- A teacher who spent 25 years at the Clark County School District before retiring at the start of the year claims the district isn’t doing enough to address bullying.
Schools always say we do not tolerate bullying and when someone gets bullied they have blind eyes
They absolutely tolerate it and promote it.
At the elementary level, school admins will often brush it off as the bully doesn't know how to communicate. As a parent, it's a stressful fight but when the district does properly address bullying it can be life-changing for the victim and the bully alike.
The adults are more scared of the bullies than the victims.
True
The parents of the bullies are the reason for this kids to be so bad
Schools couldnt care less about bullying. You're seen as a villain if you defend yourself
A 10 YEAR OLD BOY RECENTLY KILLED HIMSELF BECAUSE HE WAS BEING BULLIED EVERY SINGLE DAY INCLUDING ON THE BUS AND SENDING MESSAGE’S WHEN A 10 YEAR OLD CHILD IS BULLIED SO MUCH THAT HE KILLS HIMSELF SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG IN THE SCHOOL’S AND ELSEWHERE ‼️
His best friend was also bullied too
Don't forget the older siblings allowing the bully to call on the weekends and talk smack. quote from his older brother interview
Crazy how some states let the youth dictate repercussions.
Bullying should be classified as a Hate Crime. After all, it is hate that fuels this behavior.
You would make MAGA face prison..
I had a nervous breakdown and had to leave school because of the bullying and that was in the 90’s. It’s worse today
Tbh I thought bullying was a pre-2000s high school thing. Didn't know it was still a major issue, most kids now are too busy staring at their phones to worry about others
Just like she said...the bully gets punished and comes back mad that they got in trouble blaming the victim. Same thing happened to me. He got himself in trouble by harassing me. Blamed me. Booed me at graduation, nobody did anything. They all could hear it. There has never been and never will be any accountability. and the fact that the teacher isn't allowed to do anything? How about " I will not tolerate this in my classroom. If it keeps up you will have to go to the office" Like seriously?
You've got 4 options: Enroll your children in a quality martial arts program (if it's a solid program, it does wonders!), pull them out and enroll them in a different private or parochial school (bullying still happens but usually less so), home school them, or find an accredited online school. These schools are ridiculous and really don't care. It's every child for him or herself.
It was like that for my entire academic career. And even now.
My condolences to the family ❤
Critical thinking helps people to make better decisions. Maybe teach it?
😢everyone has a phone. Everyone has internet. Everyone has social media😢. Middle and junior high are the worst. This one girl killed herself because of bullying and the bullies went after the family after she was dead. They were that heartless 😢😢
My best friend from high school was bullied

There needs to be federal anti bullying laws passed that classifies bullying as a hate crime or something similar to protect kids and teens. Bullying could be the first sign of a lot of red flags in someone (being emotionally, physically and/or sexually abused by parents/ care takers, Anti Social Personality Disorder, bullying or harming animals, etc...) It's insane so many school districts look the other way at this.
Crim crimz *always* have more rights than ethical, compassionate people. After all, ethics and honor are considered to be WEAK. Weakness is not permitted by society. Might is right; health is wealth.
Some bullies will have other's to bully one person. Especially when they know someone can beat them in a fight they will use thier friends to outnumber you because thier cowards and do sneaky things when the teachers aren't watching or when they leave the room.
It's not just in nv
This is an issue everywhere
Will bullying decrease if parents(who can 1 day a week) volunteer to sit in a class
I would suggest cameras but they'll just find dead zones
Not if the room has 4 corners and a camera in each corner. But they should have parents there so they can witness everything themselves. I have a 14 year old nephew that threatened to bring a gun to school. I'm pretty sure he's being picked on. It doesn't help that his mom spends most of her time just yelling at him, his father that doesn't really care and his grandparents that pretty much just spoil him. I'm just the uncle and I try to talk to him and help him but my family discourages that and says I should just be the "cool" uncle. 🙄
Why do people got to hurt others and make others miserable?
Also, it is pathetic that if you defend yourself against a bully and fight back, you get suspended for fighting. You should be able to defend yourself from harm!
Schools need to realize that they should allow students to defend themselves from bullies!
Who are the parents of the kids that are bullying other kids??? If the school won’t do anything, you need to go to the parents.
I agree ,see these bullies outside of they're habitat school.
Parents need to find the parents of the bully & handle this situation since CCSD does nothing!
Yeah but sometimes the parents are as bad as the kids. Our neighborhood bullys' parents were so nasty. They didn't care at all and said nasty things.
what do you mean u cant get your kid out of this shit whole
Parents, if your child is bullied go to the director for your child's school at the district office. File a police report too on all incidents with the officer for your child's school with the local PD. Tell the district your child is being 'harassed,' 'assaulted,' and/or 'abused.' Those are key words! If they do not make big moves at that, take the police report to a lawyer and file charges against the district. The #1 responsibility of a public school is child safety. #2 is education. In these situations, the districts are often not helping the victim or the bully. Don't forget the bullies are likely in a situation that's causing them to bully and they are victims too
Use the thing they fear the most: A LAWSUIT.
another reason that I'm glad I never want kids
I agree, but sometimes having fun and this happens. So you either need to join the battle or bow out like deadbeat egg/sperm donors do.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. While you wouldn't have to deal with this in your home or family, these kids grow up and get jobs. You will encounter adults who were bullied and bullies. Those bullies may be taking care of you someday when you get sick or are elderly. Even child-free adults should be contributing to a community where victims and bullies alike get the care they need to become decent adults. You don't live in this world alone.
Teachers pov:
Sees student bully an innocent victim: I’ll pretend I didn’t see that.
Sees student wearing a hat in school: Wait! That’s illegal.
Corporate groomers who pay school districts intentionally set it this way so you're more likely to have the mentally or emotionally broken labor they value so much.
Get your kids out of the sewer pipe a.k.a. the public schools. There are options. It may be inconvenient and costly, but your child is worth it. 🙏
Maybe, maybe not.
Life is one big public school. It’s up to parents to steer their kids in the right direction and discipline your kids at home. Or else the law will. Simple as that.
When I lived in North Carolina, my parents decided to enroll me in a private school about 30 mins away from home because they heard that the public middle school in my county had a history of violence. Private school wasn’t exactly paradise, either, but I am grateful they decided to keep me away from a facility where a kid allegedly got stabbed in the bathroom.
Bullies are everywhere. Private school doesn't make a difference.
Just homeschool the kids.
At Von Tobel Middle school (bullying up at 59%) if you try to complain about the bullies, or try to press charges for assault by bullies they turn around and say well we have press charges on your kid for defending themselves also. But get this one. The school police makes threatening body language, and threatening conversations all for asking to see the video. Why won't the school let me see the video of the entrance to the bathroom from the classroom where the incident happened. All to "whitewash" the situation. How if I as a parent set up a meeting to discuss the situation, and you give me a time and date, I arrive but you have me waiting for you to speak to the mother of the kid that is one of the bullies first. Like it was no big deal... I won't forget that one Von Tobel. I won't forget the school CC school district board members not returning phone calls, when I tried to use the ladder to complain and address the situation. I would have not known what to do to contact the School district if it where not out of concern for a decent human being adult there that knew about the situation. To the school district police officer, you did that in front of witnesses, that worked in the office and in front of my mother and family. I had to end the conversation, and go stand along the wall because I clearly felt threatened.
As of this writing maybe there was some sort of personal relationship with that kid and the school. I was thinking this whole time that the school didn't want a bad name. There are good police out there though we all know that there are bad ones. One more thing for the CCSD officer. YOU ARE A 'BULLY' TOO!!! My kid went out of his way to go to a different school magnet program. That school "Western" was crappy too with all the fights, and gang activities I feel sorry for that girl. I sent 4 kids to Von Tobel, and would always be up there if there was any situation. The Vice Principle left and was not there at the time of this incident. I had decent communication with him too. Shame!! CCSDPD I hope you see this. You have some bullies. You probably already know.
Is part of the problem with schools that they receive money for each student in attendance per day? If a bully is suspended, that money isn't received for those days.
Bullying effects you long after you leave the schools and become an adult.I was bullied for years by several people especially in middle and highschool and it took a toll on my life.
Parents need to take action and confront the other parents child. Have a dialogue as adults. If that don’t work then they can settle it with fists
Parents dont aee school as achool anymore they see it as free daycare to drop their monsters at
My granddaughter is being bullied at her school this kids are mean
I would have liked to have heard the retired teachers opinion on solutions to the bullying issue. She would at least have had an informed opinion.
Yea I have already decided that if that happens to my kid I am showing up to lunch and showing them what crazy looks like! Don’t care if I go to jail for it! I would rather be in jail with my kids alive than have to do an interview like this because something happened to them!
They know this full well and revel in it.
The world is filled with psychopaths.
I had to deal with bullies of my kids who repeatedly played the victim and got school admin all confused. And their parents were the worst ones encouraging the behavior.
I nearly walked out of school twice because of the bullying at my high school in the early 1990's no education in the world is worth the greath the bullies cause.
Know how bullies live with themselves? They dehumanize they victims. They figure the victim has no feelings and problems of their own. Bullying is a LEARNED behavior
My bullies stopped when I fought back
Bullies raise bullies, that's the problem. And the schools don't care to deal with the bad parents.
In my opinion..Arent the school disctrict has the responsibilites to warn students if you come here to bully other students then you wont be welcome to the gate your expelled. Like i know some of my classmates back in the day just comes to school not to learn but to bully somebody. Its toxic.
Bullying has changed a lot since the 90's and 2000's/early 2010's. The reality of the situation is the School Districts all across the country have become more fearful of school bullies, than the victims. They refuse to do anything to save the person from being bullied and would rather focus on just doing their job. Things have gotten so much for violent during the past 5 years, with people being allowed to carry guns in public. Bullies get reported, they get even more angrier, they get a hold of their parent's guns, and they get away with it. Hell, these days even the parents go down to the school to start trouble. Bullies become parents later on in life, they pass that trait down to their own kids and the cycle continues with another generation.
I think the reason schools turn a blind eye and punish the victims when they stand up is because deep down, the higher ups and some teachers enjoy it. If a kid is being harassed for their looks, then the faculty agrees they’re a hideous “thing” that should be punished. When a kid is treated like dirt for not having much family, then the schools also values the rich and finds the poor disgusting. I can go on.
2:09 oh my, these kids are crying for help. Seriously. Fix this CCSD! Its on you.
They think...?
There was a time when a student would have been asked to leave the school!
They also implement zero tolerance policies of suspending both the bully and the victim trying to defend hinself
This can be preventable -- give bullies MUCH bigger consequences and mandatory counseling. Involve their parents, are THEY part of the problem? Something has to change. Too many young people need protection and aren't getting it. Unacceptable. I am often checking in with my kids and asking how things are going with other kids at school. We discuss bullying, what they can do if it happened to them, who they can trust to talk to, and never keep it to yourself!!! If you speak up for yourself and things don't change, tell me, and believe me I will handle the situation LOUDLY.
By the way, this isn't just an issue at schools. My friend who homeschools was just telling me her son kept getting bullied at Christian camp, so she had to stop sending him. No one at camp batted an eye. This to me is appalling!
I never attended middle school, I went to a private K-8th grade school set up. Children were separated by age, so the 5th-8th graders were on the same floor. Despite that, I never felt like bullying was out of control or beyond the capacity of the teachers or principals. There was some bullying and cattiness as is common with middle schoolers, but nothing I couldn't handle and deal with. Even the most bullied girl in our class is doing well today because there was some modicum of control.
I think the worst thing we ever did was creating a separate middle school set up. We should either combine these schools with elementary or high school. High school would be better as these kids will have some modicum of fear from the older kids to control them. Kids this age are, by default, arrogant and entitled. The power trip that goes on their heads is insane. They need a healthy level of fear of their authority figures and elders. Bullies need to understand that they are not in control of the situation.
Take your children out of public schools. Abeka has a good program. There are many others. Don't force your children to spend 8 hours a day with bullies. I'm sorry for your loss.
The bullies don't get punished. The students being bullied and defending themselves are the ones who get punished, even though the bully is well known.
My grandson missed his junior prom because he defended himself from a bully and was punished. He had his suit, she had her dress, and they were ready to go.
The next year Covid hit, so he never got to go to prom, or his graduation.
Nothing much ever happens to the bully, they get sympathy because they are "dealing with something", so they just keep doing it.
Everything is backwards.
Why didn't you move? Or teach your child to defend itself? This death is senseless. It's your responsibility to protect your children and to teach them how to defend themselves.

Twice I posted my opinion in a civilized manner and twice YT has taken it down. I have a list of those who should be charged when it comes to bullying.
Lord of the flys
don't live in the north side
why everyone crying? parents and school; employees encourage bulling
You can blame it all on rap music.
No. You sound like a "satanic panic" 80s godpuppet parent screaming about Metal music, Dungeons and Dragons, "choose your own adventure" books, etc...
I blame it on absent suburban parents too busy chasing the almighty dollar hiding away in their careers...
We used to have "stay-at-home" parents.
Yep and we'll never do anything about it.
To be honest the problem is these queer teachers.. regular people aren’t choosing to teach anymore!
They are not the problem! The problem is schools aren't listening to victims of bullying and parents aren't talking to their kids about bullying and its consequences! That's the real problem here!
And what do you mean by "regular people?" Are you trying to say that queer people aren't normal?
@@victoria8838 I think that's what he is trying to say.
I used to get bullied at school . This isn't a new problem 😅 just teach your kids to speak up and not take sh*t lucky for me I was from LA and that tactic. Only worked so long before I was like dude your not that tough . If you want my money your going to have to take it from me....
Left me alone after that. Society is spinless we low-key need bullies to make us toughen up at times. Solve the problem though take your kid to self defense classes . My self defense class was the street.
