Quick, get rid of the paperwork. Adam, where is the effing shredder. Bully? Nonsense. Never happened.
My high school would have said I wasn't bullied. They'd be lying.
Lying implies intent. They likely would just be wrong.
They're still not qualified to make that statement. It's a fucking high school, the safest stance is always going to be that a kid like that was bullied.
The only statement they should make is if they have a record of him being bullied or not. They should not be speculating either way.
The article actually does say that they have no record. So it's thedailybeast.com misquoting them in the headline presumably in an effort to spin a narrative.
Oh please, look at that year book photo again and tell me seriously that he wasn't bullied.
This shit here is why I'm glad I was homeschooled with caring, loving parents.
We literally didn't have bullies in our school.
Of course, we also had proper funding and an administration that both gave a shit and had the power to expel bullies.
Sounds like you got lucky compared to many. My wife's experience at a large high school despite not being one of the easier targets still saw and experienced plenty. Bullying of my older sister was a big reason my parents did the same for us decades ago. Meanwhile the general statistics show a rising trend of bullying, forgetting rising adolescent suicide and ODs. Probably no coincidence that this coincides with rising school shootings, too. We mutually agreed to homeschool our kids with supplementary education (online curriculums, state resources, libraries, etc.).
Secular, not religious Christian fundies. That's where many issues with homeschooling arise.
"School says he wasn't bullied" no shit. Guy could get beaten right in front of the principal and they'd claim nothing happened lmao
Imagine interviewing the superintendent or whoever and they go: wait, you're talking about Pantshitter Mcglasses? Yeah we bullied him, look at this little shit.
He'd be suspended or expelled for "participating in a fight"
Every report I’ve seen said he failed to make the tea so I don’t know where the fake fact came from that he was on it, but this is the first time I have read he wasn’t picked on.
The claim they're making is that he was not kicked out of club for his behavior.
I've always seen it claimed he wasn't allowed in at all for strange comments and poor aim.
Interesting that they're saying something no one was claiming happened didn't happen.
To be fair, I don't think we can rely on a school self-reporting bullying.
There is no bullying in hi-school-sai.
