The classic sense that the bully is a criminal and the the victim is just a victim is flawed in my opinion. The bullier is often only a bully in order to jump in the social heirarchy, and they often do this becuase they had been bullied themeselves. Its a give and take relationship, I think we need to crackdown on bullying but over-the-top punishment is not the answer, and it is not just the victim that needs help. Thoughts?
