No, your parents weren't wrong for teaching you not to fight. It is the less civilized people that settle disagreements with fights, we are civilized and we should teach our children to act civilized also.

Bullies, usually come from dysfunctional families where they were probably the target of someone bigger and stronger, like a parent or older sibling. But, it shouldn't be tolerated, teachers should definitely not encourage it and if I knew my kids were getting bullied, I would do all I can to find out who and why and put a stop to it.

Kids who bully suck. And dealing with their families usually sucks even more because you realize what a mind numbing block in the road the whole dynamic is.

There was that whole case with the young girl who committed suicide b/c a mother of an acquaintance created a fake Myspace profile to befriend her as a young guy and it all went to pot. Was the young girl who committed suicide unstable to begin with? Maybe. But the fact is, the mother who created the profile and was exposed eventually had to place her daughter in another school district and her business also tanked. Bullying simply is a BAD decision and ruins many peoples life, including, in many cases, the bullyer.
