Bullying

This is in response to a newcast/article about some kids bullying an older man they had seen dancing on the subway.  http://7online.com/society/internet-celebrities-rally-behind-dancing-man/549327/

How do bullies become bullies? Who the f is teaching them this crap to these kids – their friends, their parents, their teachers? I wonder what the parents do when they see their (young) kids bullying somebody – do they put a stop to it or do they say, “oh, it’s just a phase’, or, “they’ll grow up someday”. It’s time for parents to be parents and stop this bullying stuff now. It’s time for EVERYONE to shame bullies into knowing we will not put up with this behavior any longer. Take a stand and speak up if/when you see a bully picking on someone.

Thank you. [stepping off the soap box now]
