I enjoyed reading about Australia who propose 10 year prison for bullying at work, I think this would be a great idea for schools as well. Not prison for the bullying schoolkids but maybe they can be placed in different job-situations. Helping elders, centers for asylum applyers etc.
I think the era of talking is over, if we don’t start to punish the bullyers things will get out of hand, we don’t want the victims to beat up the bullyers even though its tempting to support it.
