I do not have the answer for that - but I do think it would be a way of making sure the school will do more - far more than they do today - to fight bullying from day one at pre-school, rather than let it go, and experience some of the worst school massacres in the US history - or in many other cases - rage in the school yard when someone get enough... I had, or have a temper even today, that is not good - when I was little, I often got into problems because of a problem with the anger.... And sometimes I even got into fycial altercations because of it - and ended up hurting some of my school yard bullies... I got suspended a couple of times because of it - but I suspect they had it worse, as I really did the job properly.... Today I suspect I would have getting into real problems, specially when I hurt some of them...
The chess game of school yard bullying or bullying in school, is often more advanced the longer up in school you get - in the small grades it tend to be fycial - but later on, it often is more psychological as you point out - and it might hurt far worse being bullied psychological, than if you get a bloody nose.. At least then you can hit back if you dear.... But when you are standing there, in the classroom with 30 others, who gang up on you, and is bullying you with words, and you are not exactly the master of words, in a tight spot, you might end up in tears and more or less go to peaces there, in the room.. At least, it it my experiences about it... I guess it was a lot of "free entertaiment" for the rest of the class, when I more or less was trying not to be known in the class.. I have no clue about how many times I hide in the toilet - to get out of the worst of it... Or was hiding in the library.... The few places at school, I was not in any harm....
