As a former victim of bullying myself, one thing I will never ever understand is how it's not taken more seriously than it is. If an adult experienced just a small percentage of what some kids have to go through at school, it would be considered a crime. So why is it that it's ok when it happens to children? Why are they expected to show up at the place where they get tortured every day and be able to concentrate on their studies? No adult would be expected to do that.
I understand that kids do stupid things sometimes, and that we can't expect them to be perfectly well behaved towards each other. But there should be an obvious difference between kids being kids, and kids torturing other kids physically and emotionally.
It's absolutely horrible to think that the bully in the first story didn't even feel any guilt when she learned that her actions had caused her victim to kill herself.
