School Violence & Bullies

Yes and it was the most important lesson in life: those who make too much noise are coward and that's why they walk in groups. Take down the leader and they all stop. Better be the bullied than the pittyful bullies. They are actually so scared.

I think that a lot more people are aware of the situation and a lot more aware of the end implication. The attitude when I was going to school essentially boiled down to this. "Oh, you're complaining about being bullied. Well suck it up and move on, that's part of life." Of course, that attitude really has turned rather out to be ignorant to say the very least. And bullying does lead to a slippery slope into more criminal activities. The situation gets really bad, when it is the supposed figures of authority like teachers doing the bullying. Belittling children, making fun of their inability to answer questions, it is something that becomes much more horrifying in hindsight. I've heard horror stories but thankfully have never really had it. I think that there is a lot more awareness now than there was about ten or fifteen years ago about the consequences of bullying. Of course, one must also wonder about what kind of home life those children who bully others have. Surely this behavior has to be learned from somewhere.

I went to school back in the 80's.I used to get picked on constantly by the other students,so soon as I was old enough I quit school.It's still bad,I homeschool my daughter because the students acted like that with her.I think any kid that bullies or even so much as picks on another student has mental problems.

I attended school in 1951 in class ONE, our teachers were very strict, beating with cane, kneeling down and boxing of ears was so common if we did wrong, but now a days these are no more, the parents will sue the teacher for such action. Best of luck. Professor

When I went to school, I was never bullied. I had some petty quarrels with schoolmates but that's all. I think students during those years were much more behaved, taught well by parents, and unlikely to be exposed to violent TV shows or situations around them. Now, many children are bullied, not at home, but at their school. I think those children who love bullying fellow children either watch too much shows/movies or not taught by their parents well. Another bad thing is that, instead of parents resolving the problem, they prefer fighting each other over their kids' bullying.

I got bullied before by a guy, bigger and older. I was so mad that I throw chair on him twice, infront of teacher. Pfff. So he didn't bully me anymore.
