This is a perfect example where,as a parent,
I would wonder what in the hell I had done wrong, if my child were involved in something like this. Unbelieveable!! Obviously some of these kids involved in the bullying incident are low class and pathetic.
It is nice to see other students, with morals, stand up for what they believe in and support a girl they dont even know. Hats off to you guys!!
Students from a Cambridge separate high school English class penned letters yesterday in support of bullied high school student Lindsay Hyde.
"My class wrote a bunch of letters in support of what she's going through," said St. Benedict's teacher Filomena Bosagri.
Her 21 Grade 9 students learned of Hyde's plight while studying newspapers in class.
In the most recent incident on Sunday night, Hyde's Mississauga home was pelted with eggs, yogurt, watermelon and condoms.
The West Credit high school student and her mother came forward more than a week ago after an alleged incident in which the teen was attacked on a bus in January while the bus driver and other students did nothing.
She had pens thrown at her, gum shoved down her shirt and a condom wiped over her face and jacket. Hyde was also punched in the face while getting off the bus
She had also been taunted with names and shoved in school hallways before the bus ride.
Peel Regional Police charged a female with assault and breaching her conditions of release.
Hyde's ordeal elicited support from far and wide. More than 100 letters and e-mails have been sent to the Sun in reaction to the story about the Grade 10 student.
"The families of targeted kids don't get a day off from this problem," one mom wrote in a letter to the editor yesterday.
She said her son is being bullied at his school.
"As a parent of a child who is being bullied, the article really sparks a wide range of emotions," she wrote of the Sun's coverage.
