To Kill a Mockingbird
Atticus Finch to daughter Scout, Chapter 3
I loved reading To Kill a mockingbird if u have not had a chance to read it Now to move mediums from books to Television
I am soo happy that this is finally out I am thrilled I got bullied in elementry and middle school, What happened in middle school is below
I remember when I was little and my dad told me that "Sticks and Stones can break your bones but words can never hurt you. Well I don't think it is true... Wait let me rephrase that it is . Princess and book gal have a easy cry baby that would me. My dad says that I am too sensitive and tells me to ignore it. That is the bad advice that you can give a victim of bullying disabled or not .Still don't believe me okay here comes a story
In sixth grade my mom and dad through that I should have one class in special education called RSP. it basically is a study hall with a special needs teacher who helps you do the work. Well in Sixth grade I had a guy in my class who always said I was a loner and no one played with me. I told the teacher and she said to ignore it because he was from a bad family and needed attention. Well I never could ignore it and I spent the remainder of my first middle school year yelling at him back and froth.
The school thorough I had behavior problems so in seventh grade I was put into a RSP room with a strict teacher and mean kids. Man did I hate that class. There were three other kids in the class who teased me and like the guy in 6th grade all of them came from middle class families trying to make ends meet. What made it worse was that there was a nice RSP room with good kids who teacher was nice. I also was the only one with my teachers on my RSP teacher case load The nice one had the others.
On Wednesdays were the hardest day of the week. The teacher had meetings that day and we were under supervision of a sub. One peculiar Wednesday a girl said that the entire 7th grade hated me. She was training for a peer helper and the class was talking about me and how much they hated me. My aid talked to me and sat by me during my next class and we talked to the head teacher(Who is a great guy that i had for math the next year) who told me that they had been talking about how to treat someone with a disability and my name came up. Someone did not learn their lesson.
Words do hurt and schools need to be aware of this and help those getting teased and don't tell them to ignore it . Think about it this way if your son/ daughter fell and scarped his/her knee you wipe it up right. Well bullying is like that only the cut is invisible It's a cut to the child self esteem

The peer helper. I'm sure she was trying to help ... but the OUTRAGE, AZ.
And, no, we should not say someone is too sensitive. Sensitivity is a beautiful quality and it alerts us to what might be going wrong in our environment and ourselves. It can also be the way to set things right.
Think of all the things that have changed because someone was sensitive.
Great to see you with Lauren Potter. (She plays Betty on Glee?)
Also the guy from the "bad" family made me think of the fights I was enticed to have back and forth with two boys.
"If you sense it, don't ignore it". The big problem is of course the bystanders: the people who would not otherwise be bullies or victims, but contribute to it otherwise.
Never more do you need your own advocate or to be an advocate to someone else.
And thank you for pointing out the class problems.
It does seem that they intensify at middle school. I don't know why, but elementary and high school seem to be more eglitarian.
An Irish teacher friend pointed out that "11-15 year olds can be hard judges".
Well said! Thank you so much for being willing to share this. It should make all of us think a little more about how we treat others and respond to them.
