Bullying is a good thing

I am a supporter of traditional bullying; things like name calling and locking in lockers and wedgies. This is different than some modern bullying, like hacking into someone's phone and sharing their nudes with the entire school; as that is clearly on a different level.

But I believe that for children, bullying helps teach them ways to cope with those types of people and toughens them up as people. Kids who get bullied should learn how to block out negative influences and to have thick skin; and eventually to stand up and do something to stop it, providing a life lesson and strengthening them as a person.

Trying to protect kids from bullies or stop bullying from happening (which will never work) just teaches kids to be victims, which creates weak adults. These victim children turn into adults that can't stand up for themselves to a boss or assertive co-worker, and continue to play the victim their entire lives instead of achieving personal growth.

Speaking of adults, adult bullying doesn't exist. Once you're an adult you are capable of figuring out how to either stand up to the person or find a way to remove yourself from the situation. Bullying is term for children and doesn't apply to adults, in the same way an adult wouldn't call someone they're interested in their "crush".

And for the record, I was bullied for being overweight most of my life. This opinion comes from my own ability to learn to cope with these "bullies".

TL;DR: bullying makes kids stronger and teaches them not to act like victims their entire lives
