Reese Witherspoon wants her children to be bullied at school.Reese went on to say, "I hope my kids get slapped and punched and swirlied and someone smears dog feces in their hair and sneaks rat poison into their Oatmeal Cream Pies. That stuff really builds character."
The 'Legally Blonde' actress - who has two children, eight-year-old Ava and Deacon, four, from her marriage to Ryan Philippe - says being teased in school helps build character.
She said: "I wouldn't want my children to miss out on any of that teasing and bullying - don't you think it kind of makes you who you are? This drives me crazy about today. Everyone wins the award and then, you know, everybody is a Most Valuable Player (MVP)? No! They're not! OK?
"I distinctly recall the two weeks of crying because I didn't make the softball team. It made me interesting. Hopefully, it helps kids really understand who they are. You know, figure out who they are."

Fuck her. She obviously has no idea what real bullying is like on the receiving end. "It makes you who you are" sure - it makes you into a screwed up person. I'm still dealing with the scars.

i agree completely with Arwen. kids don't need to deal with shit to be strong. just positive attitude and a balanced mind is required. there's enough shit in this world already. we don't need to put our kids through any more pain just so they can be "strong" only to end up an alchoholic or a druggie or just another obnoxious bully sometime later in their lives.

Show me some proof!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe she would say such a thing!!!! Must be mis-heard, mis-listened-to, not-listened-to-made-up!!!!!!
Sounds like so much bull!! She and no mother with the least bit of motherly love would ask that her kids be put thru that!! Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!

You blogs exagerate everything out of proporsion, what she meant was that having been taunt at when she was young helped her be the secure person she is now. Anyway, it was only her way of promoting her movie because it deals with the same thing...I doubt she meant it.
