On the View today Christ Rock said that Bullies are essential for society. Not in those exact words but that was the meaning. He says without bullies we would not learn how to overcome things, and that bullies push us to be better and stronger. He has a point. What do you think about this?

It's a good point. But, I think that bullies and bullying shouldn't even exist. Sometimes bullying ends with people murdered.

That is a good point too, sometimes bullying goes too far and some kids can't overcome it and end up killing themselves.

I don't believe this at all. There are many kids who don't get bullied and still are pushed to do better and be stronger in their lives. I wish to God that bullies would be stopped in each school. They cause fear and at times sucide which is unforgiveable. So I do truly believe that if there is a bully in a school they need to get him out of that school and put into a boarding or a military type school where they will learn to be law abiding citizen one day and not punks when they are grown.

Maybe society would be better if they did this.

life is to learn and move forward hardship and challenges in life are meant to teach us so that we grow to be a better person doesn't mean that we should allow bullying and becoming bully to teach someone so bullying and any types of negativity are not essential or necessary if it's true then there is no reason for law against harassment etc because bullying is also harassment in a way after all, teaching someone has nothing to do with bullying them it will be dangerous for the bullies themselves anyway (if the bullied fights back violently) although of course, I couldn't care less what happens to bullies LOL I'd say bullies only get back what they send out

I think he's wrong, because what makes a bully? A bully is someone who is not treated well himself, so he/she takes it out on someone else..Sounds like a vicious cycle that needs to be broken..

Good point. I think in some cases kids can be made stronger by overcoming a bully, but in most cases it just kind of hurts people for their entire lives.

To me I hope he made that comment as a joke because I know he knows that bulling is no joke that is the kind of tactics that the mafia use to get their wants and desires met through bulling and intimidation.The people that are effected by the bulling the most is the ones who are faced with it at the school and wnen they get back home in their own communities and neiborhoods that is not helping or inspiring them to be better and stronger what will happen is the realization of if I cant beat them then I'll join them or they can say I have to be like The Movie about Michael Moore knowing you do not want to end up in prison and keep trying to do the right thing and hope that someone would care enough in this world and give me a fighting chance to succeed and be a winner in life and not a bully and a thug.

Bullying is something that I believe should not exist. They don't push people to be stronger, they push people to lose will to live. I don't believe in any way are bullies useful to society. I am still in school and I don't know a single person who has benefited from being bullied aside from becoming outcasts or completely unhealthy looking because they try to make themselves fit in.

I think it's a great pointy, and I very much I agree with it. Bullying may be cruel, but without it life would be too easy and too good, and get really boring. Life wouldn't be life without difficulties.
