Today on Good Morning America they had the “bullied grandmother” on to do a follow-up interview to see how she was coping with the hurtful words. Karen Klein was harassed by students on the bus she was monitoring.  A student took a video of the harassment that was going on and posted it on Youtube. Karen received several apology letters from the students who poked fun at her. I’m not sure how or whom gave Karen money, as a sort of compensation for the emotional distress that she had to go through. The money that she did receive is going towards an anti-bulling movement. I get that bulling is a serious issue that needs to be addressed in high school and middle school. This viral video also indicates that bulling doesn’t stop after you graduate from high school it’s in the real world as well.

One thing that annoyed me while I was watching this segment was they kept referring to Karen as the “bullied grandmother.” The word “grandmother” just pulls at some heart strings of people to get more sympathy. Bulling is a really hot issue in the world of teens. Last year it was gay marriage this year the anti bulling movement.
