Is Bullying a healthy and natural aspect of life?

[GommeInc]

I find it is completely natural. It's natural to want to better yourself and assert your presence amongst others. Like most things in life, it needs to be taken in moderation (from a personal and external perspective). Bullying is one of those things that will be impossible to regulate and control (hence why no law properly protects against it), but people need to better prepare themselves against it and need to be told of the dangers. I find the school system fails in some respects because teachers cannot get too involved, when really they should as it will save the bully and the victim, though particularly the victim. I find the bully seems to forget all about the bullying they did after they have finished with school, laugh it of or even feel a bit of a twit for doing, but this is just my experience - they enver feel damaged because that isn't the nature of being the transmitter, the bully.

On the other hand, calling kids who commit suicide weak is disgraceful and I doubt the author of that piece would be "brave" enough to say that to the family's face and will continue to hide behind the comfort of a keyboard.

I hate it when people say that. I would say it's a brave and desperate act to commit suicide. I've never quite understood how it can be cowardly when cowardly acts are usually considered something easy we can do. Would we not all be committing suicide when nothing goes easy?
