After reading these articles, I could not agree more to the Zero Tolerance Policy. The reason being that any act of violence is especially heinous. The schooling system does and should do its' best to create a safe and harmonious learning environment, however, it is also the student's responsibility to contribute to this environment as well. The students do this by meeting all of the academic requirements, and of course, behaving in a civil manner.
The reason for bullying is said to be built up pain and/or over self-esteem. Over self-esteem may not seem like a reasonable cause for bullying, but according to Csmonitor.com, it is. Although peer pressure and the wrong judgement of mind can contribute to one's malicious behavior, it cannot be considered an understandable motive for bullying
Cyber-Bullying is also a rather large problem. The taunting and teasing of others via electronic devices seems to be more common than physical bullying, most likely because the Bully feels more secure and protected because they are blocked by the wall of the computer screen. Unfortunately for them, they are wrong.
It's obvious that if acts like these are the cause of suicide among a large amounts of teenagers each year, it should be prohibited at all costs.
