You want to teach people to wall out feelings rather than disuade then from being aggressors ??????????
Wow. We truly are going backwards

It is sad that we have to, but we do. When it comes to "dissuading people from being aggressors" it simply does not work. There are always going to be bullies they are always going to attack other kids. What I'm saying is we need to educate kids on how to deal with it. At least that will help them live a happier life than futilely telling a bully not to be a bully.

It depends where you live. In my area never heard racial slurs and we are a mixed community. Half asian Half mexican. Very few whites and the blacks here are nothing like the stereotypes. My classmates once did a campaign to end the use of "retarded" as an insult even and it worked to what ive seen. I'm sure there was bullying somewhere somehow but it definitely wasn't prevalent. Work in your area to improve it. We aren't a wealthy community either.

And obviously saying a blanket statement about everyone is not effective either, I get that. Maybe in your area you say "don't bully" and people won't. But I'm in a fairly average area with a fairly average class size. We've done campaign after campaign and I've watched failure after failure and I realized something: we are getting nothing done. All we are doing is letting kids get hurt while we boost our own morale thinking we are making a difference. That is what I'm saying, anti-bullying often times does not work and in those situations schools need to stop fooling themselves and start doing something constructive for kids.
