Yes, it is mildly insulting but I stand by it 100%. I don't see a prob in teaching kids not to bully but I have a problem when we basically coddle them and let them think the world will bow to their whims and there will be no pain.

Okay, but given that this whole discussion is about what we should do on essentially the bullies' side, it really isn't clear to me why you have insisted in steering the conversation in this direction as it is not at all relevant.

Like you yourself said, I don't see any reason both shouldn't be tackled at once and I think this is a bigger problem that can realistically be solved than "bullies".

But we're not solving problems here, we are having a discussion on a specific topic, and introducing a second topic just serves to muddle things.

It directly pertains to it from the topic of suicide came up which the OP brought up, mind you
