There were alot of different opinions and so I'll ask that you excuse the fact I don't use one to base my opinion on. I guess because I just don't get who makes a victim but I think I have a good idea at whose feet the blame of bullying should be laid.
I have never been bullied in school and not because I am a strong person. It just never was something I thought about. I was thought of as shy,reserved and by highschool I could set in with the crowd smoking at the gate but mingled with what we called the socialites.
I actually never knew there were people who could actually not like my flavor of ice cream until I was 28.
Ignorance is bliss I guess.
I do know that some kids in special needs classes get bullied. These days to retaliate with violence causes an incarceration for the victim.
I wish sometimes the boys would be allowed to duke it out since it's what they have been doing since the beginning of time and in preventing a fair retaliation breeds an enviroment more ripe for the bully to do his thing.
I am still ignorant of this bully/victim thing as far as school goes.
I have though come to the conclusion that cyber bullying might be a thing ones draws to oneself out of the inability of some to moderate their thoughts. * points to self*
That said the tragic death of the girl who was targeted was a different kind of cyber -bullying.
[edit- I've been up all night so I am not really sure what I even said makes sense(lol)so if it doesn't make sense, oh well and sorry for that
