Back when kids could beat each other up...the bullying was self limiting.

Now bullies are protected and all you can do is kill yourself or others.

Bring back fighting.



With this I can agree.

Used to be a kid get bullied, dad or older bro or someone would take him aside and teach him fisticuffs, or tell him if they are hitting him to pick up a 2x4 or brick and put an end to that crap.

Or the kid obtained a "my Bodyguard" in some manner.

Or the kid went home and studied a bunch, went to college, made a bunch of money and watched the bully work at the local convenience store the until he got caught with his hand in the till and then it was jail time for him (more jail time??)

Like my wife at her HS, the worse at mine was probably someone getting cut. That was always an option when outnumbered and bullied. No one ever felt the need to bring the pistol on the top shelf of the closet, or the old man's shotgun/'06 leaning in the coat closet.
