It is the parents of the bullies and the victims that are at fault here (I know we aren't allowed to blame parents...boo). Parenting is about imparting life skills on your kids, something in which they have clearly failed. Could the kid not talk to them? I dont know, anything here would be pure speculation but life can be far worse than bullying ffs. As for the bullies parents theres clearly a failing to impart any sort of morality at all which isnt really acceptable but is becoming more common (?).

End of the day what are you going to do? Throw them in prison? How many people do you think will hire somebody convicted of "bullying"? Probably not many. How many instances of "bullying" do you think it will prevent? The appropriate consequences should have been expulsion a long time before it got this far, this is clearly a school / parent issue as it is not up to the government to expel people.

School ends at 17-18 here, not 16.

School ends around 17-18 in england and aussie too, but you have an option of not continuing on school after grade 10. In England they have something called 6th form after grade 10 which is grade 11/12

What I don't get is why none of these parents who's kids committed suicide, doesn't hunt those motherfuckers down. I'm not a father, but I'm pretty sure if I was being bullied to the point of committing suicide, my dad would make sure those kids would disappear of the face of the Earth.

Life can be far worse than bullying you are correct. All the more reason that it does not give anyone the right to make sure your life is a miserable as they can possibly make it until worse does happen.

At the end of the day what can you do to the bullies? How about credits removed from their classes, so they must repeat required classes, how about lowering GPA's, just for being an asshole, how about detention on weekends and forced to sit through some sort of sensitivity training? I think you should still be able to blame the parents for chronic offenders as well, for them, you can fine them. There are things yo can do without turning bullies into criminals. The one thing that is not acceptable to me, is letting them get away with such behavior.

What do you not understand about subjectivity? If you have been repeatedly bullied at a very sensitive time in your life, made all the worse because you're gay, then that is the worst thing that's happened to them and who are you to pass judgement on how much that affects them. Yes, there are worse things in the world, like child molestation, starvation etc but the kid I'm assuming had no idea about them kinds of things so clearly the bullying affected him in a big way.

The whole "kids are starving in Africa" shit is fucking pointless when you're talking with people with full stomaches and nice computers on a video game forum.

Why should anyone at any age have to "deal with nasty words"?

Typically the perpetrators represent a tiny minority of over-aggressive morons who were never really socialised, why should they be given a free run?

Also, is usmarine's permaban up yet?

Maybe I should go around pushig people over, stealing their wallets and rubbing their faces in dog poo.

If they can't appreciate that I'm in fact doing them a favour by helping them develop a thicker skin they need to man the fuck up or get out of town.
