Just because people let it pass for decades as 'its just teasing, you'll get over it,' doesn't mean that you'll get over it.
Constant bullying from peers can be psychologically damaging if not be life crippling, and people have yet to realize how much pain and suffering it causes one person.
If adults were to torment and harass their fellow co-workers, they would most likely be charged for harassment, if not a restraining order.
Why is it that schools do nothing about teenagers acting out violently upon other teenagers?
'Bullying' is more than just teasing and name calling, its victimizing and traumatizing, which is not something that we as human beings can just 'get over,'
If an adult were to physically attack another adult, they would be pressed with charges and be put in jail, but in the school systems, teachers and principles call it 'bullying,' and just say that 'kids will be kids,' and further more do nothing about it, only worsening the problem.
Bullying is not being treated as a crime, when it should be.
Am I the only one who feels this way? I understand that the case of bullying is more then skin deep, and is a result of intense insecurity and fear, and a child should not be arrested from acting upon these two deep emotions, but given great attention and help, because its the only thing that will make them stop, if their scream is finally heard.
