Anti-bullying campaign = Taking away kids opportunities to self improve by overcoming adversity.

yes. bullies are a societal tradition. they are necessary, to be honest.

On the flip side, why should anyone improve for a bully if they dont like something about somebody?

I meant as far as making you learn to stand up to jackholes like that...it builds character
I was the original 130# weakling as a kid, now I am 200# and can bench press 350...

The softer people are made, the easier they are to rule.

QED: get rid of bullies.

I agree but before all this anti-bullying stuff got started schools were already cracking down on anyone who got in a fight thus scaring all the kids who would otherwise stand up to the bully with threats of being expelled. That kept me from getting in a lot fights that I should have in retrospect defended myself in.

The bullies get a pass with all their sneaky ways of picking on someone while the kids getting picked on only know how to go nuclear on the bully and kick their ass out in the open.

But watch out!!! All the women teachers that dominate the school system nowadays are motherhens that will not tolerate defensive fighting even though bullying goes on under their nose ALL THE TIME!

I think that that's bullshit. I think that people who believe that are too tolerant of abusive, inappropriate behavior. It's classic blame the victim thinking.
