Unnecessary Roughness

kids will tease each other .. it is a fact of life .. but this particular incident struck me as awfully mean .. actually mean is an understatement .. mean doesn't even begin to describe it .. this is just pure evil.
here is the incident i am referring to .. there was an article in the guardian recently about what has become of huda ghalia .. among other things the article talks about how huda is doing in school ..

She was teased a lot by the other children, and even now in between classes she plays with her sisters more than her classmates. "The other children would run after her saying, 'Huda Ghalia, Huda Ghalia', and, 'Oh father, oh father', just like they'd seen on television," said her teacher, Nadia Shurafa, 25. "Her response was to be shy and not talk to anyone. She tried to forget about what happened, but no one lets her forget. She just wants to be normal."

poor huda :(
