How...Megan, I think the YAAAB is an excellent idea. However, as a reader of Rowling's HP series I found it disturbing that much of her final book, Deathly Hallows, appeared to condone/excuse bullying and manipulative behavior as long as it was done by "heroic" characters such as James, Sirius, Dumbledore, and Harry himself. I was a designated HP expert at the Borders where I worked until retirement, and have discussed this issue extensively on blogs with other adult HP fans who are concerned about what lessons some kids may have taken away from DH. <br /><br />The Prince case, as you know, just became even more horrific, if possible, with SLATE publishing a character attack on the victim, apparently aimed at mitigating the behavior of the bullies and school officials. Most disturbing is that the SLATE piece's author obviously expected to find an audience receptive to the implication that Phoebie "deserved it".

This sort of bullying has bee...This is nothing new. This sort of bullying has been going on for centuries. We talk about doing something about it, but, in the end, nothing happens no matter what you do. <br /><br />I was savagely bullied and lived in fear of daily humiliation when I grew up. I grew so despondent at one point that I put a gun to my head, but was too big a coward to pull the trigger. No one did anything to stop the suffering I endured and I remain damaged to this day by so many years of torment. <br /><br />The only thing I have concluded about this is that bullying is part of human nature, particularly at certain ages. It's worse among girls because they tend to use more sophisticated techniques. Boys are physically abusive toward other boys most of the time. Girls are manipulative (read "Odd Girl Out"). Teachers don't intervene because they feel that this only makes the dynamic worse in the long run, though I often felt that they couldn't have made things any worse for me and desperately wanted to be protected when I was growing up.<br /><br />This isn't a problem that can be fixed with an acronym, or good intentions. Kids need a deep level of education which they can relate to, and that requires money, planning, and people with the power to implement changes. I'm guessing we're not going to see any of that any time soon.screaming fatgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556199963917842135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959592116987574933.post-46437530912798973842010-04-21T18:52:03.823-04:002010-04-21T18:52:03.823-04:00Megan please contact me (Renee Garza from The EGEM...Megan please contact me (Renee Garza from The EGEMZ Show and Gossip)at egemzshowandgossip@gmail.com or 9728157643.

Spread the word because it's been a lonely road trying to counter the many statements of those who deny anything bad happened to Phoebe or who point the finger at her.<br /><br />There are more of her writings from her english class posted on my blog. The one I am really interested in shows up as a blank on that page but if anyone has a way to retrieve it that would be great. There's a reason why that one particular entry was removed and it may well hold a key to what eventually happened to her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959592116987574933.post-91474618541159912522010-04-11T05:17:07.514-04:002010-04-11T05:17:07.514-04:00This story makes me so unutterably sad and I'm...This story makes me so unutterably sad and I'm very glad I found my way here from the YAAAB Facebook page you have set up.
