That's interesting from a psychological standpoint, but also pretty terrifying. D= I'm also concerned about the long-term effects this will have on those kids.
From the way the parents are described in the article, it doesn't sound like they're bad parents for the most part (Debbie somewhat defending her daughter being a bully kind of bothered me, though D=). But if I had a kid/kids, I wouldn't put them through something like that. @_@
But yeah, bullying sucks. I know from experience, having been bullied from pre-kindergarten to middle school (middle school being the worst of it). X_x Luckily I was never beat up or anything, just bullied verbally, and occasionally bad things happened (like one time in middle school when some kids stole my Yugioh cards when I left a Yugioh game for a minute to go to the bathroom, and another time in pre-k when a girl cracked an egg in my hair). D= I'm still not completely sure why I was such a bully target. XD"
Yeah, bullying sucks. I surprised myself last night when a friend of mine revealed she had been bullied pretty badly and I said, quite violently, "well fuck them anyway!" I hate bullies. And I don't think it's okay to justify allowing other people to treat people badly because they themselves had been treated badly. You can't use things like that as an excuse, because that makes /children/ think it's a viable excuse. Yeah, I really think those kids are doing to have some issues. I hope they're okay.

What the hell.
Still, it's a bit silly--ask anyone and they'll tell you that girls are WAY more vicious than guys.

Program sounds f'ed up. No way I'd let my kid into that!
