Is your school in denial? In this youtube video A Chillicothe mother is out for justice after her gay son is brutally beaten in at Union-Scioto High School, in front of his classmates by another student. One student recorded the incident on a cell phone. If bullying is, indeed, an issue, then I say you take the denial personally ---as if you do, you may be saving some poor kid a good beating, like the boy in this video.

New research suggests children who feel they don't spend enough time with their parents are likely to become bullies. This seems true if fathers work long hours but the same doesn't hold true for lack of time with mothers.
