Here in the states, we do a lot of lip service to the fact that bullying is harmful. That said, there's a pervasive attitude among school officials and in the corporate world, that bullying is somehow good. The idea is that it sends the weak to the margins, and "toughens" those on the fence between weak and strong.

And of course, it's bullshit. But prove me wrong. Look at the way bullying is glorified in popular culture (the tough coach or boss who makes the protagonist a better person), the military, and the business world in general.
