Its not a lie , bullies don ' t care about actions taken against them and continue bullying . Not only this but many parents now who are even more drugged up and against the law in newer generations and raising even more violent kids to bully even worse than previous ones . What needs to be taught is self defence and motivational lectures about self esteem . What prevents a victim standing up is the view that they are helpless in the first place , more self esteem would benefit . When a teacherparent tells a bully to stop picking on someone , they aren ' t going to go oh yea , fair point , I ' ll stop doing that . they are going to get angry and either threaten the victim even more or tell everyone on social media how much of a weakling the victim is .
