<p>Someone who says that if it’s not physical, it’s not bullying, has never been around 8th grade girls. A huge reason why my DS wants to go to BS is the bullying culture of her school. Nobody has ever laid a finger on anyone else, or even threatened to, but the various forms of control, exclusion, mocking, isolating, have driven more than one child right out of the school. Queen bees don’t need to threaten physical violence to dominate, cow, humiliate and otherwise make the lives miserable of anyone they want.</p>
