> I believe bullies target what is different. Yeah, that was the reasoning behind school uniforms. A misguided belief that simply normalizing clothing would prevent bullying. But instead all that did was make them focus on something else. Your hair, your skin color, your height, your weight, your voice ... anything. I don't think it'd matter how conformant you got everyone. You have to address the underlying causes and change the mentality, and you also have to increase the severity of punishment for bullying. > Got a birthmark on your face? Boom, you're a target. For me it's a scar. > My kids don't go to a school that accepts bullying. All of mine completely and utterly ignored it. We learned pretty quickly that going to the adults only made matters worse.
