He was ready to go back out and do whatever they were doing in the meeting. <shrug> Well, I guess that's something at least. Thanks for replying so I don't have to wonder.

People are who they are. I make my judgements based on one's character. I will fight for them though when others decide to cause harm because of who they are. I agree. Thank you. (I really thought my post would ignite a firestorm considering how divisive the topic is in the national arena. Comforted that it has not. They are just children. I don't have the answers, but they need emotional support.) Link to post Share on other sites

Of course it has to be righted, for the reasons you articulated, but the question is how to deal with the situation skillfully so that the right thing really happens. (Bully stops bullying, victim feels welcomed and supported by the whole group.) What response were you expecting? Thanks for your reply. I thought there might be a flurry of objection to my compassionate view of things. I don't have the training or answers either, but there has been so much bashing of those least able to defend themselves. Link to post Share on other sites
