If they just look on and don't say anything...even if they don't agree with it...they are validating it with their silence.<BR/>I think a great nonconfrontational way to deal with bullies is to invite the bullied child to join your group and turn your back on the bully....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-76749969127278976342007-11-25T16:26:00.000-05:002007-11-25T16:26:00.000-05:00Hi Ur Merit!!That's interesting...I was wondering ...Hi Ur Merit!!<BR/><BR/>That's interesting...I was wondering what it was like in China.

Anything that can be done to make more people aware of the problem...and how to deal with it...is so welcome. I'm afraid too many people think of it as a rite of passage.
