I recently helped my girlfriend move her son back with her after he had been living with his dad for about a year. He wasn't living in the best conditions and some events has transpired that lead her to take action and bring him back to live with her. He was bummed because it's the end of the school year and he would have to come into a new school with one month left. We all know that it's a nerve racking and lonely place to be.
He has been in his new school for about a week and yesterday while he was at the park some kids were messin with him and took his bike. He obviously didn't want that to happen so he told them to give him his bike back. They decided he needed his butt kicked and the beating commenced. He didn't fight back, he just blocked as much as he could while he whaled on him. The black eye and cut up face showed that even with the blocking this kid got a beating. He is one of the nicest kids I've met.
Bullying makes me so angry. While I was Youth Director at my former church I ran across case after case of suicides and attempted suicides resulting from the bullying of other kids. Something needs to be done. I can't just listen to these stories and not get involved. Praying about the next step.
