There's just one small problem though. Kids turn out to be douchebags because of bad parenting. That's the source of the problem. So yes, these kids that are being bullied can stand up and fight but until the root of the problem is addressed, there will always be problems like this.
Kids turns into douchebags because they don't know any better and parenting is not always fully to blame. In the UK and I suspect america too, schools act as nurseries almost or "day-cares" from ages 2-18 or so.
Parents drop the kids off at school and pick them up at the end of the day. By the time we're twenty we've probably spent more time amongst other immature people and teachers who barely have any power but what choice do parents have, money is required for the other parenting responsibilities of providing a roof over-head and regular access to food.
Parenting takes some blame for sure but it's a larger reaching social issue and the schooling system is undeniably flawed anyway. It barely helps you get a job anymore let alone prepare you for one, it's just baby-sitting with exams.
And another thing too. Sometimes, a kid is bullied because he's a d-bag himself. I know at my school, if you were bullied, it was for a good reason.
Lol! So sayeth the bully!
What the fuck is a good reason? Bullying a bully isn't justified, it's just hypocritical and probably just a poorly-formed justification for a clearly inappropriate act(A bad excuse)
By your statement that Bullies are caused by bad parenting coupled with the implication that bullying bullies is okay then aren't you suggesting that it's okay to bully someone if their parents are worse than yours?
