Protect our kids

Why is it that certain people feel they can treat someone the way they want by insulting them, picking fights with them or sometimes worst?  It's an epidemic that sweeping the country at an alarming rate.  Bullies could be the reason why your son or daughter doesn’t want to go to school.  They could be causing our children to not want to be at school forcing them to cut school or worst.  Bullies were the cause of the Columbine shooters one of the worst American Tragedies in recent years.  How do we defeat Bullies in our children's schools?  We don't need our children to have tough times with learning as well as dealing with a person making their days miserable.  It's up to us as parents to figure out a way to get our children past this.  I've heard in some cases that teachers try to approach parents about their kids being a bully, and the parent acts as if it's impossible.  Just because you’re in denial doesn't mean you should allow your kid to be treating other people in that way.  What about other people that believe that their kids will be treated kindly when they're left at school.  We have an obligation to our kids and to everybody else that our kids don't bully or treat anyone with disrespect.  Not only could this lead to diminishing the mentality of some kids, but they may bully, but could also lead your child to a life of crime when they seek to bully people at an older age.  Let's keep our kids from falling victims to bullies, since we all know or have seen what damage they can do.  It starts with us remember that.
