I made 1/2 of my class stay in while I gave them a speech I had worked on all weekend after a student asked me why she had to live during lunch break on a Fri at my school. I made them cry which was very satisfying. The bullying stopped immediately. The parents knew their kids were bullying her yet did nothing (I found this out later during parent/teacher conferences).
