You say that your dad grew up fine and he went through bullying.
Just becuase you get bullied, dosen't mean that you won't grow up good. Actually, usually the people that get bullied are the nicest of people.

My science teacher is VERY strict about bullying. She has a serious talk with us saying that she was made fun of so much about her being fat when she was younger that she would not talk to anyone and go home each day and throw up. I think thats wrong.

Sometimes bullying goes too far, meaning that the person bullied or the bullier (I think thats a word) eventually kill someone. I don't think thats the write thing to do, but it pushes people to do something that they would normally not want to do.

In the end bullying should not be fun or FUNNY. That is just really low. Whats is so funny about making someones life a living hell. How would get pleasure from torturing people mentaly or physically just becuase of there look, race, or popularity. It just makes me so mad when I see someone bullying someone. It's wrong and Id ont see why anyone would want to do that. The only thing that I could think is that kids are thinking "Hey I'm stronger and dominant and I can beat up kids." Your insecurity is nothing to be proud of.

Anyways, bullying is bad no matter how much you argue.
