Summary: Bullying is a learned behavior, and we want the perpetrators to _unlearn_ it as quickly as possible. But what and how can targeted kids teach the aggressor? Obviously, if a child is being harassed, he or she needs to tell somebody. But who should kids turn to for help? According to anti-bully activist Tammy Motola, "More than three million kids are bullied at school each year, but only _four percent_ of teachers intervene while that's taking place." Why so few? Is it because "kids will be kids" and according to many adults, bullying is a "rite of passage"?
