Natika Bird says bullying killed her teenage daughter.

Carla Jamerson, who was 14, will never get her driver’s license, graduate from high school or fulfill her dream of becoming a scientist.

She committed suicide in the downstairs bathroom of the home she shared with her mother, father and 9-year-old sister on the night of Feb. 27.

Bird said her oldest daughter’s death could have and should have been prevented.

She said she cannot recall a time when Jamerson was not picked on by her classmates, from kindergarten to middle school.

It was especially terrible at Canarelli Middle School in southwest Las Vegas, the school Jamerson most recently attended, Bird said. At one point, students at the school created a Facebook page in Jamerson’s name to spread rumors of pregnancy and sexual promiscuity.

“They massacred her,” Bird said Thursday.

Had Bird loved her daughter more, she would have home schooled her.

Tho I agree this would have been a better solution than her daughters brainstorm, homeschooling has its downsides. Children benefit from interacting with other children. Mom can't shelter her for her whole life. Mom would have been better off shoving her daughter out of the nest and conditioning her child to deal better with the harsh realities of life.

Bullying has been going on since the beginning of man... it's only within the last century that so many opt a permanent vacation for such a temporary condition.

Our society has been weakened. This mother helped with the pussification of this child... and homeschooling just might have weakened this child just a little more.

She should have taught her child to bitch slap the girl or girls that were running their mouths. Stand up to a bully, and even if you lose, they often times leave you alone.

There are times when one or a few people are targeted within a peer group for constant bullying. In such a case they have little choice but to suffer or to withdraw. Or to kill some of the bully ringleaders or otherwise find ways to make their lives miserable.

I can't believe you are unacquainted with these situations.

I can't believe you are unacquainted with these situations.

I've dealt with bullies, both growing up and professionally during my years as a LEO.

I was taught to stand up to them. Which worked for me. I was bullied little, I was naturally a big guy. I was wrestling 215 in 8th grade and had to lose 25 pounds every year to make 215 up until I graduated. I was bench pressing 350 my senior year. When I entered the police academy at 29 I was 245. When I graduated I was 206. When I retired at 49, I was 250... and I can still press over 300 pounds off my chest.

I did however experience one bully, prior to high school graduation, who ran around in a group of douche bags, intimidated by numbers... they tried to pick a fight at the public pool, one summer. Weeks later, I watched him closely, and confronted him away from his friends in a public park. I knocked the shit out of him. Last his little Gang bothered me.

As a LEO, most victims of a bully was relatively weak. Both physically and mentally. Their parents were the same. Most situations worked thrnselves out and I found they did so quicker if the victim grew a set of balls.

After all, as an officer, I can't protect that kid his whole life.. he or she has got to step up to the plate sooner or later. We've been pussified as a culture. Pathetically weak in nature. It's a byproduct of liberalism.

Let the kids fight... I taught both my children to take no shit. My daughter is a 4th grade school teacher at a private catholic school. My son is my size... both will take a stand or protect each other.

I was small, wiry and kinda geeky. The school was a tough farm school. You'd have stuff like upperclassmen turning over their class rings so they could pop the 9th grade boys on the head at any time for any reason, including just being bored. Kids got molested on school buses including the sports buses. I recall one of my classmates having a napalm-like mixture applied to his genitals and he ended up in the sheriff's office with his dad while his pubic hair got cut off.

A few of us weren't going to have it. They were vulnerable and never knew it. You'd be surprised how many truly rotten things you can do to people when you start to give it some thought. Are they locking their gas caps to keep the sugar out during their football game? Do they remember to check that the lug nuts on the tires of their school cars are still tight? Do they check the oil level in their engine every time they start it? How do they feel if one of the bullies gets his legs utterly crushed and a few people show up to stand vigil at the hospital while he is at death's door and they know that the watchers do not want that person to survive?

I start to get upset when I think about that school. And, like I said, I was virtually unbullied. Because they knew what I would do.

So I suppose we are in some agreement on dealing with bullies. Being small and liking science and reading, I resorted to methods other than thumping them because I wasn't big enough to thump them like you were.

By the time my class graduated from high school, all that organized physical bullying was gone from the school. Needless to say, they know better than to invite me to class reunions, given my opinion of those assholes.

I shanked a bigger than me bully in high school in the head. It did not penetrate his skull (it was a blunt pointed metal rivet set from shop class) but I drew blood and gave him a concussion. Because I did that and because his pals who he would have asked to jump me knew some of my pals who would have jumped me there was no follow up fight. I still have the shank.

With that said, thank God I did not have an ice pick or a gun or a knife on me or I would have killed the kid and maybe others involved and it would have ruined my life and the life of others.
