I'm mixed about this, because I think a certain amount of 'bullying' is beneficial as a means of learning how to handle controversy and antagonism, which we will all face in life.
But, with that said, I think children need to be taught where the limits are, how much they should simply put up with, what amount they should 'accept' and how they should react to it on their own, and what they should bring to the attention of the proper authorities.
I realize that is more complex than simply saying 'Stop bullying', but I believe it would produce much better results than trying to stop all bullying, which I don't think will ever happen.

I'd love to see how some of those Wisconsin teachers use this in their classrooms. After all they've been nothing but bullies the last couple of weeks and haven't exactly set a good example of how to handle life's little disappointments, now have they???
If it is the message, it makes me feel that you should be aware that you are portraying more of the tendencies of a Liberal than the Republican that you keep protesting to be.
Personally I think the Government is ALREADY too involved in things that they don't have the authority to be involved in. This is another example of the Progressive Left telling the rest of us how WE have to live, though they Don't have to!!! Do as I say, not as I do!!!!
Let's get real. Life is a constant challenge. It involves all kinds of personal interactions. One can not learn to cope with any given situation if you are never exposed to it. It's like the parents who want to bring up their kids in a germ-free environment, so that they never get sick. The problem with such an approach is our immune system never develops to its full potential. The same can be said with creating the perfect social interactions in which there is never any stress. IT's BS. We do our kids a disservice and it is we as parents who need to step up and allow our kids to be exposed to all kinds of characters so they know how to cope with them successfully as adults. Youth is for learning from our mistakes without the full risk faced during adult life. The more mistakes we find exposure to, the better equipped our kids are when they go off on their own. We as parent can then feel secure in knowing our kids are capable of handling anything life throws at them.

So bullying is a political issue? WTH? And I am not a republican anymore. But I am a conservative. Big difference. I really fail to see how my agreeing with not ignoring bullying makes me look like a liberal.
Did you know the kids that caused the columbine tradgedy were mercelisly bullied. And teachers ingnored it. I have seen it first hand in the schools. They arrest eleven year olds for talking about teachers dying and ignore kids. We are the adults in both cases. :can't hear
WTH is everything lib vs rep.? Sick of it. Do you have anything to say about the actual subject??
This is a joke when you consider the bullying that went on the last few weeks in Madison. Obama's union thugs were acting exactly like bullies. Just more of the same crap, don't act as I do, just act as I say.

hmmmmmm.....it seemed to me that there was plenty of bullying going on by the governor and the republicans.......so some bullies are good bullies.....and others are bad? the Union and the teachers were fighting back......is that not OK when you are being bullied by someone who can do you great harm.....like take your job away or take away rights you had when you took your job?
We are talking about kids here!!! We are their protectors. Including, or especially, the teachers. Not every little thing that Obama does is wrong. Jeez.
