I've found some great art lessons for elementary students written by St. Louis teachers!<br /><br />Pat, I think girls are often the worst with bullying. Maybe that's because we just don't expect it.Notes Along the Way with Mary Montague Sikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417679983279135001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691530149623240966.post-13776133025751139402011-01-02T10:36:37.695-08:002011-01-02T10:36:37.695-08:00Bullying has been around a long time, hasn't i...Bullying has been around a long time, hasn't it? I'm in my late 60s, but I still have vivid memories of the bullies, many of them girls, from my small town grade school days.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691530149623240966.post-62014944226012463912011-01-02T09:51:32.435-08:002011-01-02T09:51:32.435-08:00Ah, you are correct, Monti.

Appreciated your mention of bullying -- for a time, I worked for a nonprofit in St. Louis, the Progressive Youth Connection, that is dedicated to eradicating bullying in the St. Louis schools. Wonderful Executive Director, Meg Petri, is a strong asset to the organization; they do Good Work! Thanks for bringing this important subject to our attention.

I'm so glad to see the schools and parents take this up as an important issue. I find the situation of suicides in colleges very disturbing. We didn't have instant news sources when I was in college, but I don't recall hearing about any student in any school committing suicide then!<br /><br />Nancy, thank you! It would be a little upsetting to have that happen. However, the "walk-in" premise is supposed to happen by mutual agreement. You would have to want to leave your body and would agree for another soul to enter it. I can imagine a child who is bullied might want to leave. That could be another story.

I finished your book...what an amazing idea to have a "walk-in," inhabit your heroine and to have her connect with the old friend that becomes the new boyfriend. If this really happens, I hope it never happens to me. But so great in a story.<br />NancyN. R.

There were cliques, rich kids, basketball guys, etc. Today it seems rampant and horrific.
