but being a victim of bullying doesn't make you a martyr--it usually just means you've had a typical childhood.
So you think children suffering is typical/normal and shouldn't be changed...

No child should suffer physical abuse. However, if you raise kids in a phony, wussy environment, they're going to get eaten alive when they enter the real world. There are hundreds of examples of this throughout the history of the world--aristocratic kids raised in a false-paradise where their every vice was celebrated. When they got to be the rulers of the nation, bad things tended to happen....
And I say this as someone who got pushed around a bit as a kid--and learned how to not only survive, but thrive in such an envirnoment without turning into a bully myself.
