I don't condone bullying before anyone assumes I am but I want to know, you were a teenager being bullied in highschool (some of you are I know) would you rather them be teenagers of 50 years ago when the Bible and prayer were part of every day school activity or teens of today who have none of that?

I'm glad I was a teenager in the old days. I was bullied and hazed quite a bit, but I was immature and sort of a nerd.
Nowadays, as a result of the Bible and prayer being out of school, the kids are much more violent, and we can't go to the parents of the bullies because they are probably bullies themselves.

It makes no difference whatsoever. What makes you think that putting the Bible into schools would mean that the children attending those schools would actually live their lives according to the principles taught in the Bible?
I was bullied in school, and I'll admit it was my own fault for not standing up for myself. But I will point out that several of the bullies were Christian kids from Christian families.
If you have hatred and you are looking for someone weak to take it out on, the Bible will not stop you (even if you claim to follow it).

I'm hardly in school (wasn't in school 50 yrs ago either)... but I would pick the one's of today. A bully is a bully.... doesn't matter if prayer is in the school or not.

Dear Brad,
I know this is hard for you, but your father and I think it's best that you and Angie and those kids stay away for a while. Thank you for paying for the professional cleaning of the sofa, but we cannot tolerate the grape juice sippy cups anymore.
Call us when you get married and divorced, or when the children are 18+
Love,
Mom.

Are you honestly implying that bullies didn't exist until they took religion out of schools? That's entirely false.

No one. It doesn't make any difference. Bullys are idiots- regardless of the era. And the damage they do is the same.

From the 40's when gun control was also more appropriately enforced.
