Good day everyone.
I am a nursing student. My ultimate goal is to be a travel nurse.
I am happily married for over 12 years and have 3 children: ages 6, 4, and 2. Family is the most important thing in the world and I want to help families work out problems so they do not have to be torn apart.
If your family is as important to you as mine is to me, get the help you need. If you do not like my advice, I respect that but look for someone that works for your needs.
Your family is worth it!

Okay, on thebus we have assighned seats, and I sit the seat behind Eric and were like bus-buddies. Well he sits next to the kid NO ONE likes what-so-ever. And Eric picks on hm daily.. and I dont like William but I dont pick on him and I don't join in.. well today he wasn't on and Eric was REALLY REALLy happy, so i seriously asked him if He hated William he said Yes. I asked him he had the power of letting him live or die what would he do.. and he said let him die and I almost cried!!!!
i dont know weither to take him seriously.. or not, but. Im going to ask him tomarrow and tell him im not kidding. and see what he says i know im taking this to far but STILL!
Umm anything would be good.
I wanna know what i shold say to Eric, should I tell William.. like errr can u tell me what u would do in this situation.
Anything is helpful =)

Kids can be so cruel.
I don't think that Eric would actually cause harm to William just because Eric's response was he would let him die.
I must say, I think you should make it clear to Eric you don't like his attitude toward William. If he doesn't like him, leave him alone! This does not mean you have to confront Eric. You could do something as simple as look out the window and CLEARLY not like the way Eric is treating William. You could even tell him something like "Come on Eric... this isn't funny anymore. If you can't stand him just ignore him". You may even want to suggest to William to ask the bus driver to switch seats with someone.
I have always been the type to feel sorry for the abused. No matter how irritating, nerdy, or whatever William is, he does not deserve to be constantly abused by Eric. If you... stick up for William in what ever way you feel comfortable doing, you are doing something wonderful to "help the oppressed" so to speak. Sounds like Eric is a bit pompous and needs to be put in his place that he cannot treat another human being in such a dreadful way.
Eric is likely acting this way because he has his own issues. He may feel somehow powerless in his home life and only feels he has control in his school/bus environment. Bullies usually have issues of their own and don't deserve to be treated badly just because they are acting like jerks. I can't begin to imagine what it may be, but if Eric is acting out, he probably has problems of his own. BUT... William doesn't deserve to be beat up (even verbally) because Eric has problems. We all have problems. We still need to be respectful to our fellow humans.
You kinda remind me of myself when I was in high school. I was the kind who minded my own business for the most part. I didn't fit into a clique but everyone seemed to like my company. When I saw someone being treated badly, it made me very sad and I usually tried to stand up for the person, unless I felt I was putting myself in a dangerous situation. I even once privately spoke with a teacher about another kid because I was afraid of the bully involved but desparately wanted to help the kid being bullied. I asked to remain anonymous but I couldn't keep quiet.
I guess that's why I am into therapy now as an adult!!
Good luck with this.
