Took his father's loaded gun to school, to defend himself from bullies... The bulky situation is getting out of hand at schools, a 13 Ur old boy died due to injuries sustained from being bullied just the other day.. This little boy was only 7 yrs old and felt he needed a gun to defend himself. Their is the issue of why hasn't anyone one something to help this little boy and how the hell did he gain access to a fully loaded weapon. Hope his dad loses his licence and firearm and is charged with negligence for the gun and child |

Anti-bullying laws will come into effect here soon, not exactly sure what that entails.. I heard jail terms for 2-3 years? No idea how they intend to enforce this law on minors.

That is ridiculous. I agree that bullying needs to be taken seriously but jailing bullies is not an option imo.

I think child services should be called in, the bully's home life scrutinised and therapy given. . At some stage punishment yes if all else fails but giving a child a criminal record is just not the best of ideas ... Neither is expelling them from further schooling as some are calling for

I think the solution only became that extreme due to inaction, are schools meant to be a place of learning? Or mini petri dish versions of the 'real world'? The 'natural pecking order' approach clearly isn't working.

Bullying is natural and will never be stopped. At least until we live as zombies in science-lab conditions. Which ain't far off. Every species does it, it's a natural survival instinct. I'm sure it can be controlled though, and I think a whole new tactic can be found outside the box - it should be brought to the surface and even used in a subject. Kids need to be educated on it so they understand it. Because often, bullies don't even know why they do it. |

Bullying is kind of character building because in time the victim will fight back and it will make him or her a better person, i remember being 11 ans first at secondary school and got bullied by some older kids, i learnt to fight back, if people just get wrapped in cottom wool their whole lives we will just have a society of weak idiots.

Yeah, you're not really saying anything new there. It's kind of the default approach we are already working with. How is that working out for these kids?

Comes down to upbringing, like many things.

@ shadow27 - 29.09.17 - 11:03am One is dead, the other took a loaded firearm to school. Great character building experiences right there. Mentally unstable though. If it wasn't this reason it would've been another. |
