Apr 12 2012: What a great topic!
I'm from Argentina and I teach at a primary and secondary school. Bullying is an issue!
I totally agree with the fact that media influences society and movies like the ones you mention plus video games in which the more you bully the faster you win the game are damaging kids'minds!!
As adults, we should help both the bully and the bullied, since they both have problem which are being shown in different ways.
Let's be on the alert to be able to help.
