Have you had a child bulliyed, and how big of a problem is it in schools. I watched a show and many kids were bulliyed when teachers or adminstration weren't even there. The students watching pretending like nothing happened, and made up false accounts of what actually took place. The bullying victims, grow up to be angry adults getting ticked off at anything. What an be done and What is your opinion on this?

I feel like I was a nerd in school and people used to talk about me behind my back, but I'm over it now.. I'm beautiful, skinny and probably something that half of them are not!! I do feel as though for a long time I had a low self-esteem because of it but now I've let it all go and am a better person because of it!!

I was bullied in high school. Nothing was done about it. I've since reconciled with it and moved on to have much bigger problems, lol. Actually I think it helped strengthen my personality and make me less tolerant of those who treat me poorly.
