Our daughter got suspended for fighting last year. She's the smallest kid in her class (just look at her parents, lol) and I supported it because the teachers couldn't get a straight story. This year she left campuss and was suspended for leaving school property. I was absolutely floored. She had just finished a two month grounding for grades and flipant attitude. I had gotten a letter from every one of her teachers saying she was pleasant and had made a 180 degree turn for the better so her grounding was cut short. Her grounding KILLED her. Us too because we felt bad for her, but also when you ground them, your kinda grounding yourselves too. Gotta be home with them. SHe was sooooo bored. I had cut the cords to her computer, TV and stereo. Physicaly cut the cords.
Anyway a week after she gets ungrounded she gets seen across the street of the school. I couldnt' believe it. Even GTAHVIT was wowed when I told him becasue he was in the know the whole time. I hated her being grounded all that time and wanted to know what possesed her to do something so stupid as to skip class and leave school grounds.
Turns out she was being challenged by another student. Now because of the previous fight, and the fact that she knew I'd flip out if she were to get in trouble again, she decided to just remove herself from the situation. If she fights the girl, she gets in trouble. If she tells the teacher, it's twice as bad with her peers. If she tells me, I flip out. This particular girl got EXPELLED the following week. For........... YUP...... fighting. She was a bully. It was her FOURTH fight THIS YEAR.
So you see. Kids can't defend themselves against these bullies or they are F***ed either way.
Hits home with me.
I grounded her for two weeks because I had to. My point to her was no matter what, you have to follow the rules. But it gets hard when the system sends a different message than you teach them.
