So then what you're proposing seems to be nonsense since the reason that a bully is a bully may not be because of his upbringing but because of his genetic makeup or "randomness". Therefore, all we can do is punish his bad behavior so that other people won't imitate him because regardless of what makes one delinquent soul act out, it has been shown time and again that a general break down in order encourages others to act out (as in the London riots). |
There is no need to punish him. All you need to do is to tell the other pupils that what he did was wrong, and that he did it because he has troubles in his life. He and all his victims are unfortunate, and needs comfort in one way or another.
War breeds war.
