More Evidence of the Harm of Bullying

I think our society needs to move past the idea that bullying is a natural and inevitable process of growing up that we must all get over (or respond to with violence). Whether it’s natural or not is besides the point: it does considerable social and psychological harm, and that’s reason enough to take it more seriously. As for how we should go about dealing with it…that, like all social issues, is a complex and multidimensional problem.
