Everything is "bullying" nowadays. It is the umbrella term for "normal conflict", whether it's between siblings or rival schoolkids. I was bullied A LOT as a kid. My detractors may argue that it has made me the fuckup I am today. Others may argue that it has made me capable of enduring all the hell that life has thrown my way.

Bullying is entirely different. It's just one sided torment, that can last for many years of school. It can only take away from a childs character. Supporting bullying is pretty sadistic and I don't see how any parent would. Also Joe, I think the direct cause of bullying is bad or lazy parenting not the lack of corporal punishment.

Pity. The current bullying issue across this country is the direct result of the strap (yes corporal punishment)being taken from elementary school principals.

Siblings fight and argue, and as hard as it is, a parent needs to stay out of it (unless it gets violent or crosses the line). Arguing, fighting, and yes, even being on the receiving end of bullying teaches many valuable lessons and also builds character. It’s the same thing with parenting.
