I don't necessarily think we should tolerate bullying but we should learn our kids that conflict is okay. You can't like/please everyone and not everyone can like/please you. It's important to learn our kids that that is okay and if they ever get in such a situation that they should be able to stand up for themselves, preferably without violence.
Well said :)
Most people fail to understand that part of bullying is simply other people having their own way over us. We get lost in semantics. 20 years ago bullying was taking some other child's launch money and beating them up.
Today bullying is writing "bad things" on chat rooms. Anyone can see how this evolves...We are all becoming way too sensitive.
The same happens in every other field of life - lack of moderation. I hope it will not end like in the calhoun's experiment
