Kids who are bullied are statistically likely to then engage in bullying. Chances are the kid dishing it out in year 7 was taking it in year 6.

How parents and schools respond to these kids can make a difference.

Very worrying that 'gay bashing' seems to be enjoying a come back.

Also very worrying how far 'bullying' actually goes these days. I dunno, when i was a kid bullying was distressing, and sometimes that'd extend to physical stuff, but I don't recall hearing about that many incidents of serious injury or death. That kind of violence was something the nutters got involved in, and could generally be found on football terraces and the town centre on a Friday night.

Some kid at school tells you you're gonna get it at the end of the day: fuck. These days they're probably armed.
