I absolutely hated school until I went to college. Bullying sucks and I don't care what excuses you make up for it, it's never okay. It doesn't build character or any of that bull crap. It's destructive and needs to be stopped.<br /><br />tiger-chick-1(at)hotmail(dot)comEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772530580061009074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1868326771039467931.post-64564236763526792422012-09-29T19:35:18.796-04:002012-09-29T19:35:18.796-04:00Ricki, social violence can be just as devastating ...Ricki, social violence can be just as devastating (or more) as physical violence.
