I agree with you that zero tolerance is stupid and that victims should be able t fight back. But is there any evidence that bullying is more rampant than ever? All statistics I have seen point to kids being more well behaved, less violence, less drugs, fewer teen pregnancies ect.
I agree that most of those have been decreasing (yay!). Unfortunately, bullying is said to affect 1 in 4 students during their school careers, the highest it's ever been.
