As PSAs like the one the WWE runs every single week, when it comes to bullying, one of the first things that is advised towards children, <strong>is to tell someone<\/strong>. Preferably an adult or someone with authoritative power, to try and put a stop to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Ah, Clayton County, Georgia. Where failure isn\u2019t just a common occurrence, but pretty much a way of life. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ajc.com\/news\/news\/crime-law\/clayton-woman-threatens-alleged-middle-school-bull\/nW63k\/\">Long story short<\/a>: kid who is being bullied does what he\u2019s supposed to do, and <strong>tells someone<\/strong>. His 59-year old great aunt. Great aunt goes to kid\u2019s school to confront bully and tells him:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">If you put your hands on my child, I will (mess) you up, your momma and your whole generation.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">And in a twist of irony, bully goes and <strong>tells someone<\/strong> that he was being bullied. The Clayton County sheriff\u2019s department.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">In the end, the 59-year old great aunt is arrested, and everyone loses. There\u2019s no way the 59-year old aunt is going to be able to post the $5,000 bond. The bully is going to be outed as a pussy for tattling to the cops when he was bullied. And the great-nephew of the arrested woman is going to get it the worst, because not only is he now going to be known as the kid whose big-bad-mean great aunt <em>will show up to the school to defend him<\/em>, but now that the bully is going to get bullied for being a pussy, he\u2019s going to take it out doubly worse on the kid, for humiliating him and ruining his cred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Everyone loses, the bullying won\u2019t stop, and will in fact probably get worse, and the chain extended. Game over, and good night, Clayton County. Don\u2019t ever change, because where else would I get my local amusement from?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obviously in today\u2019s society, there\u2019s a great deal of attention being given towards the age old practice of bullying.
