Somebody correct me if I'm wrong:

EDT is daylight savings time in places that use EST.. so, for the west coast, this will be aired at 8:35pm?

Nightline airs right after your late local news. So what ever time that is on, it'll be right after.

Then it is 11:35 for me! Thanks for your help, everyone!

Aaaaaah, the sound's not working on that channel and it's nearly time!

Just watched it. I've seen worse. At least it didn't ridiculously exaggerate it as a disability.

I figured out what was up with the sound (turning off the DVR and pressing input did the trick) and those boys had nothing compared to the bullying I've endured.

I think if a person can get to their adulthood with their self esteem more or less intact, they'll be in a less weak position to deal with bullying as an adult. Also there is legal recourse for adults that just isn't available to kids. If half the stuff that was done to me, in school, had been done to me in the workplace, the bullies would have been arrested. But when it happens in school,"kids will be kids." A lot of the time it's overlooked.

Most of the time kids are told to just walk away or they are completely ignored. Often teachers/authorities/administrators don't give a damn and probably label the child as a weenie or something without finding out the real cause.
...if i had told my parents half the stuff i had to endure in school, i doubt they would have done anything either because they had that same school of thought.

It's not easy in the workplace either-- I've read plenty of stories here about people being bullied in the worklace as adults with no recourse. But, if they are spit on, hit, physically threatened, etc., they could file a police report. In school that sort of stuff is not taken as seriously, even though it is as damaging to kids as it is to adults (if not more so).

I thought its was pretty good, the little aspie was quite a goofball . The bullying was a bit tame but it is good that the kid won't have to have any worse bullying. We need more aspie programs like that .

I liked it for the most part, better than the austism show Oprah did today.

don't even get me started on Oprah...

I thought it was a good report, FAR better than the Oprah show, that's for sure!
