This is horribly horribly horribly tragic, and so much needs to change. Of course we need to teach our kids to treat others with respect and love, but I believe its also our job as parents to empower our kids so that they wont believe bullies when theyre mean. I was made fun of for my height in middle school, but I didnt even realize the kids were making fun of me until much later (literally college). I was so proud of being tall that when the kids called me Big Bird and Jolly Green Giant I laughed right along with them and accepted those as nicknames. I never once took it as something mean, and Im sure its because my parents raised me to love the things that made me different. Please dont think Im justifying bullying in the slightest, but instilling confidence in our kids is just as important as teaching them to love.
