In reply to the discussion: DetNews story: Town turns tables on school prank (bullying) - You're gonna love this! [View all]renate
(13,776 posts)8. I'm so glad there's a happy ending, but oh does my stomach hurt
I wasn't even bullied in high school but I feel sick (not as sick as before I finished the article) thinking of what this poor girl went through.
My kids' school district seems to be really good at quashing bullying (at least, that's what my kids say, and I've heard sweet stories of them and their classmates sticking up for anybody who's being teased), but just the idea of these tender little hearts being wounded so cruelly and needlessly...
Anybody who's been bullied in school has a kind of courage that I am unable to even imagine, let alone express in words. They have my eternal admiration.

Being popular isn't important. Doing the right thing is. Or at least trying.
