There's too much cultural baggage (in the United States at least) about bullying for anyone to be able to discuss it rationally. There must be a thousand movies and a million television episodes (most from the 80s) where all sorts of absurd lessons are taught. The bully is misunderstood and bullied himself (not always true), if you stand up for yourself it will stop (never true, often never possible), etc.
