I remember reading about a teenaged boy who snapped the back of a young lady’s bra every time he passed her in the school hallway. No help from the principal, of course. One day, she spun around and a slapped him in the face.
Next day, the girl, her mum, and the boy’s parents were all called to the principal’s office. “We need to talk bullying.”
“Oh, good! I’m SO glad you are finally addressing ’Tom’s’ behavior. We’ve complained so many times about him picking on ‘Susan’, and it’s high time it came to a stop.”
Neither the principal nor Tom’s parents were expecting this outcome, but Mum laid it on the line. The parents finally asked Dear Tom if this was all true. “Well, yeah, but . . .”
“But, nothing! I’m terribly sorry. We will handle Tom at home. Expect some improvement in his behavior.”
