The current and ongoing discussion about “bullying” is just one more example of out of control, inept government invading your life. (They are not able to do the job they are charged to do, so they find all these little diversions to make it look like they really have something to do.)
Every kid has been “bullied” at some time, or perhaps many times, during his or her school career, from kindergarten through high school and beyond. And for the most part it is merely a learning experience with many lessons about life.
We all have our limitations, weaknesses and strengths. And, along the way, we learn who among us is smarter, bigger, stronger, faster, and, well, better. We also learn who is weaker, less intelligent, smaller, slower, and so on. The way we learn these things is through interaction with all the different kinds of people during our formative years.
All these experiences, good and bad, help us to know where we are in this scheme. An example might be the 10 or 15 kids on a ball field choosing up sides for a baseball game. Almost everyone there knows who’s going to be chosen first and who’s going to be chosen last. Most of them are somewhere in the middle and are happy just to be chosen. And, they know that it goes right back to the bigger, stronger, faster thing. The things we can’t control. Out of that same group of kids, there will be a couple who everyone knows can and will perform beyond their physical expectations.
Leave kids alone and they will find their own level, find their own place.
Only in the rare extreme cases should the heavy handed bureaucrats get involved.
