Do you feel this anti-bullying policy is necessary?

The only true victims of bullying for the most part are children that live in high crime neighborhoods and go to high crime schools. If your in the suburbs and your kid is getting bullied its probably your fault. Bullies look for the weakest kids physically and emotionally. If your kid plays outside enough to not be obese and has been taught to verbally defend themselves and not get emotional when people call them names, they won't get bullied at a school in a nice area by soft bullies that would be bullied at bad schools.

The exception is for kids and schools in the ghetto. Bullying there is a serious problem because there are organized criminal gangs that form together to terrorize others as a way to manipulate other kids to join there gangs and intimidate other gangs. In some of these gangs the kids are 2nd generation gangmembers of the same gang. There's also lots of angry kids that come from multiple generations of poverty and or 2 or 3 generations of career criminals. Bullying in the inner city claims lives.

In a lot of neighborhoods yeah, but in the hood bullying may means being victim of a violent crime at a young age in a school setting. Weather that means getting beat up constantly for no reason or getting robbed for your homework and lunchmoney at knifepoint in the bathroom or getting shot at on the way home from school.

My problem with the anti-bullying movement is they seem to only focus on weeklings at the nice schools that get called four eyes an can't handle everyone not liking and being nice to them. They don't ever shed light on kids at bad schools that are not weak, that could probably bully the bullies at nice schools with ease that are being bullied to the point where they are afraid to go to school or even outside to play because the bullies are all so ruthless, cold and violent. There are unfortunatly places in this country where being bullied means fearing for your life. This for some reason is completely ignored by the media.
