Most bullying that I hear people complaining about is name calling now yes in a class room you can put a stop to that but that is not where kids do it. They do it out in public or in their own homes. You can't stop name calling without attacking free speech so if you ask me that right there is setting up a police state.

I mean how long before it is decided that anyone who says anything negative about the president is bullying him and then it becomes a crime to not support the president?  Don't tell me it couldn't happen because if the president says people are hurting his feelings isn't he being bullied and why shouldn't those mean people be made to stop? There is no reason it couldn't go that far at some point so I say let's not even go down that road.

Not to mention that unless you have the government watching everything everyone thinks says or does how do you catch bullies in anything other then a "he said she said" type of situation where there is no proof one way or the other?  Again this crosses the line into a police state and it is a place I never want to go.

Oh and if you think it was easy for me to learn how to deal with bullies you should talk to me mom about the number of times I came home crying but I learned that they couldn't make me change and they couldn't control my life so they had no real power and were just frittering away their own lives that could be spent doing something better.
