Issue of Bullying

So every six months or so our school pulls us from class for a lyceum on bullying that discusses the effects and how to overcome it. I think these are necessary, because bullying is a real problem. But I also think that sometimes people really over-react to little things. If one kid says something insulting to another, it's very likely that the parents will be told and the first child will be in trouble. Even if the words weren't meant to be mean, nothing can be said without people taking it the wrong way. I think there is a line between bullying and a person just having no tact in speaking. Basically, don't bully and don't be an over-reacting tattle tail.
