Bullying will only be stopped when the bully is 'cured'. The bully can only be 'cured' when his most fundamental anti-social motivation is identified and replaced with an equally satisfying motivation that is socially approved. Moreover it has yet to be recognized that the bully is in large part not in control of his bullhying behavior, and therefore would have a very difficult time changing it, even if he wanted to. The solution is the following: 1. Recognition that the bully bullies to feel good because he doesn't feel good about himself. 2. Understanding that one can 'feel good' by committing any one of the 7 cardinal sins, one of which is the exercise of anger which translates into bullying. 3. Understanding that one can only 'feel good about oneself ' by practicing one or more of the so-called seven heavenly virtues. 4. Learning the way to make the bully understand the difference, make him feel good about himself and thus turn him from bullying to protecting victims. It's not that complicated and it's all in an eBook I just wrote called Bullying Cure available at bullyingcure.com In fact all other alleged 'cures' do no more than attempt to control the overt observable behavior of the bully. That does no more than scotch the bullying snake. I aspire to cure the bully and make nhim a happier well adjusted contributing member of society, adn in passing make sure he doesn't wind up in jail With all due respect I disagree with your views.

She also lived soccer, she also had a knee injury (two, actually), and she was also very sad and disappointed for a while. But with the support of family and friends and her own will and positive outlook, she is on her way to a Ph.D. in bio-engineering, helping people with all kinds of mental and physical disabilities. Best to you! -Judy Hi Ed,
