Everyone should help fight againist bullying, my big brother was bullied when he was younger. He went through alot of pain his whole life, he got token away from my mother when he was younger by cps. As time went by he lived in foster homes and grew up there, we got to see him but it wasnt the same. He was still bullied there in the foster homes and no one stoped it from happening and no body realized what it would do to him. So the day he turned 18 the forster home made him move out he came and lived with our family. It was really nice to have him back home i got my big brother back so everything was good again, he got to be in his neices life and see her grow. My brother decided that he wanted to go to the army and do something with his life. But the army didnt help he got off his medicine and thats when everything went down hill. He was going through alot and dealing with the past wasnt helping, on March 20 my brother and I got into a fight and not knowing this was going to be the last time I would get to see my brother. At 5 A.m the next morning on March 21 I opened the door to the police telling me my big brother was gone forever he wouldnt be here for me or my daughter, I didnt know what to do I didnt know what to say it felt like a dream like it wasnt real. If everyone only knew that it takes one word to change someones day and that the person you love can be gone forever.

I am so glad to have watched your program today, I know bulling is a big problem at our schools. I am so glad that the schools in my area (savannah ,Tennessee) have programs for no bullying! they even have a no bullying week like they have spirit week for homecoming game. I know that most likely does not stop all the bullying in school, but at least the school teachers and students can be more open and hopefully more aware of the signs of bullying.

My granddaughter, age 12, (who has Aspergers Syndrome) saw her friend getting beat up, and not fighting back, by a bully at school. She was the only one who stood up for her friend. She made her way through the circle that formed around the attack. The bully then turned on my granddaughter and attacked her. She did not fight back, but tried to block the punches to her head and face. The school did not contact my daughter about the attack. My granddaughter told her and she has been treated for a concussion ever since (several months). The friend and her parents stopped persuing legal action while my daughter is hanging in there while the bully and her mother have evaded being served and not shown up for court when they finally did get served. Now the bully is sitting in juvenile jail until the next court date. It just goes on and on with no resolution.

We are terrified that our child who also has cerebal palsy is going to be yet bullied again in the school that he is in…Our child is 11 yrs old and has been kicked, spit on, punched and laughed at. We as parents have done EVERYTHING in our power to make it stop but the SCHOOL does not uphold its “No Tolerance” policy. It is overwhelming as he was a new student last year and that has some to do with it I suspect. There are a variety of kids that do this that do not even know each other and I want to know HOW do we make the School take care of this situation..We have been to the Superintendent of schools and even requested a school board meeting and they refused that meeting. What do we do???

I am 80 and still involve with the lives of my grand children and great grand children. Is there a cyber space for this older generation that are on the internet for us to help this cause? Many of us are helping to raise this generation and we need the place to go also to help our children.

Hey Dr. Phil, I’ve got a question. What do you do if the bully is a parent and is always telling their child they cant do anything right (or that they are wrong),or call them a baby. Start fights over things that is not their business??????? PLEASE I need some answers!

Is there any material about adults bullying elementry children? There is an issue in my elementry where adults are bullying children. The principal says its “an issue betweent the parents” and the school does not get involved.

Thank you for doing the show on bullying. Thank you for stating that if one watches someone being bullied you are as guilty as the one doing the bullying. I am 54 years old now but I remember when they tried to bullying me. By the grace of God i was able to handle the bulling in elementary school one year. since that day I refuse to allow bullying. I am not braver than others I just learned that most bullyies are actually scared themselfs and need to pick on someone to prove to themselfs that they are tough. Please continue to bring light to this subject all children are precious. Some are a little heavier my friend Charlie some are frail looking like me. Others are picked on because of they wear glasses, sexual preferance, to black to white, some have big ears others have buck teeth. They are all beautiful and adults have to quit hiding and protect all children. Teach all children to respect everyone and yes we are different but we are more alike than we are different. Please everyone open your eyes and when you see bulling put a stop to it.
