There will never be a legal form of punishment for "bullying". It is something that cannot be proven that it happened, nor can you prove damages. So, if you are looking for legal redress, then I suggest you stop. Continuing on ends in gulags and tenners.

The other really big problem here is you classify the bully as the perpetrator and the bullied as the victim. This is incorrect on many levels, and leads to wrong conclusions and even worse methods of dealing with it.

The bully and the bullied are cut from the same cloth. They are both symptoms of child abuse. Where as the bully acts out, the bullied acts in. In all cases investigated it has been shown to be this way. Yes, the bullied needs help, however, the bully also needs help.

One thing that would really cut down on bullying impacts is to abolish govern-cement schools. You force people together that would much rather be apart, and you are basically sitting on a pressure cooker. Our schooling, err prison, system does not allow for the bullied to withdraw. And so reinforces the helplessness that the bullied feels. They are trapped. Learned helplessness is a big step toward suicide.
