what exactly did they do?

what exactly did they do?
One threatened to run someone over with a truck
Two slapped an older kid on the bus for about twenty minutes
(the older kid was smart enough to block and push them away)
And another one got into a fight

Eh, that's pretty reasonable, seeing how it's physical and all.

None of those are bullying theyre all some form of assault <.<

state's too dumb to differentiate

The way I've always looked at this stuff, if the 'victim' is so much of a pusillanimous individual that they can't handle themselves because they 'got bullied, boo hoo,' then they should just get the forget out and never come back.

True. But if they're actually hurting the kid and getting away with it, then they do deserve prosecution.

Yeah thats when the kid gets someone to forget up his 'harasser,' honestly that's what the police do in the situation. They're there for payback.


It should be the parent's job to make sure their children aren't pussies
It should be the parent's job to make sure their kids aren't bullies. It should be their job to teach them to be respect and kind by setting an example and emulating that behavior themselves. And it should be the child's job, at no matter what age, to be empathetic to the fact that there are other people in the world and who you speak with and what you do to them will effect them regardless of how small or big and if it be good or bad. They should realize they don't always understand everything that a person goes through and that the hardships they deal with in their own life may only be worsened by whatever actions someone may do.

That being said, these laws do seem a bit...extreme. There really isn't much that can be done about "bullying" from a legal perspective, per se, as it lies in the culture and the individual. People have to be taught and treated differently, they won't change solely because their is some vague threat hanging over them that may or may not do anything.

And at North Hunterdon High School, students will be told that there is no such thing as an innocent bystander when it comes to bullying: if they see it, they have a responsibility to try to stop it.

This better not effect other schools in NJ. If I don't want get involved in some other kid's problems then I don't loving have to.

ahahaha

why do people even find bullies intimidating? most of them have problems, and have no talent.

inferior beings with no purpose.

i think bullying should be solved in cage matches. the kid being bullied is given a dagger and the bully given a kitchen knife, dude to the obvious superiority of the bully. the match is televised and the winner gets a bag of gold.

I think schools shouldnt get involved and if it's that big of a loving problem then the kids can call the police themselves.
