Teen suspended from high school after her anti-bullying video hurts principal's feelings

You don't punish a student for doing nothing wrong just because the wrong doing isn't directed directly at them.

My family moved a lot when I was younger, I went to 7 schools. Perpetually the new kid, perpetually an easy bullying target. Occasionally though, some other kid would try to speak up for me. Whatever other baggage I carry from those days I still remember that clearly. They may not have been able to help directly (likely for fear of being bullied themselves) but I appreciated that someone out there cared enough to notice. I don't even begrudge those that kept quiet, after all who wants their face bashed in too?

So when a child comes up to you to report bullying, pay some fucking attention because this isn't some shit you take lightly.
