Why are bullies not punished sufficiently, just read some kids cause coma on some other kid after beating him up
In my old school, if you bug someone like that you will be expelled and there'd be plenty to take your place. hell, for something like that, you should be sent to juvi jail?
I dont see why they're treated like babies, they're a menace.

It depends on the offense really, a lot of times bullies arent punished or even found for that matter, and a lot of times the person bullied doesnt speak up for themselves.

Because execution is frowned upon these days, and we're too soft. From what I remember at my high school, all that bullies had to do was say a half-hearted apology and they were done with it. Even if the bullied student's parents intervened, the school defended the bully like it was them.

Because if you talk to a teacher, it gets worse, cause you 'snitched'
You can't ignore them, cause they'll get pissed off and hit you harder
You are pretty much left with sticking up for yourself, and beating their scrawny asses.
Well, depends really. Each of those situations can vary. You can find that if you tell, it stops, you can find if you ignore them it stops, you can find if you retaliate, it gets worse.

and this weird crap on why schools have to bow down to these parents, it just becomes an extension of 'bad parenting' since the parents almost basically run it. and it even extends to that too, between parents - bully parents vs normal parents

Last time I heard anything about a bully on the news, a teacher lined up all the kids in front of the bully and they all slapped him once. The bully's mom was angry at the incident, but I wonder, was she also angry about the kids her son bullied? It's all fun and games when your kids bully others, but a tragedy when theirs gets bullied.

Kids need to learn to stand up for themselves. Of course, that didn't work out too well for me when I beat the crap out of kids who bullied me. Multiple times.

Just get a hacksaw, cut yourself a piece of lead pipe about 10 inches in length and stick it in your backpack. That's what I did when I had bully problems. You don't even have to hit em with it, just pull it out. I bet they wont fuck with you ever again afterwards.

It's a bit of a double-edged sword here; kids are encouraged to speak up to teachers when they get bullied, but that may make things worse if the teachers do shit all about it and the kid who told the teacher is usually then labelled as a snitch. Bullying is a traumatic thing, especially if the kid feels powerless against multiple bullies.

I do think bullies don't get harsher punishments. One person I knew was being a total nuisance in classes and in public. One time he even used the deodorant can to use as a mini flame thrower to burn the hair off a girls hand, while in school uniform on a public bus. Major problem was that the school gave him an option whether to leave the school or not. Like WTF, just kick his ass out of here. And all he got was a lecture and a three day suspension. Sometimes I wish physical punishment was still around, because talking just wont cut it. Lectures can be ignored and physical punishments cannot.

Several things:
1. It is absolutely vital for children and adolescents to develop enough self esteem and thick skin, in order to be able to withstand the assholes of the adult world. Without any form of adversity or push-back from their peers, they're going to be squishy and useless in their adult lives.
This is not to be confused with 'Let kids beat the shit out of each other, and whoever is left standing, is clearly going to be successful.' - Parents should obviously intervene if their kid gets put in the hospital, or is severely injured.
Coming home with 'Some guy called me a 'faggot' and pushed me into the locker today'. Is not the same thing. Kids need to feel empowered and strong enough to face down their attackers, stand their ground, and ultimately learn how to protect themselves. When they leave the house, you can no longer do that for them. If they never learn, they'll never survive.
2. In the case of severe bullying, there's not a lot you can do. You can try anger management, look into the child's background and family life, suggest therapy/counseling, but only so much can be done to actually -end- bullying, as the number one cause of bullying is domestic abuse. Children tend to develop a predatory instinct as a way to mask their inner feeling of being a victim.
You could herd up all the bullies and abusers in the world, throw them all in jail, but there will always be mentally ill individuals who deflect their victimization onto someone else, and hurt a weaker person.
We need to stop thinking of ways to 'punish' these individuals, and spend more time thinking about the root causes of these behaviors, and devise a way to address them head-on.
Unfortunately, domestic abuse is an extremely difficult issue to really 'fix', as you can't really 'prevent' it, you can only address the problems when they come to light. Jail-time, Juvenile detention, and other forms of 'penalty' are not going to, in any way, fix the issue of bullying and abuse. These issues are hugely psychological and need to be handled with utmost care.

Because often what they do is not against the law (until things get physical, there's a ton of room for variation).

Natural pecking order. Tests and reveals a persons mettle.
Some put up with it and shrug it off, others crack and break, some kinda do both.
Whatever the case, it's not something that can ever be stopped. People are gonna try to fit in, or show off, or one-up each other. And who knows whatever else may be going on to lead them towards such behaviour.
I was shunned for being a racial minority. My gradeschool friends ditched me in their promotion to the "cool" crowd and I became an emotionally unstable wrecking ball of violent outbursts and wanton destruction (which did not help me in any way whatsoever).
It wouldn't be until grade 9 before anyone even talked to me.
Eventually, they got bored of bullying me, and some even apologised and became friends again. Throughout the courses of grades 10 and 11, I was moderately accepted into the "cool" gang (as long as one of the cool kids said it was OK for me to be around).
10 years later and some of my best friends are actually some of the most hardcore delinquents from way back when. Whilst I'm actually now fairly popular within my own circle (formed back in college).

Bullied for 8 freaking years, even the freaking teachers where assholes. So one day in the class room, i snapped and tried to kill one off the bullies with my chair. (At this time i was fourteen). The bully survived and was in the hospital for some time. While i had to go see a freaking shrink and find a new school. The new school was much better, i had a lot of friends there and there was no bullying aside from some pranks. The shrink just babbled nonsense for weeks.
From my point of view, i can say that bullying is useless. The stand up for yourself thing is almost useless. The only time that will work is when you were not getting bullied at all, they where just making fun of you. Most bullies carry knives with them, or at least those i knew. So punching them means some one is getting in the hospital.

I never really had a bully in my life, there was this one guy who tried to be my bully but .. well .. I am born in an Albanian family and belong in a long line of aggressive family .. so you get the rest.
People had made fun of me though, but it didn't make me snap, made me sad, but I knew my strength was too great though. I did however protect others from bullies ... I don't like that shit happening around my presence .. have a strong sense of justice and plus my inner demon tingles when dealing with other demons.
