The bus driver was out of line. She is supposed to be an adult in the situation, but it is better that it happened like that rather than with out supervision. She obviously had dealt with the situation before and knew how it would end.

I think kids are babied way to much these days and that’s a huge part of our children not having any leadership qualities. No one is pushed, and as soon as someone does something they are punished. This generation is falling behind quickly.

CatLadyLarew — Absolutely. If you can’t count on an adult to help you, who can you count on?

Lin — That’s so sad, Lin. I’m afraid it’s because of that “Well, I was bullied and survived” mentality. It doesn’t make it right.

Michelle — I didn’t like it either, but being a girl, I was spared. All my hell happened at school anyway.

tcc — Good grief, that’s bad! I always felt bad for the lightweight kids. They really don’t stand a chance unless they get in with a good crowd who’ll protect them.

John J Savo — You’re one of the lucky ones.

grannyann — So happy to hear that after reading so many sad comments.

JP — Ugh. Sorry. I hated the locker room, even for a girl it was a stressful situation.

meleah rebeccah — Gotta do what you gotta do.

Karen — You’re lucky. And, yes, I feel like at least she made a bad situation a little better. But she could have stopped the whole thing before it started. I mean, who’s the adult here?

Marg — I walked to grade school and loved it. Yeah, I think that the first time a parent caught wind of the hazing, that would be the end of it.

Data Entry Lady — Yes, that’s the problem. Nothing would get done unless a kid spoke up, and then who wants to speak up because then they’d get beat up more! No-win situation.

Diane — Oh, God, I hope not.

Linda — But there’s still probably a pecking order of some type. The older kids always pick on the younger.

Anne Israeli mom — Absolutely. And I don’t even want to know what they are.

Brian H — Unfortunately not. It’s a stupid rite of passage, I suppose.

Buggys — I was always amazed, too. If I was an adult when it happened, things would be different. I wish I could turn back time and change it.

Jeff — My dad has played that tired punchline his whole life. You are the first person I’ve met where it was actually true! So, yeah, you never got bullied on the bus, but then there’s that whole swimming naked thing. That pretty much trumps everything.

what to do — And that’s how the cycle continues….

Lisa Alterity — I’m one of those people who never had enough friends to care about seeing 25 years later. I went to my 5th and it was kind of “meh.” So I never went back. Go only if you really want to see your former classmates. Otherwise, go do something fun for yourself!

Nezzy — Do you mean they rolled the freshman down the hall? God, I hope not.

Sniffie and the Florida Furkids — Oh, see, now that sign is a cute idea. And no one gets hurt!

Ann — Good to see you here! Yeah, I think any driver who did that now would get the heave-ho.

I know that’s a tired punchline, but in my case it’s true. I literally had to walk up a huge hill and down the other side to get to school. That meant both ways.
