This is happening in my hometown and I'm absolutely livid about it:
"The fury began two weeks ago when Council member Virginia Gurrola sought to have placed on the council agenda a suggestion by students from the Burton School District that the city create Safe Zones, a place where those being bullied can go for protection if school is out and there is no other recourse.
Mayor Hamilton said during that debate: “I’m against bullying, but I’m getting damn tired of it being used as a mantra for everything ...when all most people have to do is grow a pair and stick up for them damn selves.”
The worst part is that the majority of my hometown agrees with the mayor!
What's your opinion on bullying? Should people who are being bullied just "grow a pair?" Is that the solution?
