It’s always the guns….it’s the “gun culture” that causes kids to be bullies. Why don’t we take it on down the line and contact Congress to ban “assault” knives, “assault” blunt objects and even “assault” fists. Just think, if we could just institute “fist-free” zones then bullying would be virtually eliminated! Whatta concept!
The very best way to ban bullying is to hurt bullies. Works every time. You don’t even have to be able to beat them, just hurt them. They’ll quit, the pragmatic thing for them to do is then go bully someone who won’t resist, or quit bullying entirely.
As an opionated, outspoken tiny person through my 17th year I can aver that the above is true. I am no longer small, but the rest is still about right.

The title of that piece should have been “How to raise a sissy”.

Sounds like someone wanted to use their soapbox to deliver a message for another issue.

Ban bullying! Duh.
Dirty looks, too. And name-calling.

I believe Sebastion hit the nail on the head. That was my first thought, also.

There it is. That worked for me and my daughter.
