Two Gay Men Raised A Baby And This Is What They Got

22. Escalation isn’t the answer. It does feel good when the big guy linebacker is on your side

but unfortunately that epitomizes the bullying problem. Bullying on the side of goodness is still bullying.

I see bullying as a huge problem. Our movies and video games are full of it. All we have to do is rationalize that the bullying is on the good side and it’s ok. Dirty Harry is a good bully, right?

I would much rather the note say, “Dear bullies, if you are going to pick on “Jimmy”, then you will have to pick on all of us. Signed by "jimmy's" fellow students”. Bullies are enabled by both active and passive behavior by the rest of us. Most victims stand alone.

What happens if the linebacker beats up the two bullies? Will it end there? Will the bullies have learned their lesson? or will they have learned about further escalation and bring a gun to school?

We have bullying right here in DU City. If someone posts something unpopular, although some might be polite and try to discuss, others will try to belittle and intimidate. I know, I catch myself doing it all the time, but I am getting better.
