Wow this is appalling: Students make Bus Monitor cry

She showed them more grace and forgiveness than they showed her. I hope they learn from her.

Yes she did. Amazing how they are now crumbing under the weight of bullying.


BTW, they made fun of her bag, I wondering if Torreliini? or whoever designed it will send her their top of the line bag, or she can now go buy a designer bag with her donation money. Don't ya just love it?!

as far as charges go though it's depressing to see I don't think CRIMINAL charges are needed. this can be handled without that. I would love to see these boys if the woman has a home have to cut her grass for a year or wash windows and do chores for her. this should be handled by the school and the parents and no one else. No need to go over board and have cops involved that would certainly be a knee jerk reaction and in all honesty these are kids and kids make really dumb mistakes......

I agree with you. Great suggestions. This was perhaps the best thing that could happened to them and spared future victims and given them a huge reality check. (and best thing for her in a way, too --- as a grandmother of 8, she can maybe fund her g/k's future educations where they can become better examples of our future generation).

Just a note: I remember in high school even in Australia, there were kids just like this. This despicable behavior is not new.

yes, all kids can be arseholes....FACT

i think it comes down to parenting though. my kids are scared of me. i'm not their friend, i'm their mother. they love me and they know i love them, but lord do they fear me. i think parents these days have lost that healthy dose of being a parent and having your child fear you, it's all about being their friend now. i'm happy that i scare the crap out of my kids and their friends.

I still don't think you can blame it entirely on parenting, though. Kids can do awful things with the influence of group mentality or peer pressure, or just believing there won't be any consequences. Kids who are otherwise usually nice enough can become mean and nasty in the wrong circumstances. My parents raised me incredibly well, but I have been mean to other kids in my childhood (not to an extent like this, but to a certain degree).

Kids (and adults for that matter) are capable of anything when it comes to wanting to fit in and be accepted, or be "cool", which is what this is really about.

Big Co-Sign on this post. The wife and I joke and have fun with our kids, but at the end of the day no matter what they are always scared to death of what we will say,think and do to them if they do anything that they know we do not approve of. We're the best parents in their eyes when we do things for and with them, but we become the most evil parents in all of creation to them (more so with our daughter) if/when they get into trouble and they get disciplined.

Yes, teen peer-pressure can be insane. Always has been! Many parents are in the dark. I got the feeling the Asian boy who kept hitting and swatting her might cop it from his parents, lol.

My parents also raised me real well, yet I have too said some mean things as a student, but it was always one-on-one, tit-for-tat, never a gang-up like this here. I mean, to taunt her as she cried - and an adult at that? Sheeit...I'd never dare. (In fact, the times I've seen someone being physically bullied, I've stepped in-between).

* I do get the feeling though that these kids in the vid are mean girls/guys to everyone all the time, rather than nice and then suddenly turn mean.

Man, absolutely zero chill


but that's the typical interweb trolling culture, unfortunately.

Those two things, yep

"Hey gaiz, lets go troll that bus monitor. It'll be heeelarious, hur durr"

That seems to be the trend from what I've noticed at least where we live. Kids do indeed do stupid things they know they shouldn't to fit in with peers but there seems to now be little cliques of kids who are shits to everyone just because. And most of the time the parents are shits themselves (at least the ones here) either the really snobby types or the ghetto minded don't give a fuck types.
