Bullying is a terrible thing, but making it illegal is not the best way to solve the problem. Since bullying happens a lot with children and can have devastating effects on the one who is bullied, the best way to solve the problem is for children to be taught not to bully others when they are young and throughout their years of growing up. Though punishment for bullying is an option, adults should also try to get to the reason the child is bullying and try to help the child resolve the issue. Parents and teachers having no tolerance for bullying of any kind, but handling it with wisdom toward the bullied and the bully, will go a lot farther in stopping it than making it illegal.
