A child should not feel threatened or in danger at school! School is a place where a child should go to better themselves, not have to fear what the day has in store for them. This child is being attacked because he told an official at school that one of the boys offered him drugs. Okay, let that simmer. The THIRTEEN year old CHILD was offered drugs by another child. Are you kidding me!?
Who is even supplying these kids with drugs??? I would love to meet them. When I was 13, I was worried about who I would ride with to the Beasley Center birthday party that weekend... not getting beat up on the way home from school.
Why can't kids just be kids? There's so much pressure on them now to act and dress so much older than they are. I mean, kids are compromising their innocence at such a young age now. It's really sad. It's sad that a child who was going to an adult for help got attacked for that very reason.
Kids are so smart. They have all the hateful things that our parents hid from us at their very fingertips. They are all on Facebook, they have access to drugs, they have all of the Internet to their viewing pleasure at the touch of a button. It's on their phones! They can see whatever they want, whenever they want.
Who is protecting our youth? Who are going to be the ones to take a stand against this ridiculous bullying? Why wouldn't that bus driver try to break up that fight!? Who was defending that child? You can give me reasons all day and night and I will never understand why this wasn't stopped before the boy's ARM was broken!? Is it going to take another child being hurt before someone puts an end to this?!
Sorry for the soapbox but I am just so disappointed with this tonight. No excuse. Praying for our youth tonight.
