LOL! Yeah... when it comes to my kids, I really AM savage - they know it too ;)
I never wanted my kids to go through what I went through - or feel like there was no support (like I felt).
I'll write a few more pieces about bullying... and you may even see that post... the one where I describe what happened to me. :)
I'll look for that post (in the morning, when I'm not running on fumes). Honestly, outright denying the existence of bullying in the school sounds terrible, and scary even. Lack of support and lack of... well, of people believing your tales of suffering at the hands of others can be terrible, especially as a kid.
Also: Being savage when it comes to kids is 100% justified, hahaha!
