Bullies these days are taking guns to school and shooting people. I 
think we need more training on understanding the other guys point of 
view, on how important diversity is, and on kindness and compassion. 
Kids are tough. They have to deal with all kinds of adult realities 
at much earlier ages than before - drugs in junior high, sexual 
acting out from I think too much exposure by what is portrayed in the 
media, early onset puberty, societal violence so that they are not 
even playing outside in many neighborhoods.  We need health care and 
family stability. Who are the bullies anyhow. Kids who are not 
getting what they need at home and in school to progress successfully.
