If you bully adults, it's called "harassment" or "assault and battery". Why shouldn't kids be entitled to the protection of the laws?
Bullying a great way to thin out the herd. The people who take it with a grain of salt and forget about it tend to be more successful. The ones who sit there and take it and cry like a little bitch end up in cubicals typing away. Even if those type of kids were homeschooled they would just as miserable and lonely.
Realize that some bullying isn't caused by an abusive family life and insecurity any more. It comes from overconfidence and being pampered little cunts who've lucked out in every aspect. They aren't popular because they bully, they bully because they're popular. Most school bullies are part of the "in-crowd". "In-crowd" teens are teens who come from upper-middle class families, or participate in high school sports.
Everytime we have a school shooting, things always gets worse for the people who are social outcasts of peer society. Take Columbine. Instead of dealing with the root causes of high school bullying, they gone after the potential victims of bullying: the geeks, nerds, and other people who do not fit in. This forced forced some of them to drop out of high school in favor of a GED.
I was never really bullied (seniors taking my lunch money isn't really a bully to me), and I don't understand why. I was a pretty skinny, small kid, and I acted like a total idiot throughout middle school and high school. Why would I want the respect of high school losers who'll be popping out babies the year after they graduate when I could have the respect of colleagues ten years down the line when I'm making shitloads of cash by being a doctor, lawyer, entrepreneur etc? Who gives a shit, they're losers anyway, and getting suspended for "fighting" or whatever isn't worth potentially shattering your chances at a decent future.

Overall, I think bullying is just a fact of life, and no amount of teachers or rules or anything is going to help it or stop it. If you want protection, you gotta do it yourself.
What the news didn't say is that she was new to the school and had already slept with four of the popular guys there. Four guys. So a group of girls called her a whore on Facebook, and one threw a redbull can at her. What did she expect?
