Re: Bullying
Did kids 100 years ago get bullied? YES Did they go to school and shoot it up? NO I truly believe as a society we don't make our children take responsibility for their actions. Maybe the VT guy didn't get enough attention growing up, never felt loved, who knows but it doesn't excuse him. I was bullied when my parents were going through a divorce and my dad was diagnosed with MS. I didn't shoot anybody, I didn't even punch anyone in the face (although a few deserved it). I became stronger and would out-wit the dumb ass that decided to cross me.
I don't agree with bullying but it makes us who we are as a society. Like it or not but to be a rounded culture we need someone to bully on and be bullied sometimes, it humbles us. Just like we need social classes to maintain society, it is just the way of life. If a child is bullied that really sucks and something should be done about it. They either need to learn to defend themselves or an adult needs to step in to diffuse the situation. There also needs to be discipline at home! It really shouldn't be any schools responsibility to control your child. Physical bullying should have serious consequences so the kid doesn't do it again. I think if a child has respect for his parents/teachers that they wouldn't have this type of behavior in the first place. Not to say a child that does have respect wouldn't bully but it wouldn't be a constant. I think the bottom line comes down to respect and self control.
