I say don't make "bullying" a crime, as that is a vague and broad term, that includes things that are petty, to those that are serious.
Kids should be charged with:
Stalking
Harassment
Etc
We should put in a system, for high school, where students can report bullying, school can investigate, and the school can impose a loose restraining order type thing. If the kid reports with evidence, or the school investigates themselves, that the "Bullies" aren't respecting that non-binding/legal order, then they can take it to court, or take further and more serious action.
If the kid suicides before that, then they can bring it up in court and show some concrete or factual proof of what has been occurring.
