Bullying is never the answer.
If you haven't already seen this video. Please watch it, if it's too hard for you to watch read this article instead.
I cannot believe what these kids did to this poor bus monitor, she is only there to do a job. Her job is not to be abused by these complete arseholes. Bullying is never an answer and it doesn't matter if your 15 or 50, it still hurts just as bad. If you've ever been bullied you will know how much is does actually hurt.
I myself do know what it is like, from a very young age I was picked on and bullied. To the extend that I now have no trust in people, no self confidence and bullying nearly pushed me over the edge. People may say that bullying makes you tougher, that everyone should experience it. Hell no! It's not the bullying that makes you tough at all. It's the people around you that help.
This woman, Mrs Klein had plenty of mean things said to her. One kid shouted: "You don't have a family because they all killed themselves because they don't want to be near you." What these kids didn't know is that Mrs Klein's oldest son killed himself ten years ago.
Ever since this video was released on youtube it's went viral. Donations for Karen Klein have poured into the crowd-funding site indiegogo.com. It went so viral that it at one point crashed the server. The money is going towards a retirement fund so she doesn't have to deal with people like this. The total as of writing this post was $567,673. Now for her it's a happy ending. For most people it is not. Most people tend to end up being massively effected resulting in a life full of problems, or evening getting to a point of killing themselves.
Now I know this post isn't going to change the world. But I thought I'd make my opinions known. If you would like to donate to Karen please go to http://www.indiegogo.com/loveforkarenhklein.
Thank you.
