    Hey, I think we should implement a new policy in schools. When a kid is caught bullying, they go into the assembly of shame where they stand up in front of the school and everyone makes fun of them.

    Wow, loved this one too, well put (though I think the 10% should be replaced with 0.5 %, it's all good).

    Nah. But my kids fuck up all the goddamned time. I need a celebrity to tell me which things to be less apathetic about.

    Well, you know what, I'm not going to criticize your methods because I don't have kids yet. :grin:

    What does bullying have to do with "everyone being special and unique"?

    Because people assuming they are "special and unique" without putting the effort into them actually being "special and unique" turns them into pussies. And when they encounter a "bully", they can't deal with it and instead whine about being bullied.

    You're missing the bigger picture. Bullying is a pass it on kind of thing. A kid gets bullied and bullies someone else (if they can). If an awareness campaign can get 1 in 10 kids to stop bullying, start thinking down the line of how many fewer may eventually go down the bad path.

    Bullies are usually quite popular among their peers, which is why they exist.

    Finally, someone said what I was thinking.

    When my father hit me, my mother said the aggression gets passed from father to son, to his son, etc. (That knowledge didn't stop her from coat hangering me sometimes.) The top of the chain of authority sets the example and it trickles down.

    It's ridiculous to see the government throwing people into prison for minor things when the government, at the whim of the President, opens dozens of torture asylums around the world, brutalizing anyone for opposing American invaders abroad. Bullying won't stop at the individual level until it stops at the collective level.
