Bullying In Schools-Last week was the WORST week ever for me........

I was hoping to have my giveaway up for this month a $15 Target gift card, and a Chritmas goodie surprise. I wanted to have it up on the 1st but that was not gonna happen, and after a long week last week, it will be up tomoroow the giveaway that is. I wanted to tell briefly why I have been missing all last week. I got a call last Tuesday that my daughter had been punched in the face and in the head several times, and an ambulance was on there way to get her and meet them at the hospital. You see she had passed out, and awoke to massive blood she was spitting out of her mouth as she was gagging on it, laying on the floor in the hall ways. I called my husband immediately from my cell phone, he happened to be on a job sight near my daughters school and rushed there.He got there to be with her and ride in the ambulance he said he had never seen anything so bad:( She ended up getting cat scan of her head and jaw, and had a minor head injury and her jaw was not dislocated thank goodness but was swollen. She missed all last week of school and was wrote off from the hospital. She is really a GREAT kid!!! She is an 8th grader, and just got all A's on her report card, never been in trouble, and luvs school and a people person. So to hear she got upset and got beat up it was a total SHOCK!!! I later found out that the girl who hit her was wanting a chair that Joli my daughters friend was sitting in, and my daughter said its a chair, and even one of the girls went and got her another one. Well she wasn't having it and wanted that chair, so my daughter told her friends lets just let her have it and they left and went to another table. Later in the hall way the fight took place, and this girl is known to be a bully, and has been in trouble for other things at school. The whole ordeal has made me realize even though I have had issues with my son and bullying in the past, he dealt with it held his own, my daughter on the other hand is so laid back does not stick up for herself, and I think that makes her an easy target for bullying. I was not all pleased about the schools handeling of the fight, as students broke up the fight, and it wasn't untill my daughter got up and walked a few steps and collapsed and black out that teachers rushed to her side, and teachers were not located in the hallway and the superintendent assured me that he had told teachers previuosly that teachers need to stand outside their classrooms while kids are changing classes as fights are often started in hallways. My daughter was seriously hurt from bullying, I think the girl was just jealous of her, and I believe some kids are meant to be just plain mean, and there is no help for them!!! I could go on and on, but I will not be doing that today. I am happy my daughter went back to school today. She received so much love and support while she was recovering, I think she is traumatized by the whole ordeal, and I really seen her never be as sad and depressed as she has been these last few days. We went to church yesterday and I think that really cheered her up, being in the Lords house is always a GREAT place to be:) I just hope that sharing my story will tell you a little bit about bullying from a parent, a story I hope NONE of you ever have to deal with. It breaks a parents heart, and really devastates all children that are bullied!!! Please come back tomorrow for my giveaway.... Target gift card...and a Christmas goodie SURPRISE!!! Here is some pictures of my daughter........She really is my best friend, I am blessed to have such a wonderful young lady in my life. I LOVE you Joli!!
