A Fort Defiance High School case of bullying has become a felony.

The mother of a high school bullying victim, Janese Manning, says, "While my son was unconscious, I saw this boy straddle him and beat him, I don't know how many times. I couldn't even count them."

More than a dozen stitches and a broken nose and eye socket were what Fort Defiance junior Adam Casey suffered after an alleged bully crossed the line.

Casey says Jamar Coleman, a fellow Fort Defiance student, has been threatening him for years.

Casey says, "He's been sending me threats, sending people to talk to me. Telling me that he's going to beat me up."

On Wednesday afternoon, things appear to have gone too far.

Casey says that he was warned that Coleman wanted to fight him. That's when he turned around. He was pushed three times until he was shoved to the floor and knocked unconscious.

Casey says, "It's not a good thing what happened to me, but the outcome of it is going to make me a whole lot more of a stronger person and pull all of my friends together."

To dispel other rumors, Casey made it clear that the fight broke out because of past differences.

He also hopes that action will be taken to prevent cases of bullying from happening again.

"I really would hate for someone else to go through what I'm going through. I mean it, mentally and physically. It's driving me nuts," says Casey.

Manning says, "Take the bullies if they are bullying, give them three strikes. If they mess up three times, then they're out of there. Why should my son have to fear going to school because he's scared someone might bully him."

Several attempts to reach Coleman were unsuccessful.

Augusta County Superintendent Dr. Gary McQuain says Coleman has been expelled from school and will go in front of the discipline committee at a later date.

He says the school board has a firm stance against bullying and to protect its students at all times.

Augusta County deputies say they

    Schools all over America are adopting these Anti-Bullying campaigns in order to help avoid these bullying issues. What the campaigns do is that they focus on teaching kids courage and self-confidence, educating people on how to see the signs, teaching self-esteem, establishing safe havens, and getting communities and other people to get involved in the campaigns. The movement is not only just help for the kids, but it also helps the parents so that they can also help their kids if bullying is happening to their children. Bullying can be very mentally harming to not only victims, but sometimes witnesses and bystanders. It can influence hostile and aggressive behavior, depression which could eventually lead to suicide, anxiety, declining grades and strange behavior, and worsening health in both. Anti-Bullying campaigns like “STOMP Out Bullying” and many others aim to reduce and prevent bullying, cyber-bullying, digital abuse, homophobia, racism and hate, school absenteeism, and diminishing violence in…

    In the article by John Cloud, “The Myths of Bullying,” he expresses the exaggeration of the supposed growing “epidemic” of bullying that is spreading across schools. He then begins by presenting two stories that relate to bullies and victims of bullying in their own right. One of which is about a shooting at Chardon High School, Ohio, where 5 students were shot and 3 killed. The other is about a suicide at Rutgers University where the victim was supposedly tormented by his roommate causing him to jump off the G.W. Bridge. Following these events and a couple more, measures have been rushed into place in response to these tragedies--furthering the idea of a growing bullying epidemic. Though, this is most likely an exaggeration as the U.S Department of Justice reported about 37% of students reporting that they do not feel safe at school. However, these figures have remained stable the way they are over the years, supporting the fact that the bullying epidemic is just an exaggeration.…

    Imagine that you are a thirteen year crying in your bed because you are dreading facing another day at school because you are being bullied. Nowadays, this is more common than ever before. For far too many teens this is a daily reality. According to the ASPCC (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) there are over 160,000 students in America who stay home from school every day because they are fearful of the mental and physical abuse from their classmates (1). The ASPCC defines bullying as a direct attack on a child’s status, sense of belonging and core identity and more times than not leads to low self-esteem (2). 1 out of 4 children are bullied every day (3). Bullying in any shape, form or fashion must be stopped so that our children can have a fighting chance.…
