@Joyce. You’re wrong. It will end. When you grow up, people don’t treat you like that. If people treated you like that in a work place, they’d be fired. But the little bastards get away with it in school, and for what reason, I have no idea.

The bullies are the ones that ought to be locked up, as they’re the cause of the problem. This girl needs psychological help, to get over the emotional damage caused by the poor-excuses-for-human-beings that have tormented her.

Most of humanity are jerks. And if you think this girl deserved to be locked up and that the bullies are innocent, you’re probably a jerk too.

I ALSO ENDED UP IN JAIL BECAUSE THEY WROTE FALSE COURT PAPERS AND ARE LIARS. IT IS HORRIBLE THAT YOU CAN NOT ASK FOR HELP AND THE PERSON WHO IS BEING HURT ALWAYS ENDS UP GETTING HURT MORE. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE END UP KILLING THEMSELVES. I ALSO WANTED TO DIE BECAUSE OF WHAT THE BULLIES DID TO ME AND ARE STILL DOING. IT WILL NEVER END.

I am glad the girl was placed in custody, this time she had to spend away gave her time to realize that hurting someone, or killing them could send her to jail for the rest of her life. On the other hand, who are these girls supposed to have to talk to?

Now, these feelings could build up in her, and she has no release for this anger, because she is going to be afraid to tell anyone. I am sorry for all of the torment this girl is enduring. I hope that she knows that high school is only 4 years of her life. She will have the rest of her life for all of the wonderful things she is going to do, and for all of the wonderful people she will meet. High school does not define a person. These people are obviously bored with their own lives, because they have nothing better to think about, or do. Talk to them in 10 years when they are working in a gas station for the rest of their lives, and you are making millions:)

This is wrong and the girl was right to file a law suit. A counselor should have been helping her with positive ways of coping. This girl did not threaten the person directly causing fear and harm to that person (by the way, the way they were doing to her). She expressed something in therapy, perhaps hoping that the counselor would help her find positive ways of coping with her feelings that were contributing to the thoughts. Feelings, by the way, that were understandable under the circumstances. People who have not endured continual harassment, easily downplay the effects, especially if they have been a part of such behavior in the past. Accusing a person of a crime because of thoughts in their head that were shared, but construed as a threat by an ineffective therapist, is close to a science fiction scale nightmare! This is not what advocacy groups were talking about when they try to get people mental health help sooner. This counselor was taking this action to cover her but. But she wasn’t doing her job to help the student. If she wanted to do some medaling around she should have tried to get some of the bullying to stop and at the very least help the student to cope under the circumstance, but obviously she possessed none of those skills. Betraying the student’s trust by taking action that put her in jail!? There should be a law against minors going to jail in the first place! This has become a country of persecution. That this girl is taking this to court is a good thing because she is taking power over her circumstances in a lawful way and not as was suggested she would do, violently and unlawfully. What this counselor did was re-wound this girl, by betraying her trust and behind her back becoming someone who would put her in a more threatening circumstances than she was already in. This was not someone on her side. If this woman felt this girl needed more serious help with her anger issues she should have referred her to a therapist for more intensive treatment.

I too was bullied as a child in middle school. No one there would stop it…the teachers, the counselors…even the principle…until I told my mother what had been happening for half the year. She went to the principle and DEMANDED that something be done. She’s my hero for making the physical and emotional abuse stop. The bullying isn’t what made me stronger. It was my mother standing up for me.

As a senior in high school, I stood up for a freshmen who had done nothing to be bullied. He was a sweet kid and it pained me to see some sophomore getting verbally abusive. The sophomore tried to threaten me like I was going to be scared of him. I whipped around so fast and told him to grow up before I get the entire Senior class to beat him down after school. Needless to say, that stand of courage shut him up for good. He never bothered that boy again, thank goodness, or I would have had to gather the senior class…of which I only really knew two fellow seniors.

Bullying will happen. If grown ups won’t help, get people together. Anyone who has been bullied before should form an alliance. If more than two people stand against one bully, the bully will usually back down. Our nation’s motto is “United we stand, divide we fall.” It is the same on the playground.

Actually ALL bullies should be treated like the prisoners of Guantanamo Bay were! I don’t need to specify anything beyond this! They are ONE of the scums of the Earth and are the reason why kids shoot up schools, become drug addicts or alcoholics and shit. As someone who’s been in her shoes in the past I certainly won’t judge her as everyone has a breaking point! I do admire people who turned their later success to “&F$* you” message for their tormentors but not everyone can hold it in too long and channel their rage into something else… That is the UGLY TRUTH!

The victim is even more victimized at the hands of the counselor whom you’d expect to give help to the already abused and confused girl. She should have been immediately given psychiatric help instead of being taken to jail. All I can say is the counselor was or is incompetent.

I agree with one of the others that it starts at home if you don’t show your child how to act by example. That child would take it out into the world and be disrespectful and rude and violent to others. If this is the kind of behavior they are being shown at home.
