Now add to the mix new research that tells us that kids who attend day care are more aggressive. No surprise there. If I were a little kid and the people I needed and trusted most in the world sent me away from 6 to 6 every day, I'd be angry, too. And yet, more kids spend their lives in day care than ever before. So you see, society has created the era of the bully.
Bullies seem to be the common factor in recent school shootings.
The infamous gunmen, however, were not the bullies themselves but the victims of bullies. They were picked on and teased incessantly, and they didn't know how to cope. Ultimately, they had huge tantrums with deadly weapons. In today's America, we teach kids not to fight for any reason. The bullies are the kids who haven't bought that line.
