Bullying has always existed in schools. In recent years, a better understanding of the traumatic effects it can have on its victims, has increasingly highlighted how damaging a phenomenon bullying is. It can lead to serious psychological problems, like depression and even suicide. Should the bullies themselves in the school face the force of the law? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the different opinions;
2. give your comment.

Graeve: Individuals should only be held responsible for the consequences of their own actions. In any free and democratic society, criminal law should only hold people accountable for the things they do, not for the actions of others. We are all autonomous, moral agents who make decisions and have to live with their consequences and the consequences of our actions. While it might be justified to punish bullies for their bullying behavior, if it breaks the law, we cannot hold them accountable for another person’s decision to commit suicide.
Mona: The law should always punish actions that inflict serious harm—whether physical or psychological. Bullying can inflict serious psychological harm on its victims, especially in the case of young people. It leads to low self-esteem, depression, and for some kids it leads to suicide. Bullied children are almost 6 times more likely to think about or attempt suicide. This phenomenon has been termed "bullycide" and the law should recognize it. Many forms of behavior that result in the death of another person are criminal, from murder to negligence. It is the duty of the law to brand such behavior as unacceptable, deter future incidents, punish the perpetrators, and offer comfort to victims.
Jose: Defining bullying would be nearly impossible. Spreading rumors, giving someone the silent treatment, inviting all your classmates but one to a party, expressing a religious belief about someone’s sexuality, eye rolling, making faces, these can all be hurtful and perceived as bullying. Yet this is perfectly legal behavior. Criminalizing bullying would amount to criminalizing these acts. They may be offensive, they may even be hurtful, but these gestures should never, ever constitute criminal behavior in any society that is concerned with human rights, freedom of speech, and of expression. Throwing someone in prison for spreading rumors or eye rolling might be worthy of a totalitarian state, but not a liberal democracy.
Andrew: The bully’s intentions are irrelevant. In criminal law, the establishment of culpability(过失 ) does not always depend on the intentions of the perpetrator(犯罪者). If, during a fight on a train platform, I shove someone and that person falls on the tracks and is killed by a train, I will be guilty of manslaughter, whether I intended to kill the person or not, because the harm caused by my actions is so great. The same applies to bullying. Bullies try to hurt their victims through their actions, either physically or psychologically. Whether the bully intended the victim to die or not, is irrelevant. The bully’s actions were responsible for the victim taking his own life.
Josheh: It is difficult to make a direct, legally sound link between a bully’s behavior and a victim’s suicide. Many of the children and adolescents who take their own lives allegedly as a result of bullying have a far more complicated background. Some already struggle with depression, and have unstable family situations that make it hard to turn to their parents for help with their problems.

答案
Should the Bullies Themselves in the School Face the Force of the Law? Recent statistics show that a majority of students suffer from bullying to different degrees in their academic careers. Should the bullies shoulder the responsibility of facing the judgment of law for their actions? Definitely, actions of bullies are considered criminal as they meet requirements for the infringement of human rights, or illegal actions, victimization distress, and deliberate intentions to harm. Those who argue for the caution towards legislation on bullying assert that individuals shall only take the consequences of their own actions instead of any others’, still in the exertion of the jurisdiction, more concerns have been given to the definition of bullying actions and the clarification of causal relations between bullying actions and victims’ sufferings, in case of infringing human beings’ another right, freedom of speech. On the contrary, advocates argue that bullies shall take the judgment of law for their actions’ catastrophic consequences on the victims. The early 21th century witnessed the increasing attention given to the understanding and recognization of bullying and plausible strategies to address the abuse on the basis of the illegal nature of bullying. To begin with, the four types of bully, verbal, physical, psychological and cyber bully, deprive the victims of the basic human rights, such as rights of health, property and freedom. Secondly, bullying causes the victim to suffer mild to severe, short-term and long-term trauma. What is worse, because of unpleasant, traumatizing experiences of being bullied in the school, some students perceive the world around themselves as irredeemably dangerous, hostile, and confusing in later adulthood. Lastly, bullies hold an intention to harm, suggesting that the harm caused by bullying is deliberate, not accidental. Bullies are supposed to have the personality of aggression, motivated by the perceived benefits of their aggressive behavior, such as dominating, or gaining support and pride from the peers. From the above, we can draw the conclusion that bullies are supposed to take responsibilities in laws due to their infringement of others’ rights, the victims’ subsequent sufferings and the deliberate intentions involved.
