How can anyone defend picking on a kid for liking a TV show?

See post 88. Excellent commentary. And other posts by myself and others support bullying.
Does that makes us mean, cruel bullies ourselves? By no means. We simply see Society correcting a child and setting him or her on a path to being a healthy happy adult as a normal thing to do. Its not always easy or fun. Sometimes there will be insults and tears; but the results are worth it.
Kids should be pressured to conform to groupthink? Every one must like the same TV shows, the same music, the same movies? And do what everybody else does? Kids who have cooties must just learn to not have cooties? I don’t think that’s a conservative position at all.
