School bullying claims another teenager’s life

13/08/2008 10:04:00 AM.  | Amie Meehan
There are calls for principals to have the power to expel bullies at school, after yet another teenager took his life.

15-year-old Alex Wildman and Tim Winkler both committed suicide after being repeatedly tormented at school.

Both boys were from Kadina High School, in Lismore – Tim’s family is calling for more action against bullies before more lives are destroyed.

Shadow Education Minister Andrew Stoner says more must be done to protect our kids.

“Principals should be given greater powers to suspend or expel bullies, and there should be more school councilors on the ground.”

There is even no good behavior is schools. Oh dear. I know children who swear, spit attack and more, including swearing at teachers plus insolence and vandalism. The toilets have poo all over them. Soap on the ground. Toilet Paper down the toilet. No, I am NOT joking. All this on Sydney's Northern Beaches.

This is terrible and sad. I think parents need to stay very involved with their kids when it comes to the emotional abuse experienced growing up in school. As bad as a bully may bother, kids need to understand its not the end of their world and they have so much ahead of them at 15! Make sure they talk! Maybe even teach 'em how to stand up to those bullies.

Ok what needs to be done is the systematic destruction of the emo culture.If these kids were influenced to be such pussy's then they would know not to back down even if it means getting your ass beat even if just to prove a point. I used to beat the shit out of kids that thought they were gonna walk on me in any sort of way. Guess my father taught me right.
