[AD from SpringBay]

Ms. Ferns said the boy was diagnosed as depressed and anxious after being verbally and physically bullied for several years...

I would like to thank our students and staff for the way they handled the situation.

Too bad the magnificent teacher and administrator couldn't have handled the several years of bullying in such an efficient manner. Several years of physical and verbal bullying. What would Freepers do under similar circumstances? When the authorities cannot do it for you, then there comes a time to take care of your own problems. This 'boy' had enough and realized a few things. Too bad he'll now be medicated until he's 40. Just another win for the public education system. They attained their goal of creating another manageable citizen.

Kids bully because they can. In our new enlightened era, they tell kids, there is NEVER a reason to fight back, just be a victim. Personally, I don’t believe in that nonsense and I’ve told my kids, stand up for yourself and there has been occasion for them to do so.
