I agree to a point. However,bullying for any reason is toatally wrong and that is what has to be conveyed here. I find it an unacceptable notion that anyone who is bullied by others would want to inflict the same pain on someone else. In my mind there are too many cases especially those which eventuate in crime, to say that it is a result of bad childhood. As a child grows and becomes an adult their reasoning and view of the world and others changes, so that makes them accountable for their actions.
Yes we can feel sorry for the bully and try to understand and help them but if they refuse to acknowledge the wrongs of their actions, I can only feel sorrow for the pain their deeds inflict on their hapless victims.

I’m sure you are right in a percentage of cases but some kids are spoiled rotten and haven’t learned how to behave toward others. Others do it to impress the in crowd, and some do it in cliques. I think there are many reasons and it all should be dealt with.

We are all children’s futures. We need to give them good examples. Great job!

This is such a good piece. During my teaching years I came across many bullies in the playground and I could guarantee that there was something behind the behaviour. So often they were ill treated at home or saw ill treatment and thought it was the way to behave. I agree we need to look at both sides.
