Name calling is hardly bullying. If there's something going on at school that continues at home trough the internet it's a different matter, but that still leaves a block button on everything those people can use to reach you.

Bullying is like everything else in school, a learning experience. It teaches you how the real world works and you can either be overrun by it or stand up to it. A broken nose will sort a bully out right quick, trust me. That's why I said it builds character. It gives someone the experience they need to handle the same type of shit faced in the real world. You know, the place where parents and teachers don't come to your aid when someone calls you a loser.

I've been bullied for the better part of my life so I know exactly what what it is. It taught me people can be and often are assholes. It taught me that people act tough in a group and are pissing their pants when you confront them alone. It taught me that relying on someone else like the teachers or the police to fix it for you will leave you severely disappointed. And most important it taught me that the world is not a fair place and that you sometimes have to do things yourself.

Those are very valuable lessons to me and I don't know if I would have gotten those lessons any other way. Those experiences shaped me into the person I am today, so I wouldn't want to miss them for anything.

Creating a law against any kind of bullying won't fix anything. The most it will do is teach kids that laws are hardly ever respected, which is probably the only positive thing to come out of something like this.
