Making The Bus Monitor Cry

[Cole]

If anyone could stomach tons of taunts, like, "Your fat," its this lady.


 a video of a 68-year-old bus monitor named Karen Klein being verbally harassed by a group of middle schoolers on their way home from Athena Middle School in Greece, New York was posted on facebook. Throughout the ten minute video, you can hear the kids verbally berate the woman, calling her a ****, fat***, poor, ugly, and various other words of the like. At one point in the video, you can hear one of the kids yell, “You’re so ****** poor you fat ***,” in which Karen responds, “I try to live by some of these words, I try and it’s really hard,” referring to the words on her purse. Now, I don’t know about you, but that broke my heart. There’s even a point in the video where one of the kids touches Karen’s arm in an attempt to make fun of her. I’m not sure why these kids would want to bully a senior citizen to tears, but I feel we should do something, or at least try.

I can't even begin to tell you all how mad, and upset I am that words so vile can come out of kid's mouths. This is terrible, and I can't believe the poor lady didn't explode and snap at them. If it had been me, I'd have pounded them all until they begged sorry. There may be cop charges.. but I honestly don't know yet.

Please, just bump this thread for awareness. Its terrible. We need to end this terrible... treatment to adults, and kids!

I only posted this for awareness, and to help stop bullying. Put this in your signature:

  It is really sad. Who does that? Throughout my whole life I've been bullied, and it sucks. 

[Cole]

Thats terrible. I hope children and teenagers learn how terrible this was. Its not acceptable. Neither is bullying.

[Sharkster]

I know...

[Cole]

Well I hope you have good luck with what happened. 

[Sharkster]

Thanx. I am still bullied by people. I've learned to ignore them though. 

[Cole]

Bump for awareness.

[Sharkster]

I'd put it in my siggie, but it is full.

[Cole]

I used to be bullied by some kids, they were popular, OF COURSE, but I just started laughing with them and soon they got sick of picking on me! x3 Now this is my social status:

At school- One main friend, a herd of other people I hang out with when I'm bored.

At home- e.o *twitch twitch* Anti-Social. xD

[Sharkster]

I only hang out with... Let's see... Carry the three... 5 people.

I saw the video this morning on a talkshow. It was really sad. The kids are like "Is she sweating?" And the lady replied: "No I'm crying." And the kids are like: "Probably because she misses her Mothers Twinkies" or something like that.  It was really sad. 

[Cole]

I know.. I got so mad, I was like, "Rot in h e double hockey sticks," And I've never said anything like that before.
