Bullying is a part of the human condition. Always has been, always will.
There is no way to stop it, you can only lessen the frequency and severity. It is a part of “coming of age”.
Part of it is examples set by their parents, others is the natural desire to see where one stands in the social structure.
Bullying shows up in group situations where there is no escape open to the victim, for example, prison and children in compulsory-attendance schools.
In adult life, people move, find a new job, file felony charges, or win millions in lawsuits.
There is no way to stop it, you can only lessen the frequency and severity. It is a part of coming of age.
Bullying is like any kind of crime--we can't stop it, but that doesn't mean we should just throw our hands up and not even try.
