Define bullying.

Wait until once out of school and the real world hits them square in the ass.

How about the parents of bullies do their job and tell their kids to stop being bullies? And if that doesn't work, make them do community service while wearing a t-shirt that says that they are sorry for being a bully. Heck, make them wear that shirt in school too.

Some parents are proud that their kids are bullies.

Allegedly bullied. The father of the Sante Fe school shooter believes his so was "mistreated at school" ... by football coaches. Ban football or make a separate football school!

Football coaches tend to have favorites and mistreat the rest.

Eric and Dylan picked on others as much as they were picked on.

The killer last week harrassed a girl for months until she stood up to him. Sounds like he was the bully in this station. If high school now is like it was when I went, there is a lot of picking going on by a lot of people. You would literally have to move everyone to another high school where you'd then get all the same kids again.
The shooter's father said bullying may have prompted the mass shooting.

Did the guys give him wedgies in the locker room?

Did they take his lunch money?

Did they hold him down and beat the crap out of him?

Or perhaps some kids chose to give the shooter a wide berth because he wore a long trench coat ( nod to Columbine) with Nazi insignia ( nod to Parkland) on it', despite temps in the 90's.

Shame on his peers for not voting him prom king.

Shame on the girl who rejected his advances and stalking.

Shame on the school for not " doing something".

Where does this whole "Trench coat" thing and Columbine fit in ? The Columbine kids didn't wear trenchcoats, the supposedly were a part of a "gang" called the Trenchcoat Mafia. In the pictures I've seen of the shooting, I don't recall them wearing trench coats.
