Hey Rosie!
May 18, 2012

This bully needs to be stopped!

Hey Rosie,

I am a 12-year-old secondary school student. This is my problem: There is this boy in my school. When I come to school, he will hit me and slap me for what reason, I don’t know. This is my major problem: he would not stop touching me up; he will touch my breast, my private parts and even when I tell him to stop, he would not listen. The thing that hurts me more is that he will not do the other girls that. I am afraid of tell my parent, because she will be mad at me for not telling her.{{more}}

Need Help

Dear Need Help,

Oh NO! Oh NO! Let me tell you something my young precious one: I wished that you would have shared the school that you attend with me, so I could call the principal on your behalf to have this young ‘thug” dealt with!! Who does he think he is? Hitting? Slapping? Touching your breast? Oh my dear Lord, I really am calling upon my God and Saviour for the strength and reserve to guide you correctly, because I would like to come to your school immediately and see this absolute crap go down, then scream at him to stop hurting you, then report him! But I will not, so let’s talk some real talk about getting this to stop.

First things first: does anyone see this happen? Maybe an older female student? If not, let’s get a plan in place. Tell a teacher, but let it be a plan. Tell the teacher (who you can trust of course, to do the right thing by you) where this would normally happen, and have them be in a position to observe this abuse happening. With that kind of visual proof, he should be addressed right there and then, and taken to the principal.

Above everything, you can also have the teacher, or maybe someone else in authority sit down with you and your parents while you tell them. Let me say this, they would be upset, because NO parent ever wants to hear that some fool is taking advantage of their child. So, their anger isn’t at you, but at the situation and not being there to protect you. However, they must know and that’s why they are there as your parents and MUST be told. Don’t be scared, you are a very brave girl at 12 years old to reach out to me and ask for help. I really wish I could meet you and give you a hug for being so brave. If you need someone there to help you through this, write me and we can work something out to help you through this mess.

Also, remember you ARE a precious gem and deserve the very best. This boy is a bully! He also needs help; but first, he needs to be stopped the right way. Do what I just said: reach out to a trusted teacher because we need to get him caught in the act. I am so proud of you for speaking up. You are a brave young lady.

Much love,

Rosie
