I seem to remember plenty of bullying happening around me when I was growing up.

I suppose, I grew up in a different era, when we learned to ignore & cope with negative comments, & learned that other people sometimes just suck. Sticks & stones...

We in society now believe, it is our duty to protect children from hurt feelings & disappointment.

Half of the growth potential of the human existence is wrapped up in the negative things we experience & have opportunity to learn from.

I fear for the kids who go through their youth never experiencing bad things, for their adulthood is going to be filled all the things they never learned to cope with.

If the school were a paid service provider, his family would immediately take its money elsewhere, and so would their friends.
