I wasn't bullied much, but my heart broke when I found out my daughter was bullied in high school. She was a shy girl and there was a band of mean girls (isn't there always?) that would go around singling out other girls they didn't like. They had a posse of guys that hung with them and egged them on. The girls would say that such and such a girl put out and the guys would claim that she'd put out for them. They told everyone my daughter was pregnant. When time went on and it was obvious she wasn't, they said they saw her going into an abortion clinic. It was SOP. They did it to other girls. My daughter didn't tell me about it until years later, but if I ever had gotten hold of those rhymes-with-witches!
