Reply #50: This has nothing to do with the "gay bashing" but everything to do with bullying..when my

[madmom]

daughter was in probably about 3rd grade, she was also being bullied. The "guys" would pull her long pony tail or yank her arm, stuff like that. She came home crying and I immediately went to the principle. He sided with the boys, hey "boys will be boys" kind of thing. After the second incident when nothing was done I again went and told the principle that if something wasn't done IMMEDIATELY she was going to start fighting back and she would be taught how to administer a "well placed kick". He got all flustered and said "you can't do that" me: "watch me!" and I left. That was the end of the story on our side. The bullying stopped forever more! These kids are now in their 20's and friends.

Tell your friend to go ASAP talk to the teacher, principle who ever BUT GO!!!!
