Right. Get over it. You're the only one who cares about you and your parents.

Wow, we have had many sane and tolerant discussions and I'm frankly a bit shocked that you are being so cruel.
I am using my parents and my experience as a discussion tool, perhaps I should have just used an anonymous person. I feel that I have insight and understanding of an interesting topic and used personal experience as my basis of understanding, just as many on GC do in countless discussions.
I'm not going to flounce away, but the personal attacks are definitely unsettling, I think I'll move along quietly.

You set the tone. You really wanted this to be about you and yours despite how I kept ignoring your personal story and speaking to the general topic, so...here we are.
I don't come here to be concerned with the intricacies of every username's personal life. If we're having a discussion about something that personally impacts you, YOU have to determine whether you can discuss the topic without turning it to a discussion of you and yours. Be able to draw from personal experiences without being stuck in personal experiences. No one said that YOUR parents didn't provide the proper coping mechanisms or do all that they could do because we weren't discussing you and your parents. Ch2tf shouldn't have to calm you by telling you that your parents did what they could do by taking you out of school--but I think you may still be holding on to that pain decades later.
*putting my heart back in* I wish you well.

Let's please not forget that Phoebe Prince wasn't an American, and didn't really know the culture. She was an Irish teen whose parents wanted to give her a chance to learn about America.

I used to live in Ireland and I know that they take bullying very seriously there. I have seen bullying cases reported on the national news and often covered in the national newspapers.
When bullying is reported, the school administration is required to act and if it is serious enough, Social Welfare and the Police will become involved.
I can imaging Phoebe and her parents being completely confused by the situation. The problem had been reported to the authorities and it was the authorities duty to act - at least in Ireland, but nothing happened.
I don't think that they knew what to do next, so they did nothing.

Sometimes people have a profound ability to communicate for the most part through put downs and have astonishingly high opinions of themselves.
Interesting, in a topic about bullies. 
Your personal insight having dealt with an experience is certainly relevant and you didn't act like it applied across the board. Which is the only time I, personally, find personal stories irrelevant in threads like this.
