219. The only way to get their attention is to sue the school district.
Sadly, this is true. They must be sued. Parents must stand up for their kids and hit the schools in the pocketbook. That is all they understand.

I was bullied for seven years, from sixth thru 12th grade. I had social skills, was friendly, but still was bullied. I was a year and a half younger than the other kids, smallest one in the class, usually, really smart, and a female with glasses. I wasn't big enough to beat anyone up and did not dare hit anyone, because I did not want to break my fingers. I was in orchestra and a serious musician.

I told the kids to go to hell, which is what my mom told me to do.

Then when I went off to college at the age of 17, some angry black girl decided to drag me out of my dorm room, down the hall, and toss me out a window at midnight, where I sat on her second story ledge. I went to the Dean and the Dean said it was just "getting injured during rush". This was racism pure and simple. She refused to expel this girl. I should have filed charges and sued the university. My dad read the hazing statute over the phone to the Dean of Students. I talked to her several times, and the resident assistant and nobody did anything. But my parents refused to come to San Antonio and confront the administration, and why I do not know. My dad was an attorney.

This was in the fall of 1972, the dean of students was Dr. Coleen Grissom, the school was Trinity University and the &^%$ bitch who threw me out a window just because I was white and did not like her was Cascell Noble.

I could have dropped out and gone home and run off. I got paranoid because word got all over the campus, and all these kids I did not know said "hi" to me. The black men were embarrassed. Once I was in the dining hall and Cascell came over to me and started sitting down and yelling at me. One of the black men came over and said "Do you feel threatened?" and I said Yes. He got her to stop hassling me.

Wish I'd sued the bastards.
And gone to the newspapers.
