Yet if kids do these things, it's "part of growing up", and it "builds character". Fuck it. I've been bullied when I was young, and I still have to deal with the emotional and psychological problems. If I ever get a kid, and (s)he is bullied, you can expect some serious problems for those bullies and their parents, because *I* will not accept it. I want my kids to grow up in a loving, caring environment; I don't want them to be afraid to go outside, because some bastard kid wants to hurt them.

the big problem with that attitude is that sadly noone outside someones friends and immediate family gives a fuck about them. If my child was caught up in any sort of bullying i would expect him or her to take care of it themselves.
Perhaps its a good thing i don't have kids.
