Parents sue school after bullied son commits suicide


Story: Parents sue school after bullied son commits suicide

When we allow video games to raise children into believing that there are no consequences to bullying, this is what happens. Teachers are even guilty of picking on kids, we all know that. And at a school of less than 300 students, EVERYONE knows when it's going on. Does this mean that not one person took it upon themselves to create a comfortable environment for this boy? Hmm, makes you think.

No, this kind of thing has been happening forever.

Have you even played the game?

The game was used to illustrate the point that bullying has become accepted as part of pop culture. Yes, picking on other students has been happening forever. But in my recollection of "forever," I don't recall children jumping on turtles because Super Mario did. And I don't think Donkey Kong ever encouraged kids to beat up their classmates.
