But the kids are smart enough not to do anything in front of teachers and/or off school grounds.

It was a movie novel not reality you made up. Continue trying to make this an world is ending issue when it isn't. That is what you folks are good at.

Continue believing that bullying in the 21st century is just calling someone "foureyes" and taking their lunchmoney.

Are you really serious with the "who is and who isn't a bully" comment ???

It's pretty easy to tell. Just ask the victims.

I really like your line of thinking. Put the rabid little turds in a portable room behind the school and get them their own bus. It would be cost effective in the long run too. Less counselors, etc.

I would be so for that. Sounds cruel but it seems to be the only answer that would actually work.

Like what is something that one could get away with years ago that they cant now?

Does name calling count? or does only physical bullying count?

Whats the punishment for bullying noww?
Don't we have enough "policy's"? I understand that bullying can be mentally and physically scaring but I think the reason they think we need this is because my generation is filled with sissy's. You need to toughen up your kids people. That's what's wrong. My parents have raised me to not take crap from people but also to not give anyone any. Parents today spoil they're kids and they will suffer for it later. Just saying.

Back in the 60s they bullied my older brother half to death and almost ruined his life---he is over 60 and it still effects him..bitter....I finally took care of the problem and found out that I was an excellent street fighter...I took out all the bullies one by one.

I went from the cowardly kid that used to hide while they beat my brother...to the local hero...Once a bully figures out that the little lion has teeth..they stop...yep...I could get three or four punches to the eyes in a second...they would squint closed...and that was it...I ended up protecting the little kids later for the big mean ones...Bullies are true coward...teach the kid to box...boxing is still the most effective way...no real damage but humiliating.

No its the parents fault not the child's. The parents are the ones who need to learn how to raise their children to be productive members of society instead of jack asses. The solution is, people, if you want kids learn how to raise them otherwise do the world a cavorted and don't have kids.
