Next time you hear a kid whine about a bully, tell them to man up! According to a former UK government adviser named Tim Gill, labeling unpleasant behavior as bullying is wrong. By doing so you are preventing kids from building the tough-guy skills needed in this cold world. I assume Tim Gill knows so much about this subject because he was victimized time and time again on the playground and in the closet of his government workplace.

In some very cruel cases, you may be justified in using the ‘bullying’ label. In most cases, you’d be far better off taking your kid to karate classes and teaching them self-confidence.
