I think that they should get suspened....and if it keeps happening to be expelled. Harrasing and Bullying can get very serious. There was a student that did suicide once. It is also hard for the students to pay attention in class. Most students have their grades drop when this is happening to them.

I agree with everyone else - they should definitely be suspended. The thing I find interesting is that people talk about how adults don't "bully" each other (at least not in the extreme ways done in school) and attribute that to "growing up." When in fact it isn't.
Some adults still haven't "grown up," but they don't bully others because they know they'd get into deep trouble. Such as lawsuits, fines, wouldn't be allowed to come into so many feet of the victim, etc...
Children need a same punishment system for bullying as adults have. I'm not saying they should go to jail or be sewed - but definitely suspended for the first offense and possibly expelled from the school for the second.
I, and many others, spend so much time in school worrying about bullies when we could have been spending all of that time studying. I remember when it got so bad that I couldn't even think about school (so I couldn't study) - because I would instantly get depressed over thinking of the bullies I had to encounter.

Yes. Without such immediate and serious repercussion, the school risks sending a signal of apathy or acceptance. Then the problem can rapidly escalate. Bullying and harassing behavior is absolutely becoming a grave social issue in the US and since many parents do not take responsibility for raising their children properly, then the school must take appropriate action.

Yes depending on the severity of the bullying/ harassing and the length of the suspension. I only think they shoudl be expelled if its a perpetual offense occuring over and over that is making it hard for other students to come to school on a regular basis. Once someone is interfering with the educatoin of another student, I think their rights to be going to the school should be taken away. ( for the protection of the general student population)

Very good question. I dont think they should be expelled...but definatly suspended. Where I go to school, if you get into a fight on the campus then you get arrested AND suspended. Getting suspended is MUCH better then getting arrested and having a record. DRAMA sure is a ***** but karmas 2x worse.

Yes. Suspended on the first offense....expelled for the 2nd. Permanently.

Very much so, and suspension on the first offense is the best way to start. Increase the length of suspension for each subsequent offence. Expel after three offences, or if there was significant physical injury even on the first offence.

Nope -get'em ready for the real world.....no repercussions,though - for the weak striking back. Bullies quickly learn that there is always someone bigger, stronger,smarter - suspensions only reinforce their illusion of supremacy...while an older brother or bigger friend of yours sends a more realistic message. Bullies understand one thing - might.
Or you could turn the other cheek.

Yep and start teaching them at a young age. When I was in grade school I used to think it was fun to beat up on bullies and embarrass them in front of their friends and classmates since the school would not do anything about it.

Yes I do. I thought they were already.
I graduated in 85 and several people were suspended for bullying and harassing. I think every school system is different.
