My soapbox today. Bullying was not invented at Randy Hughes McAlester High School. It is at all levels at McAlester and throughout Pittsburg county. Many children I know have been bullied in all grades. Yes children are scared but they lose part of their self esteem with every world. What we call bullies have no sympathy for others. They see a weak spot and pound it in. The bullies don’t know what their actions do to others. They have no self respect, have problems receiving love. They don’t know give to love. I can go on being bullied myself. Love on your kids teacher them to sympathy for others. To realize the child being bullied has weak spots and not use them as a weapon. All parents be involved with your children. Watch their behaviors. I would hate to see a child die to being bullied. Love one another, teachers, parents and kids.
