Oh yeah, I've been picked on in Jr High and even when I was in 9 th grade too...
I remember sitting at the lunch table and several students would threw food at me such as peas or any kind of vegetables and sometimes they would run me down in the hallway by bumping into me .....I remember running into the bathroom and shut the door and sat on the toliet lid and cried like a little girl....It wasn't easy being deaf and not alot of students know what it like to be someone like me who couldn't hear.....
I believe children needs to know that picking on someone could hurt others and that they wouldn't like it if someone did that to them....I think parents needs to step in and stop their children from being so cruel to others......that what I am doing to my children because I don't believe one child should get picked on no matter what ....
Btw, Good Thread Roadierunner!
