I'm gonna go devil's advocate and say that we need bullies in the schools.
In an age where less and less children are physically active it's important let them overcome the challenge on their own.
Like any of the other social habits that these kids are developing and experimenting with they need to learn how they can deal with abuse of any type. Accepting that they're always a victim, a punching bag for the strong, is idiotic.
They don't need to be taught that bullying is wrong, that they're a victim, and that they have some obscure mental disorder because they've never figured it out somehow. Bullying isn't going to go away in schools, it's not going away in adult life, and not on a larger scale internationally. Get used to it, understand what you can do to stop it, and stop bitching about how 'unfair' it is.
