Before I post this, please note that I am a professional mediator and have taught peaceful conflict resolution to children. But here I am talking about bullying. Bullying is different. It is often a violent emotional or physical abuse, not a conflict to resolve.
I read so many posts about how children who experience bullying can reason and rationalize their way to peace and harmony.
Why is fighting back so evil? We're creating a nation of victims based on a false philosophy that we can stop bullying and make childhood threat free. The overthinking we have done on this topic and the patronizing social engineering served up in book after book is victim culture at its worst.
Every child trained to reason and not back it up with strength is another victim who will grow up to engineer a society without freedom, pain, or joy. We're losing ourselves at the most basic level. It sickens me.
