When the child being bullied is my daughter, I don't think much of the little booger (sorry). I don't think very good thoughts of their parents either because they made the brat.
In general, when my child is not involved, I feel sorry for the little urchin.
btw, I'm refering to the playground bullies.

Schools are making a big deal about bully awareness in the elementary schools. In some districts, they dedicate a whole week for this program so that the children can know when they are being bullied and what to do about it. The earlier they know this the better for the bully and the victim. Bullies usually have a problem at home or are taught this at a young age. In general, part of me feels sorry for them because they don't know any better and part of me thinks that the district should make them accountable for this type of behavior. Nothing seems to be done until someone is seriously hurt and that is the fault of the system. I think the schools should be consistent in the form of punishment for bully's behavior because when they become of age you can be sure the authorities will.

They need to be kicked out of school. High school bullies, who should know better by that age, don't deserve an education, and elementary school bullies should be their parent's problem, rather than the school's, since it's probably the parent's fault that the kid is a bully in the first place. Allowing bullies to remain in school isn't fair to the other kids who are getting bullied.

They've learned that this is a way to get attention, and it works. They get social status among the other kids- even though other kids may not like them, they will go along with them because they're afraid not to.
Unfortunately it's a difficult problem for schools to manage, but some schools don't make it a priority. They should. I went through a period of being bullied when I moved to a new town as a kid- it was miserable.

They need intensive psychological counseling. If they don't get their issues resolved by the time they get into high school, they will either:
1. End up in juvenile detention.
2. Get their butts "whupped" by someone bigger/better/meaner.
3. End up dead (someone will even the score THEIR way ...).
As a teacher for the past 20+ years, I've dealt with my share of bullies: current and reformed.
As a parent, I've also have to deal with this issue from my children's perspective.
*My daughter was bullied by some little gangmember wannabe at the 2nd grade level (no kidding!).
**She dropped him like a sack of potatoes after he finally decided to take a swing at her.
**His little gang buddies then chased my baby across the playground and tried to attack her.
**She dropped them all (five other misguided angels) within about two minutes.
**I would have found this story hard to believe, had I not confirmed this with the administration of her elementary school.
**My daughter was in Fudokan Karate classes for about three years by this time and had been sparring for about one year.

I think if they are physically abusive, etc. and threatening to other students the local law enforcement agencies should be notified. I have seen to much video tape of physical attacks of school children on school buses and school property to know that the laws are being broken and that these bullies have no place with the other children. If they have control issues, let them work them out in a safe place away from the innocent children and stop disrupting the school system with their negative attacks.

They need psychological help. Seriously. They bully because they have so much anger inside, usually from domestic violence, that they need to strike out at someone else. They can't stand the fact that other people are so happy when they feel so miserable. This also applies to gang members, that's why they're so aggressive on the streets and hang out with other guys who feel the way they do. They have "replacement families" in their gangs.

Well, you really want to beat the crap out of them, especially if they are messing with your child. I do think that bullies are in a lot of pain, though. Kids don't just act mean without a reason. Kinda sad...but someone needs to teach them a lesson!
