Indeed, many Canadians cited in the article feel that "meanness" and bullying should be an arresting offense but Geise asks the obvious question of whether/how adults are held to the same standard and of course they are not. Another point made by Geise in this report is where bullies learn such deplorable behavior and that would obviously be from the adults in the education system or elsewhere.

It is during Middle School that this first becomes a social ideal.."..Studies indicate that starting in middle school, bullies are considered 'cool,' while their victims are rejected from the social milieu." (Smith-Heavenrich) Early adolescence is when the competitive, cutthroat mindset begins to emerge in the form of bullying. Statistically, bullying is staggering. Half of all violence against teenagers occurs not on the streets or at home, but on school property,
Bullying and Cyber Bullying at Schools The pervasive culture of bullying and cyber bullying in schools has become a serious dilemma for many students and parents, and has been brought on by many different aspects of life, but how does the violence that children are exposed to in video games come into play when it comes to children bullying others both online and in person?

Peters suggests that a no-nonsense and zero-tolerance approach to implicit tolerance and emphasizes the need to pursue complaints as far up the school administration chain of command as necessary to achieve results.
