So I was reading an article that made me /palm.
An Accident and Emergency nurse gets a call from her teenage daughter's school that she needs to go to school. She's told she really does need to go cause her daughter hit somebody. She gets an extremely snarky comment from the teacher or Principal about it's nice for her to finally meet with them (school, her daughter, the person she hit and that person's parents).
Teacher or principal stutter about when she tells them that OF COURSE SHE SHOULD TOTALLY DROP EVERYTHING while she STITCHES UP A BOY'S FACE (40 stitches) cause he was beat by his mom and TALKING TO THE POLICE!
What went down according to administrators: The other person, a young man, had snapped the daughter's bra several times. The daughter punched him twice in the face.
Mom's reaction is: So you want to know if I'll press sexual assault charges.
Administration: WHAT NO IT'S NOT THAT BAD. BUT LOOK SHE PUNCHED HIM!
Daughter details what happens: He snapped my bra several times. I asked him to stop. He didn't. I told the teacher and he told me to ignore it. When he did it again, he undid my bra so I punched him. Twice. He stopped.
Mom is understandably upset. Teacher did squat. She gives him several examples of things that he could do that are equal with what the boy did. The mom could undo his pants! The teacher should totally undo the Principal's bra. Or the boy's mom's.
But what is the administration's reaction? BUT MOM YOUR DAUGHTER HIT HIM!
All the glares in the world. I'm sure.
It's the same reaction with young people being bullied. You put up with it but you don't -deal- with it. Just take the licks.
Hey it's just a bra. You say no? No means yes! Keep on going! It's not like it's serious when someone tells you they don't want you doing something to their person.
