Fuck ! Our D is breaking down . FML <| sep |> Oh . My . God . I totally remember that , that ' s so cool ! <| sep |> Timmons in coverage . again . <| sep |> If you report it to parents , there is nothing the parent can do apart from contact the school or contact the bully ' s ' parents . If they contact the school , the bully will get punished temporarily and just make the bullying harsher . If the parents contact the bully ' s ' parent , more than half the time the parents won ' t care and it will lead to violent threats or even your parent themselves getting bashed . I didn ' t choose to report it once , I used one example . Over the years , I reported it a lot very early on because its what we were taught to do but it came apparent very quickly that bullies will just get angry and the bullying will continue , nothing will be done as in , no outcome from the bullies being punished . Parents aren ' t legally allowed to discipline other peoples ' children and schools will just send the bully to detention or to write lines once . The example I used with the black eye was one of my moments where I had no choice in the outcome , I didn ' t want to tell my parent that I was beat up because I knew it would get worse if I told anyone . but I didn ' t have to . it was a big purple circle on my face . No I read it . Its just wrong and not applicable to adults . You are only choosing to be at a bully ' s mercy or choosing to leave your kid at the mercy of bullies even further by not reporting it . Of course I don ' t expect a child to have that maturity but from a parent I would . But I just told you that my mother found out and the first thing she did was report it . I can ' t take you seriously because with not only track ' s comments but also mine , you can ' t even understand nor even read properly , what we wrote . If schools don ' t act properly on reports of bullying then that is a issue as well but if you never report it they never get a chance to . They only have so many powers they can use , which is to punish a kid in a way like detention or lines etc and guess what , it leads to the bully ' s anger and more intense bullying from them . Before you comment next time , please actually read the comments properly . Someone writes one thing , you take it completely out of context as if its a completely different thing said someone wrote .
