You know when I was a teacher I protected and defended students like this, because I have a firm belief that no Child should ever suffer, especially at school...I Can't help but being volcanic like in my anger towards fellow colleagues in the teaching field that let this bullying happen, and Pathetic Administrators that are blind to this sociopathic bullying on kids....Makes me ill!!!!!

That hit me really really hard. In my presence I could never allow a child to be or feel hurt with trying to help. That's a promise

The trick with bullies, is to believe in yourself, with all your imperfections, who cares? no one is perfect. But also its important to know, that they are as insecure as you are, that they are acting out, playing tough, being mean to make themselves feel better.
They are posturing and trying to get under your skin. The trick is to recognize this and to not let them, to laugh at their trying to do so. Bullies also hate to be bullied and facing them down once in awhile, calling their bluff, is something that surprises them and throws them off.
Also remember, resisting bullies makes you stronger, diamonds are formed under pressure.
