can't we all just get along?

ok, i know this isnt about the blogs that wendy gave us a list of, but i must speak my mind!!

My fiance's younger sister (she's about to be 12lets call her "Rose") was beat up the other day at her middle school. she is mexican, just like my fiance. now, i'm not being racist, but i do believe that what had happened was a racist thing. she told me that while she and her asian friend were walking to the car-riders' section after school thursday, a group of about 5 older black kids came up behind her and her friend and started calling her names and saying stuff about her. she said that she then was pushed down and about three of them started kicking and hitting her.they didnt call her friend names or anything, just her. her friend tried to help her, but was not able to. no teachers were around to see this. She said that she did not know these kids, and that she had only seen one of them before, but has never done anything for them to not like her. she's a very sweet girl, a little huskey, but i was a big kid too. i understand where she's coming from on some of it, cuz i was verbally bullied in school for being smart and for the fact that i had boobs from when i was about ten. anyway, after she got home, she realized that she had cuts and scratches all over her legs from where these kids hurt her. and i told her to take pictures every day of her cuts and where they hit and kicked her, so that if they are taken to court or anything, she would have visable proof of the attack. she told her parents, and is going to tell the principal as soon as she finds out their names.

Now, i ask you: is there any justice in this world???? this kid is a very nice, caring girl. and i'm not just saying that because she's my fiance's sister. i really like her, she's good to talk to when i need girl talk, even if she's only 12. She has done nothing that would make anyone have reason to hurt her. i really think this might be a racial thing, if it were her size or anything, name calling would be the most anyone would do, you've never heard of anyone being beaten up due to their weight. I really want to go down to her school and have her show me which kids hurt her, but i know that i will be arrested for assaulting minors. still, if i were only 17, i would go down there and give the girls that hurt her a taste of their own medicine, and i know my fiance wants to hurt the boys, but cnat for the same reason as me. i really dont get why they would hurt her other than racial. she seems phisically ok, but is still just shooken up a bit. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG AND ACCEPT EACH OTHER???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, they are moving to alabama either this semester or this summer. Hopefully she wont have to put up with this crap there. the kids that did this got in trouble for something else today, and she is stubborn and doesnt think there is a reason to report it. i really think there is.

It is truly horrible what happened to your fiance's sister. The violence in schools these days is WAY out of control. Just my soapbox opinion here, but I think it would serve some good to return corporal punishment to the school system. I was hell on wheels growing up and I am a well adjusted person now. All thanks to some well-time ASS WHIPPINGS by my parents, grandparents and the administration at my school.

yeah, i've had my share of spankings too. kids who were never spanked or punished enough for the crap they did when they were little, or are givin what they want all the time wind up being spoiled rotten and bitches
