Anti Bullying

Lol I googled that T shirt, p. bad. Looks like the tribal tattoo of shirts.

I'm gonna go devil's advocate and say that we need bullies in the schools.

In an age where less and less children are physically active it's important let them overcome the challenge on their own.

Like any of the other social habits that these kids are developing and experimenting with they need to learn how they can deal with abuse of any type. Accepting that they're always a victim, a punching bag for the strong, is idiotic.

They don't need to be taught that bullying is wrong, that they're a victim, and that they have some obscure mental disorder because they've never figured it out somehow. Bullying isn't going to go away in schools, it's not going away in adult life, and not on a larger scale internationally. Get used to it, understand what you can do to stop it, and stop bitching about how 'unfair' it is.

Whut? When's the last time you saw bullying in adult life? Adult bullies are called criminals and end up in jail. A friend of mine was getting shit from some musclehead in a bar. He purposefully provoked the guy by calling him out on being a prick. Everyone laughed at the guy. The guy punched him. Now the guy pays part of his paycheck to my buddy every month. Way to go, bully.
Bullying of the type we are talking about is between children, who should not have to be responsible for protecting themselves against systematic and malicious attacks.

Whatever you might think, kids aren't stupid. They know that they're hurting other people, they enjoy being mean, they love to gain social status by picking on other kids.

This isn't just bullies, this is bullying behavior prevalent among all the different social circles. EVERYONE should be held responsible for their behavior, and EVERYONE should learn about how to deal with it. Sometimes physical violence is an acceptable answer to bullying.

We're always told that violence never solves anything. I'd say that historically violence has solved disagreements pretty well. That's why it's been so effective and so widely used, even to this day.

Nearly every day, but in subtle ways - extreme tailgating or offensive driving, gossiping about people behind their back to make everyone think less of them, my upstairs neighbor stomping his feet and making my ceiling fan swing all over the place because I called the complex courtesy officer on him for blasting his bass and loud music at 10pm on a weeknight...

Could go on, but bullying exists in ways that aren't technically illegal...
