Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, the 3 girls who have continuously bullied me for the past 3 years gave a class presentation on why bullying is so terrible. Judging from our teacher's comments, they're going to get top marks. FML

Today, I gave a presentation about how teachers don't intervene enough when students are being bullied. Afterwards, I was practically bullied by my teacher for "not choosing a serious topic." FML

Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML

Today, my teacher called a friend and me out of class and told us we had been reported for plagiarism because our answers to a problem were nearly identical, and he said that I shouldn't have shared my work. This for an assignment where significant marks were awarded for collaborating with peers. FML

Rotation
Today, I found out that my classmates hate me so much that they have a seating arrangement where people have to sit next to me on a rotating basis. A fight broke out yesterday because someone tried to skip their turn. FML

Today, I had to attend a meeting with my parents, my teacher, and my bully and his parents. When we started, my bully "broke down" and "tearfully" told the teacher that I was the one bullying him, and that he was getting blamed to cover it all up. They believed him. FML

When I got bullied it would have been nice to someone stand up for me so I see the point in making everyone, includind the bystanders, to write about it.

Because the real punishment comes when the rest of them take care of it by taking it out on the bully. It sends a message to others that they will be punished if they do it themselves and it means they’ll take care of the problem internally without the teacher having to do it themselves. The military does this too. However, since they sink of swim together, next time someone bullies someone, they’ll intervene. Without this, you get people who grow up to be teachers who insist it’s not their responsibility nor their purpose to deal with bullying. Like they currently do.

Is that a trick to discover who the bullies are? "Hi, I read your 2000-word essay, and it seems that you're making fun of your bullied classmate. How about a nice chat with the principal and the school psychologist?"
