I think bullying is totally unacceptable and children bullying other kids should absolutely be controlled and put in place, even if that means they need to be punished! They are hurting the other kids emotionally and damaging their future. However, I also think parents and teachers need to understand why the kids might be bullying others - is it because they are insecure, or afraid, or hiding their weakness behind the mask of a macho-man? If so, they need help sooner than later. Karma is a boomerang and life can whip you in a way that may make us regret things we did in the past.... Better to realize now, than repent later. Once again, great post @krnel !!
