Anti Bullying Hype
« on: July 24, 2011, 03:27:33 PM »
I think being bullied, and bullying is an essential part of growing up and developing into a normal healthy adult.

This anti bullying shit is getting crazy.  I see more of this shit on the news every night.

WTF

I thought the dodge ball ban was bad, but they're getting even crazier than that!

Kids today's are being taught to be wimps and pussies.   If a kid is getting bullied, there are plenty of ways to deal w it outside of therapy and anti depressants.

I am very much against this everyone gets a trophy and the scoreless soccer game bullshit.

However, steps that discourage or prevent bullying is a good thing IMO.

I think being bullied is different than we grew up. We dealt with it face to face. Kids now, their is cell phones, facebook, etc...

I think getting picked on, is part of growing pains but again it's different now

I don't know, kids still get bullied at school the old fashion way.  There other ways to build character in children.

Examples of building character?

Sports, goals, hard work, discipline, martial arts, boxing, etc.  And I know it's an old worn out issue, but our school system is over managed, over funded for amistration, and the teaching methods are whacked. 

I agree we don't have the same kids now.

We are turning into a nation of sissies, but to say bullying is essential is ridiculous.  It's not "normal" behavior for one kid to beat another smaller kid up, or harass a kid, etc.

No, I didn't.  And it wouldn't have mattered.  A bigger, stronger kid beating up a smaller, weaker kid isn't normal.

I don't remember a time when the bigger stronger kid wasn't the bully.

It's pretty rare that the little kid is the one doing the bullying. Not saying it doesn't happen, but it's not the norm.

So if it's not "normal", who is doing all the bullying in the world? The little guy???

Something that his commonplace isn't necessarily normal.  Crime happens all the time.  Doesn't make it "normal."  The whole premise of this thread is absurd:  that bullying is "normal" and a "necessary" part of growing up.  No kid should have to deal with that kind of crap.

I didn't say bullying is "normal".

I said that most bullying is done by bigger larger kids... That seems pretty normal to me.

Yes, most bullying is done by bigger, stronger kids, or a group of kids.  That part is "normal."  Bullying itself is neither normal nor necessary.
