Sorry, but I will never understand this mindset.

Katie is the victim here---she did nothing wrong, and nothing to "get herself" into the situation.

She was hassled by a punk, and she and her family did everything RIGHT. Instead of just letting it slide, or striking back with violence, they went thru the proper channels, reported it to the proper authorities, and saw it thru.

What do you suggest she should "learn"? That it doesn't pay to stand up to a bully? To have kept her mouth shut and let some punk hassle her--not to mention other kids?

It takes 2 people to start a confrontation. I know nothing of what happened between them, but if there were multiple confrontations, then kattie gave the punk the reaction he was looking for the 1st time and he kept coming back looking fo rmore.. Learning from what happened would be something like this- a bully comes up and harrasses her.. she smirks and walks away. the bully will then go find someone else to get a reaction from. Its that simple.

The most accurate thing you said in this whole thread was that you know nothing about the situation.

What school did you go to? Sheltered life?
That's not the way it is in the real world!
Seen it many times where a punk with start screwing with someone just for the hell of it, no reason needed for some people. Seen it all the way thru school and with my kids after that. Hear many of the same stuff from my brother who is a teacher also. Some kids can be real cruel unfortunatelly.

Katie, good for you! Glad you went about it in the right way and it all worked out the way it should have.

Nebe blaming Katie for the bullys actions is insane. I really dont know what to say...I just dont understand how this is somehow Katies fault?

Nevermind FAULT. don't see how anyone can say she had anything at all to do with it...except being a victim.

Right on. Bullys just choose someone to pick on, like what happened to Katie. Nothing she could have done to avoid this. To attempt to place some of the blame on katie is insulting.

Give Neben a break, he meant well. There is no need to bully him via the internet.
