Day 3

During second period, my teacher was being freakishly nice. He scared me and my friend half-to-death. Other than that my day went fine; no bullying, nobody too nice.

Day 2

Most of the day was fine nothing happened for like four periods. Then during fifth period two girls were being unusually nice to me... CREEPY!!! Then during eighth period, (unnamed) called me Kat Cauliflower. Talk about MEAN!!! LOL!!! The teacher helped me again though, and told (unnamed) to shut up. (unnamed) tried to defend himself but failed miserably. That just so happened to be my day.

Day 1

“Bullying”
To Whom It May Concern:
I am a 13 year old girl attending school at the Red Oak Middle School in Red Oak, Iowa. I used to like school, but now beg my parents to stay home almost every day. I thought when the government passed bullying laws things would change, but they haven’t. I hate school now. People call me stupid (which I am NOT), and weird and various other things. If I say or do something back I am the one that gets in trouble from the school, despite the fact that I have complained repeatedly about the bullying. Nothing ever happens to the bullies. My mom keeps me home as much as she can, but says I have to go to school most days. If she keeps me home, the school demands to know why (which she says isn’t really any of their business, I’m HER daughter, not theirs), so she doesn’t do it as much as she would like to. She doesn’t like this anymore than I do, especially since she was bullied in school as a child, too. There have been studies done about how bullying affects children. Why, then, is the entire Red Oak school district choosing to ignore this problem? No wonder they have a failing grade when it comes to overall school performance. My mom wonders how they can teach me anything when they’re failing. We will be moving out of the state in September. It can’t come fast enough for me; maybe I can go to a school that I actually enjoy again. When are the schools going to start obeying the laws about bullying? Aren’t we all supposed to obey laws? Or should I just keep this to myself and live with it? There are plenty of other kids in my school who go through this daily as well. Sincerely, Kat Colabello

Day 1: no real bullying... good day today. So-and-so replied to my mothers comment on WOWT but the comment was deleted. (unnamed same person) had a short dialoge with me and it went like this:
Person- How are you bullied? I've never seen you get bullied.
Me: Maybe it's because you don't hang around me. You and (unnamed) bully me. should I go on with names?
Person: Yes.
Me: Well there's-
Teacher: SHUT UP (unnamed)!
end of dialog and day.
