I just hate the idea of telling a kid to just deal with it and saying it's part of growing up. No adult would put up with that sort of crap at their job, and I imagine it's flat out illegal in most cases. And, if push comes to shove, you can get a new job (and probably find a lawyer). But teenagers, who actually take stuff like this to heart? Pssh, you'll be fine. Sometimes, it's not the suicides and school shootings that are shocking, it's that they don't happen more. Sure, you get told as a teenager that whatever you're angsting about isn't really that bad, and when you get the advantage of looking 15-20 years back in hindsight, you know they were right, but at the time, you don't always buy it.
