I was growing up it was being pushed around and them taking something that belonged to me.

Hello; It use to be this; "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."

All the jawing that went on was just window dressing. The only thing that really mattered was if things got physical. The taunting and egging on did not count much.
There was also a big difference between a fight and a bully. If you fought back you were no longer being bullied, you were standing up.
A bully usually picked out some one smaller or weaker to go after. If the smaller person did not stand up more was to come.
Not a good system in ways but the rules were easy enough to follow.

Hello; A program just started on PBS. A documentary "What lies Upstream?" on independent lens.

Seeing as how we all use water it might be of interest. It is starting out with the spill near Charleston WV a few years ago. I had a friend who lived there at the time.

They have gotten so 'weak' on what is called bulling. My daughter's classmate(female) went in to the boy's bathroom by mistake. My daughter laughed at the situation. Her friend later she felt bullied.

What? When I was growing up it was being pushed around and them taking something that belonged to me.

I like 80's Heavy Metal.

Old metal can be so much better.

When I was a kid bullying was more severe than today's bullying(1 kid cracked my skull, I got revenge tho haha).
