Quote:When it comes to being bullied, in today's day and age, violence for violence does nothing to solve the issue at hand.


Those kids at Columbine were bullied and picked on everyday. And then they decided to retaliate....


Again what did it solve? Innocent people lost their lives because the kids that were being bullied decided to take matters into their own hands instead of taking the proper steps and going thru the right channels to end it. Johnathan Martin and others like him deserve a standing ovation for doing just that.


Its 2013 stop acting like a caveman.

 

I think the main difference is that your example is about kids, and we are talking about adults.  The maturity difference means a lot.

 

I get what you are saying and agree to an extent.  The main reason kids (and in this case adults) are bullied is because they are looked at as weak and that they can not stand up for themselves.  Violence may not be the best way to solve it in most cases, but for those that can stand up to the bullies they really should.  For others, asking friends, teacheers, coaches, peers, etc...for help may be the best way.

 

At some point you have to get a backbone and stand up for yourself.
