I feel opposition to the bill is by a bully himself or herself. If there is anything I can do please contact me.

Please support the bill in its current form. My daughter has been the subject of bullying in the Central City school district in Nebraska for the last 4 years. My daughter is a very smart young woman, 3rd ranked in her class, and involved in a whole lot of extra-curricular activiies and volunteer work. Involved, I should say, until this last school year because of the constant bullying, which included constant remarks in the hallways, classrooms, things put in locker, stealing from her locker or gym bag, just plain having the wrong last name, harassing phone calls, internet cyberbullying, et cetera. We have been to school each year in regards to this bullying by her classmates. Each year it was not taken serious and as of the 2006-2007 school year still not taken seriously. It got to the point where my child was not provided with an emotionally secure and safe environment in which to receive an education. There were actually threats made on her life and still the school maybe gave a lunch detention or hallway restriction to the bulliers. In fact, the school actually made my daughter out to be the "bad guy" as we never had any actual proof except harrassing phone calls and internet mailings to prove her allegations, and of course, the school said that was not their problem, that they could only handle what happens on school property. Becuase of all this my daughter had to transfer to a different school district, which she did not want to do, but with the school not guaranteeing her safety, we felt as parents, that was the only action to take. Bullying is a big deal in our school systems this day and something needs to be done about the school providing an emotionally secure and safe environment for our children in this day and age. I can see why with bullying we have what is going on in our school systems today, guns, hate crimes, et cetera. So please, I urge you, to reject the attempts to kill or weaken LB205.
