Occupy Our Schools

So my poor 14 year old daughter has been bullied by this girl in her class since the start of the school year and we have gone to Guidance quite a few times and that didn't work, in fact it's almost as if the Guidance counselor didn't really put too much effort into it. Well on December 5th 2011 it escalated cause the girl was talking junk about my child with some other kids and they knew my daughter was getting upset and this bully went up to her and said snitches get stitches cause she knows my daughter will go to someone for help dealing with this situation. So my child filed a bully report and of course they deny it and they say they were all joking around and playing. Umm since when is threatening someone (and to me saying snitches get stitches is a threat it is communicating intent to harm another person) anyways since when is that playing and joking around? Seriously are the school officials really buying this do I need to go to law enforcement, do I need to get a lawyer, do I need to go to the national media to bring their attention to how bullies can get away with making threats towards another child in school? Is our school system that crappy where kids can't even feel safe in school? Is it fair that my child comes home with stomach aches, headaches, is it fair she also comes home crying almost every day while this out of control "child" get's away with it??? I'm done with the injustice and I am going to make as much noise as I have to, to get my child's story heard, get her the help she needs and make schools OPEN their EYES and quit allowing such to go on inside their schools! The good kids in the school deserve to have an education one in which they are not bullied, they aren't worried about the actions of others! It is high time that ALL parents of good children start taking the school back instead of Occupying Wall Street we parents, we the people need to Occupy our own SCHOOLS and get them back from the bullies, from the drug dealers, and other illegal activities that go on! Maybe just maybe we ALL need to push harder, not back down and demand better for our children! Maybe it's time that we stand together and refuse to take NO for an answer! I know I for one will not be dismissed quietly I will do whatever I need to do to protect my child and other innocent children! Childhood should be a fun time not a time where you dread getting up in the morning and going to school to learn. My daughter wants to do so much with her life and I refuse to let anyone make her feel less than what she is! I refuse to allow my child to become another statistic and every parent out there should agree and shouldn't let any child become a statistic! I dropped out of school because I was tired of being picked on I didn't end my life but so many young people are taking this rout these days it's sad! No one should be bullied out of their life, or out of the school! I say put the bullies out they don't want to be there obviously if they did they would be focusing on their education and not other people. Thankfully I have turned myself around and I have finished my bachelors degree and I am working on my Masters degree now I have turned my life way around and yes I am stronger and more understanding for the life I have lived but no child should have to live a life of being bullied! Why can't we just accept the fact no one is the same we all have out positives and negatives we all are not perfect but we all are unique! I am sick of all this that goes on within our schools it's high time we demand better for our children and their future!
