*Bullying is a whole different level. Most of the time, the bully doesn't even care that he/she is hurting other people. Their parents could give a damn either, and they'll be like, "Oh you're kid should be able to handle it!" or "It's all in good fun!". These are the parents that inavertly allow bullying. They don't care unless it happens to their kids, then they will raise all hell. *
*Kids always compete, but now? It's getting worse because society is slowly being desensitized to anything that concerns empathy, or other people's emotions. *
If I'm correct, Pakistan will do nothing about bullying in schools and it will get worse as time goes on.
*The best a parent could do is to surround thier child with loving, caring people, so their self esteem will not be that shot. They need to enstill good morals in their kids so they know it's okay if you don't have everything the other kids have. They need to teach them to be good Muslims that have strong wills and strong character. You can't stop bullying no matter how hard you try. But you can teach your child to stand up for himself. *
There was a girl who got bullied so bad once that she took a gun to school and her plan was to kill her self. So she get's up in front of the class in which her tormenters were in too, takes the gu, and points it at her own head. The main bullier, a "popular" girl laughed, freakin' laughed at the girl who was holding a gun to her own head! The first girl turned the gun to the 'preppy' and shot her then! The thing is, the people that get bullied to this point are always blamed! Everyone turns a blind eye to the bullying. Then there was Columbine. That was also the result of extreme bullying that administrators turned a blind eye on.
Unfortunately, it may come to this point. But parents need to stop it before it gets there by showing their kids that they are not alone and that they have people who love them.

*About the cell phone? No I wouldn't get it. You would have to explain your reasoning why, and you could also make a deal, like if you are good and help me around the house, I will get you one. But it also depend on how old the child is. If they're 8, then no. Personally, anything younger than 16 is a no go. *
