Our nation is suffering from an epidemic, and its an easily curable one. That epidemic is bullies.
They're everywhere in the media. Gordon Ramsay bullies aspiring chefs and resteraunt owners. The parents and "caregivers" in shows like "Dance Moms" and "Toddlers and Tiaras" bully the children in their care. Any show with the words "Jersey" or "Real Housewives" in the title bully anyone unfortunate enough to come within range. There are many others.
If you're my age, what did your parents tell you about bullies? "Ignore them and they'll go away." Well, in this case its true. Media only perpetuates these crimes against humanity because they get ratings, so the solution is simple: Ignore them. Don't watch them, don't discuss them online or in person. Do not feed these trolls, and they will starve and go away.
And don't get me wrong, I'm not only saying this because I personally detest these shows (I do). Children watch these shows. They learn these behaviors and think they're "cool". With these shows we are raising a generation of douchebags.

my parents told me to bust them in the nose, if they come back for more with friends bust them in the nose. if you get beat up make sure you do as much damage to them as they inflict. if you see someone being bullied intervene, and bust that persons bully in the nose. but my dad was old school military
