Is bullying acceptable?

[asouthwoldmummy]

I heard somewhere that over 60% of children are bullied at some point, and 6 children in the UK commit suicide each year due to bullying. I just wondered what everyone's views are on bullying. Is it unacceptable behaviour or just something our DC's have to put up with like we did?

Bullying is often not picked up on and when the parents do pick up on it the next task is to convince the teachers which in my experience want to deny it ever goes on!
