to endure. They had the power and the means to do more to protect their kid, but not the wherewithal.

Check those bullies out in 10 years. If they register to vote, it'll be as staunch Republicans.

Scout - I was shocked that they're only just now considering maybe suing the school system. What do they think would be the best way to get the schools off their figurative ass about this?
We as a society are not just tolerant of bullying, we're actively encouraging it.
Sure, schools tell the popular kids that they can get away with murder while throwing geeks and goths into the slammer for not submitting meekly enough to the daily beatings. But that's not all of it.
Bill O'Reilly screams at people to shut up, and he gets rewarded. Cops taser people who are already cuffed and helpless, and they suffer no penalties. Reality TV tells viewers that the way to get ahead is to inflict emotional suffering on others. The veep drunkenly shoots a guy in the face, and the victim has to apologize for getting in the way.
We're turning thuggery into a national virtue. It's no wonder the bullies act like they can't be stopped -- no one's ever told them differently.
And I kinda wonder if Billy's parents couldn't document his injuries, make it clear that there's a pattern of abuse which is not being stopped by school authorities, and make a case that the administrators should actually be arrested for aiding and abetting.
I know, I know... but if life were more like "Law and Order," the D.A. would go for it...
Reality TV tells viewers that the way to get ahead is to inflict emotional suffering on others.
I don't watch American Idol for this reason. The first few weeks, especially, are an exercise in sadism and collective bullying. Cruelty is our spectator sport.
...and make a case that the administrators should actually be arrested for aiding and abetting.
Hell yeah. Administrators should live in fear of being victimized by bullies in prison if they do nothing to stop bullies at school.
If there is a school shooting in Fayettsville, we will know what it is about. My experience was similar to moonglum's, in that the bully I had to deal with in grades 6 and 7 was just a darling to the teachers. So whenever I come across someone at work who pisses on his subordinates, yet kisses up to the bosses, I know what they were like as kids.
I've got a slightly different take from Queequeg. It's not about upholding the social/economic status quo from outside the classroom. It's about the teacher's authority in the classroom. Popular kids, especially the kind who like to bully, are the ones who are most able to challenge the teacher and undermine their authority. Bullying doesn't actually disrupt classroom activities that much. Especially compared to what popular kids could do if they are at odds with the teacher. Teachers' number 1 priority is keeping classroom order, so they will let bullying go on as long as it isn't loud and disruptive.
That's the other side of the "good kid" mentality.
I had a couple of teachers, one in particular, that resisted subtle bullying in his classroom, and he was a really incredible, one-of-a-kind teacher. Teachers that are really confident of their own authority, or that have a strong moral compass, might stand up to bullies. But I think many teachers are a lot more cynical than people realize, and they have an ends-justifies-the-means mentality. They think they're doing more good by keeping classroom order than by provoking opposition from popular kids by not letting them be bullies. Or it's just not their responsibility. Or...
>>They think they're doing more good by keeping classroom order than by provoking opposition from popular kids by not letting them be bullies. Or it's just not their responsibility. Or...
they just want to be part of the 'cool' crowd, be a part of the 'in' jokes. You think that doesn't happen? You'd be very surprised.

Nail, meet hammer.
The plutocrats want to conquer the world, so they need to culture a strain of amoral thugs for the task. Since these same plutocrats own the media...you get the idea.
I joked months ago on a YouTube thread that the difference between the regular Star Trek universe and its Mirror universe began when in the regular universe, Gore won in 2000, while in the Mirror universe, Bush won.
**********
I was picked on sporadically in school, mostly in grades 4-9, but compared to what some of the other commenters have described, and certainly compared to what's happening to Wolfe, I think I got off fairly easy. I don't recall ever being beaten up, for example. Unlike in Moonglum's experience, most of the folks who harassed me came from my own socioeconomic group or lower. [My parents, when I was attending school, could be called white- and pink-collar working class or lower middle class, depending on one's choice of definitions.]
IBW we where in the same econamic strata..i jsut had brown skin....I learned early on to give better then I got...see you pick the lead bullie and make it know that no matter what happens to you, they will bwe hurt very badly...
I ever tell you guys about macky?
scott..the bulliying has nothign to do with our curent president, or media...its an issue that has allways been there, don't start makeign up new causes look for the true roots and eradicate them.
What Moonglum said. The root cause of bullying is that it is ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.
moonglum: your experience sound right on target to me. I hope things are better now, but back then, one of the worst aspects of bullying was how school admins always seemed to take the bully's side.
Perhaps I wasn't sufficiently perceptive (probably), but it never seemed like a race/class/etc. thing; but rather that the bullies had experience in knowing what they could get away with: when authority figures aren't looking, to get a shove in (but a counter-shove would be seen); how to keep your cool and lie when sent to the principal, etc.
Snarki, the race, the econamic issues, they are all jsut excuses...its about power, the bullie has power granted by the authorities, the victems only have the power that they can grab for tehm sleves...the main problem is that school administrators and teachers let the bullieing happen...without the implicate aproval for bullying it would not escalate to the levels that it has.
the bullies are not teh scungy looking "bad" kids. they are the clean cut, ass kissing "good" kids..the administrations, and more importantly the teachers take the bullies side, that is why bullieing happens.
Moonglum,
And don't forget the added toxicity factor of organized athletics. If some kid was on any athletic team or a cheerleader in my school, forget it, they were golden.
Remember, the chess club kids never smashed the trophy case with the football team's trophies in it.
Wow.
Billy is ridiculously patient. I'd have invested in as many bike locks as there were fire doors and some gasoline by that point.
I hope the attornies force a change in the school behavior from this.
I was at a very large highschool(honestly, out side of macky, msot of the bulliying had died down by highschool, it was mostly a jr high, and grade school thing) so the jokcs where no one special...besides we had dozens of difrent sports teams...and it was a school that vlaued education (peprally for the engeineering team)...hell I was on a varsity sport myself (varsity four years in fencing)
well, we live in a country where an unrepentant bully achieved the highest office in the land. our economy is driven by bullying - war is our major export, and social shaming our favorite american pastime. it stands to reason that it's never going to stop until our values as a society change.
i intend that my daughter will learn the best tools of a peaceful, nonviolent person: martial arts. i will give her every tool i can to insure that she is confident in her ability to live her life as she chooses, and to stand up for the weak. you can only change bully culture one child at a time.
Again, my experience was different. I got along quite well with the jocks; I was even one of the managers for the basketball team in high school.
Most of the flak I took came from guys who weren't quite skilled enough to make the teams.
I guess the bully culture varies somewhat from school to school.
I guess the bully culture varies somewhat from school to school.
I don't think it's coming from any one thing like being richer or better/worse academically or physically stronger or whatever. I think it has more to do with the students' personalities and their ability to draw others onto their bandwagon.
I honestly wish I had gone against my parents'/grandmother's advice and beaten the shit out of at least two of the girls who tormented me. Detention for a day--or suspension--would have been preferable to being harassed practically every day for three years. :P
the jack-booted thugs and tazer packing troglodytes are the top of the bullying trickle down ladder... but OF COURSE this is now going to show up more and more everywhere... school, work, town halls... you name it.
deering thta exactly why I told my kid that it was ok to hit *that* girl. IF the authorities will nto protect you, you must be able to protect your self
Fighting The "Gang Mentality"
By Anonymous (Male)
I bet the bullies that actually fight with Billy are actually being manipulated by their friends. This is how it works: the ring leader decides to demonstrate his power by manipulating his or her minions to harass a seemingly vulnerable student. The ring leader says "so-and so is x, y and Z". It you minions want to be in my click you must punish so an so. Off the minions go to execute their masters bidding. Of course, the master (alpha male or female) does not use such direct language - his or her instructions are subtle, but well understood. Often the ring leader avoids punishment because they are smart enough to avoid direct involvement. Instead they sit back and enjoy the show - manipulating their simple minded minions and indirectly bulling those that they cannot affectively control.
Please do not encourage the victim to fight. The result can easily be devastating. Encourage the victim to use the law. Fights can go bad wrong. Lost teeth, death fro traumatic head injury, choking deaths, eye damage. The victim may not be willing to lose they may choke stab shoot hit with object ect.... the aggressor may be really mean - and or stupid he could do any of the above. Often the aggressor is just some stupid person that the real bully is using as a proxy
My fights didn
’t end to bad - A good undercut cracked my molar - and the magnetic CB antena base plate I was holding severely injured and attacker - he came close to death. He was a good person manipulated by rotten idiots - what if I killed him?? I like my teeth and would have liked to skip the gold crown. My hands are still scared from the teeth and bone fo the attackers I have been forced to fight. And yes, I have run from many fights also. I am proud to say I have never fought some who did not first attack me. I have learned through the years and I am now better able to stay away from dangerous people. Being out of school helps because it is hard to stay away from them when you are in the same school.
Martial arts are great, but you don
’t have to study them long to figure out how to kill someone - man its strange but 8 out of 10 fights I have been in were with some dummy that didn't even realize he was fighting for someone else. Do you really want to kill someone like this. I don't want to spend 20 years in jail. You don’t want your son or daughter going to reform school - I hear the fighting there is worse. They will be taught how to smoke crack.
All these absurd comments about bullies being Republicans are simply that--absurd.
Most of the bullies I encountered in school were Bible-thumping, redneck, liberal racist Democrats, the Gore/Carville types.
This problem won't go away as long as school administrators kow-tow to the parents of these thugs. Haul the vermin out of school in handcuffs while everyone watches. A time or two of that, and these scum will knock it off. Hold the parents accountable, too, and you'll see some changes.
Bullying has always been there and I think some of it is out of fun, which most of the time ends up being harmful. I think it's also due to drug abuse which has become very common among young people!
