I know your trying to describe the situation but you called him a wimp and just about everyone in the thread started call him the wimp. except for the op everyone was picking on him and the manager did not care.
I know Dr. Phil did a show on Bullying and he said that if the bystanders do nothings they are just as guilty as the bully. Martin Luther King said its not the few bad people that do harm its all the good people that standby and do nothing that is how evil is allow to happen.
I think a lot of people don't want to get involved because they afraid that they might be bully too and there is the mob or herd mentality that kicks in when whole groups of people join in.
I afraid there are going to be more Callinbines and people going postal and more suicide if bullying is not stop. Most people don't understand the effect bullying can have on a person. when people see these tragedies they shake there head and say how come these things happen. I can only say I have felt suicidal and homicidal at times because of bullying.
one more thing I know a lot of you don't understand why he did not stand up for himself. it hard to understand but if you been bully a lot you feel worthless and some time being pick on is not as bad being total alone. I know I may sound like I'm over reacting and I know everyone has been bully at one time or another but If you have no friends to tell you they are jerk and there is nothing wrong with you and everyone just lets it happens you feel that there is something wrong with you.
