Do most FFing parents know powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products? How much of a risk is a E. sakazakii infection? Is it only a risk to premature and low-weight babies? According to the WHO article below, "infants under 2 months of age are at greatest risk."


According to the FDA, "a

That's awful, that teacher should be sent for multiple different types of training, diversity, sexuality, discrimination, bullying... being a sensitive, supportive, caring human being training.... that'd be a start.

Training her to be a human being would be a huge first step! And possibly too big a step for her.

I was very glad to get out of that school at 16 and go to college. If I'd had to stay there I would've gone mad.

"Actually, I was bullied, called names, and tormented in various ways throughout school, and harming another student or harming myself was never in my mind. I don't believe being bullied can cause this."


Alot of bullies bully because they themselves are bullied.

>>We cater to families. We cater any age from first haircut to over 100 yrs old. Can you please tell me what those salons have done to be childproof?>>

I am saying that they truly understand that children sometimes cannot stay still so most things are put away and they find ways to entertain kids. I am not sure what else you want me to say. I am saying they would understand and wait for a mother needing to breastfeed. I just do not think they are as busy as your salon and being in a smaller area, maybe they just enjoy entertaining kids as well as cutting the family's hair. Now some of them are covered in tattoos, with weird hair but all very polite. And most are parents...

What more can I say? Find a salon like that as a mother is a God send because they will take Kylie in back and hand her colouring books and put on fake tattoos. It just what they do...

>>None of the kids were punished or even addressed about the issue. Not a single one. It lasted for a little over three years.>>

I am so sorry to hear about that. Mine lasted seven years with the same group of kids because I went to a private school with about 16 kids per class. I felt small and could not speak for myself because it was daily and they just never stopped talking and making fun of me. I was also sexually harassed by a boy for a year. I finally cried at the dinner table two years after the harassment took place because it took me that long to finally have it sink in just how horrible it was. For years I just survived by trying to ignore it, not acknowledge it, praying it would just go away.

Last year I finally talked to one of my former classmates who was probably the worse. I finally was able to let go...but it took until I was 32 before I could finally stop being so angry and hurt.

It also took until I was 25 to finally go out with a boy because it was the guys in my class who called me ugly etc. and after 7 years, you begin to believe anything.

>>Keep ignoring all ~100 of them. Every hour of every day for over three years.>>

Ignoring them does not work...I tried it for over 7 years! There were times were I thought, why do you even continue talking?! No, I must have shown weakness or that it bothered me even though I NEVER replied! It drove me mad at times, but I would keep my stony silence and they still just kept talking, taunting...bullies are the worst.

>>Is it possible there was an element of paranoia involved? I'm not asking this to be rude or sarcastic, but you mentioned your feelings of escaping the bullying was a sign of mental illness. Is it possible there was an underlying cause of why you felt they were always after you? Could it be possible that because of your possible paranoia, they pursued you more? I've found that bullies will feed off of anything and everything you give them. Be it fear, panic, paranoia, happiness, retaliation, etc.>>

And somehow you are making the victim responsible for their irrational behaviour. Their issues, their problems. They should not bully period. Someone has to take the lead and it should be the schools and teachers saying this is not acceptable. It should not be up to the victim to change. It is like saying rape victims ask for it. No one asks for it...whether it is rape or bullying and the victims should not have to say, well, you are right, I should not feel fear when someone is threatening me.

I think you must have been stronger then me, but after 7 years of constant bullying and sexual harassment, yeah, I felt violent towards my bullies. And if you knew me, I am certainly not a violent person!
