Horrormones
I live near a big Grade school that i think goes from primary to gr.9. I am on a top floor of an apt. building and I see all. I am discusted by the lack of monitoring on school property. This is what i see regularily: young boys wrenching young girls by

I know what you’re talking about…I was treated like that in school too. Bicentennial-Hi was the worst school ever! I was regularly sent dirty letters, I had disgusting nick names and felt generally terrified all day…And the reason I didn’t tell anyone…Because the teachers obviously saw alot of this and did nothing…Most of those boys had been held back and were older, bigger and scary…I hope If I bring kids into this world I can afford private school or maybe I’ll home school.
Have you reported this to the pricipal or anyone at all. Not that anything would ever get done about it or not. Just curious. I agree wit you, that is horrible. Guys are generally pigs right from from boyhood.
Get a video camera, film it and present it to the principle
“canine ass” Ha! Ease up a little eh? These are kids not adults so don’t expect them to act like they are. You’ve obviously got a problem with guys/males/whatever that’s driving your issue because if there was something truly terrible happening then I’m assuming you’d be the first one to report it. Sounds like someone needs to handle their own problems first.
Sorry “kids are kids” but it is true, this is what you see in Jr. High playgrounds and it’s only getting worse. Boys can’t handle their aggression, they take it out on the girls. No wonder with what they see on TV?! They physically threaten them, tell them they’re going to rape them, all kinds of crazy things. Girls do not have the self confidence to act against them and they don’t have the physical strength to whip their butts. Where are the teachers? Well they are taking their breaks, they are not paid to supervise these kids on playgrounds. Schools are not safe during recess. When I was a young girl this happened to me several times until I learned that the best way to deal with it was to let a guy pin me up to a building so I could knee him in the balls. Worked every time.
Well, I don’t buy it as being such a terrible things to be a girl at a school > grade 9 these days. Every generation of parents seems to think that the world is ending due to music/TV/games/etc that they don’t understand and that kids are going to hell and a handbasket. This seems just like more of the same “conventional knowledge” talking.Now if there’s a truly serious issue happening then it needs dealing with but kids do not have adult minds and do act differently. Why do you think so many boys end up with black eyes at 12 years old but not at 25? Desireable? Perhaps not. Truly harmful? Not really. I’m not a fan of a lot of the crap music/gangsta garbage and yes, it is sad that kids may emulate this shite but both boys and girls often do. Of course, we could always bring back the strap. I would bet that would be the quickest and probably least harmful way to end these issues.
hey kids are kids if you dont think 13 yr old girls being sexually harrassed/assalted at school is a serious problem then you definitly have problems.
yeah, great advice popeye.Your telling them to videotape at the school. That will go over well. Then they will think they are a pervert who likes to tape kids. All you have to do is bring it to the schools attention and then they will take care of it. No school wants a bad reputation.
Kids are kids?! Obviously you were one of those boys. Well I’ll correct your insanity because I was one of those girls. It leaves a scar, it’s disgusting and there’s absolutely no way any self-respecting young boy (or child, person, whatever) should behave that way. We’re teaching the children that it’s okay to damage others physically and mentally?? Especially women? Women who take care of your ass and push all emption deep down and strive to make you and your bratty kids happy? Because it’s expected of them? Get a clue: the kids would be happy if mom was. That’s the kind of women who think it’s normal, the kind who were told all their lives that ‘boys will be boys’. No wonder kids and families are getting more and more fucked up. No wonder there is more crime and hate in the world every year. Do some of you just have no conscience? Do you just care about nothing else but what benefits yourself? How can you live like that and be happy? You sicken me still.
Oh and the reason why kids know it’s useless to say anything about it: Old farting assholes who think that it’s just ‘kids being kids’ and refuse to acknowledge the complaint. Make ya feel pretty stupid, vulnerable, like they think you’re lying to cause trouble and like they just don’t give a shit. When you’re already feeling scared, depressed, can’t sleep because of insomnia, have anxiety and skip school to avoid the boys in question. I used to hang out in the girl’s washroom after I got to school.
kids are kids as longs as they not taught any difference. It’s not exceptable for a person to put their hands on another person without invitation…and sometimes even with invitation. Oblivous to this type behavior is like omission of the truth, it may not be obvious but it is still wrong!
Whaddya expect when the dress code for girls (and women, for that matter) these days is prostitute/whore. I guess girls aren’t really smarter than boys. If they were, they wouldn’t be so surprised at the reaction to their ‘sex for sale’ chic.
i think the reason why many adults do nothing is fear, if children r taught that the shit they see on tv is acting selling advertising and that they will end up in prison if they act like that then they might stop, i really don’t know what 2 say, we need to nuture children from the time they r conceived with love and healthy food, i think people don’t realize how imoprtant the food we feed children is to their brain development, there is much poisonous, cheap, mass-produced artificial shit on the market today, cannabis can help
Why don’t you walk up to the big bad boys who are sexually harrassing the jailbait chicks who think that they are women and mace them in the face saying “Back off, I am woman, hear me roar!”So far all you are doing is watching the problem and sitting on your duff probably touching yourself out of frustration. Why don’t you, I don’t know, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?If it is so much of a problem talk to parents about the little monsters that they raised. If they defend their children punch them on their throat in front of the little shit to let them know that their parent is weak and thus they are nothing. Once you crush the spirit and make them feel worthless then you can condition them to be the person you think is acceptible.That way you are actually proactive instead of the useless twat spectator that you are now
gimpysaviour once again wastes our time with offensive bullsmack, why don’t u wait until u have something useful/intelligent to say b4 u submit something here, the only 1 who looks at u @ a hero is u, boo hoo
I did offer usefull advice, but you were probably ragging too much to actually read.In any event you and the original poster are idiots.
yes, i didn’t read what u typed, i just decided 2 pretend i did, u really r an idiotbtw, your sarcasm is neither humorous nor constructive, if u ever mature u will realize this
Your argument would carry more weight if you took the extra fourty miliseconds to actually type out a properly constructed sentence. As it stands attempting to read your gibberish further cements in my heart that you are and will forever be a moron.Have a nice day
gibberish?, ill b happy 2 expalin anything ur small mind cant decodeif u want to waste ur time trying 2 appear intelligent with perfect grammer & puncuation that’s ur ego issue, im 4 making the most of my time, this is the internet, this is what people doin waiting…..
Yeeeaaahh…..ok. Some of you are obviously a weee bit sensitive on the topic but you can’t seriously believe that a few embarassing moments as a child screwed up your adult life…..or maybe you can. Either way, it sounds like s typical whining excuse. Take responsibility for your life and stop blaming some “tragic walk in the playground” for everything.And on the topic at hand, look, if something is serious then it needs to be addressed as I said. Poof – problem solved. But my Gad you bunch of idiots……sticking cameras on playgrounds, maybe expelling kids that “lay their hands on another person”, I mean get your head around the fact that this is not a company office we’re talking about here! I am all for well behaved kids and yeah, they need to be controlled but on the other hand, children do not have either the capacity or concern to understand or act upon issues as adults do so they need to be handled differently or the cure can becomse worse than the problem.Truth be told, it sounds like you’re basically a bunch of male hating women with deep personal issues causing you to take it out even on young boys. Well here’s some free info – no one cares but your wicca circle! No one is advocating assaults here but you bunch of “earth mothers” need to get a life and deal with your own issues.
wow, ur really fuked up
Yeah, logic and reason when dealing with a possible problem instead of emotional baggage and reactionary bashing is just so f*cked up.
u think this, your 3rd paragraph ‘Truth be told, it sounds like you’re basically a bunch of male hating women with deep personal issues causing you to take it out even on young boys. Well here’s some free info – no one cares but your wicca circle! No one is advocating assaults here but you bunch of “earth mothers” need to get a life and deal with your own issues.’ is using logic and reason?i was right, u r fuked up
Yep, you’re right again.Let’s throw all these kids (sorry just boys) out of school on their butts because of the traumatised ramblings of a few adult women who never got over the “life changing” events of the 7th grade playground?!? Gimme a break.Acting on crap like that is emotion based garbage not constructive policy.
kids r kids, i suspect that you are some 25 yr old “man” of the “now” generation! I certaintly don’t hate men! Baby- I love them. the ones who understand the learning process begins from the moment we enter the world. Consquences to Actions- maybe we are not ALL suggesting that these children be video taped- but to appropriately being repromanded when there is something INAPPROPRIATELY being done
think about it…great, I don’t hate women either *wink*Where did I say anything about there being no consequences for serious problems? I am not advocating a lawless environment nor have I said that actual problem behavior not be addressed.What I have been saying is that logic must rule in situations of punishment rather than mindless emotions and “you go girl” attitudes from women that seem to have many personal issues leading them to advocate hardline responses. That’s not justice, that’s personal revenge against children and it’s wrong.
ok – point taken! I do also care abou tht the future generations as well and after going back to read your original comment – i can see that in essence you are not saying anything too general. people have a tenancy too react w/ emotion when they believe an important point is being over looked esspecially when it comes to children! Sounds like we are just arguing now just for the sake…so I’am done
