<p>I come down with TParent on this. We shouldn’t be so PC that adolescence can’t unfold in a normal range (“rough and tumble” behavior, mistakes etc), but I surely want my kid in a school where bullying stands out as odd and unacceptable, and where the bullier is stopped in his or her tracks. And, no offense to Leanid, but to say that bullying only involves the threat of physical harm is just plain wrong; I could see it being the argument of a bullier, the self-rationalization. Emotional bullying is probably more prevalent and equally devastating than physical bullying.</p>
