There were absolutely no consequences for the bad kids, but I got in trouble if I did ANYTHING whatsoever to defend myself. If the kids have no fear of consequences, they have no reason to stop terrorizing their peers.
The teachers can't stop bullying. They punish the wrong kids with detention or suspension. There was a story a few years ago (which was covered here on DU) where a bully was stabbed to death by the kid he wanted to beat up. If the bully had other punishments put on him beforehand, maybe it wouldn't have escalated to that point.
