I was too much of a ninny to bully anyone. I can't remember anyone ever doing it to me either. Then again, I went to a real rural school until I transferred to the High School where my Mom taught at. After that, I can remember a few racially motivated riots....but no one ever bothered me personally.

My kid's both go to schools where it happens often though and it's also a problem within the neighborhood. I don't worry about my kid's getting bullied....since both of them would beat the crap out of someone who tried....but peer pressure is ALWAYS a concern for a parent.

I don't know...I guess each kid has to find their own way and figure out what is more important to them. After Jackson got arrested....I can say that BOTH of my kids seemed to straighten right out and realized there was a great price to pay for breaking rules. Since then, I've had a minimum of problems with either of them.
