Because you are not elimating the problem just one cause. People will encounter other similiar situations in the future. If someone is not trained emotionally to deal with these events you are harming that person.

It's not about the hurt feelings as much as the social ostracizing and resulting loss of opportunities and friendships, not to mention that bullies often inflict actual physical violence.

An adult is going to have very few instances where they are forced to spend hours of time around their abuser(s) relative to a child in school. "Training" someone to deal with being regularly bullied just means adding abuse from another direction, to me.

  I’d like to see the statistics on childhood bullying rising to the level of “abusive” versus, say, workplace harassment. I find your comment saying that serious childhood bullying is more prevalent than abuse difficult to believe.

It's like getting kicked in the balls to train oneself before a fight. It doesn't train for anything, it's just pure meaningless suffering. A kid doesn't have the mental toolset to deal with being bullied. Heck, even an adult can't be expected to deal with everything. That's why we have laws against mobbing, harassment and stalking.

Trained emotionally or desensitized? Are there any side effects from this training? What if it reduces empathy or causes you become more aggressive. It seems odd if you become immune to constant emotional attacks it would have no other negative effects on your mental well being. Bullying in adulthood isn't as intense as well in most situations. If someone at work came up to me, pushed me, and told me to kill myself they would be fired. You might think bullying as an adult involves situations where you get over charged by a plumber or you aren't that aggressive at work so you don't that promotion. I'll admit this does happen but for the most part people who are professional and mature succeed and aggressive behavior is also wrong.
