Bullying is a problem everywhere, and I agree that not enough is done by the schools or the teachers to address it. There is a bullying problem in my kids' school and it's never taken seriously. There is also one at my neice's school (in a different place) and again, it's not dealt with. There are many children moving schools because they have been bullied. That is just wrong in my opinion. It is the bullies who should be moved... not the children who have suffered enough.

I teach my children to stand up for themselves so that they wont get bullied. They know how to hit back and how to do it without being seen, because in school the rules say they cant hit back. Well, I beg to differ. I live in a particularly "rough" area, and the only way to deal with some of these little chavs is to hit back!
