Idiotic Myths 1: Being bullied "builds character"

The likes of Michelle Bachmann probably believe it. Being bullied, treated like dirt by brutal goons builds your character...it doesn't matter if they crush your ribs along with your dignity! It's a blatant lie told by abusing parents and parents of the abusers. Being bullied, maimed and insulted for being different it's only torture. Those who enjoy maiming and humiliating those too feeble to react with force are only criminal cowards, and NOTHING WHATSOEVER can excuse their actions. Bullies shoud be punished and teached how their conduct is wrong, unmanly and unlawful. And, if you don't mind, I'll build my character without their "help".
