When I was in high school, I stuck up for this kid who was getting punked around by some Mexican gangbangers. I played football, ran track, etc. while in high school and none of the gangbangers would fuck with the athletes.
So I stepped in and put them in their place. The gangbangers thought they were hardasses and surrounded me, until I told them "are you sure you want to do this?".. and as I finished saying that, the rest of the football team surrounded them. In short, they never fucked with that kid ever again.
They would also steal money from a kid that lived in my neighborhood who had down syndrome. I put a stop to that bullshit as well.
That next year, a bunch of those gangbangers thought they could join the football team and try to push us around... Until we started fucking them up hardcore during practice and they got tired of getting laid out.. so, they quit.
See, instead of coaches kicking kids off the team, they gave us (the players) full control of the team and we would make punks quit left and right. If you slacked, didn't hustle, bitched, moaned, or didn't listen.. their asses got ran off by their own team mates.
Team play to the max. Ah, the good ole days

She was getting picked on pretty hard there, that's for sure. But part of me also kind of goes "who gives a fuck". I got picked on a LOT in middle school, and on the bus it had got to the point that I was getting physical harm. My mother kept calling and going to their office trying to get them to fix the problem, and instead they just ignored it. When I finally retaliated, and in a way less physical than what was being done to me on the bus, they decided to kick ME off the bus for the year instead.
I never liked our fucking school system because of shit like that. They will let the bullies win, and they don't care. When I finally try to defend myself, they would punish me instead. "Look at that kid getting bullied, that's becoming a problem. Ok, lets punish the bullied kid and and give his bullies MORE than what they want."

Re: bullied bus monitor
As for generations: Keep in mind the frequency at which we hear about such harsh levels of bullying, if this happened so much this would not be headline news. The fact of the matter, is that bullying like this is so rare that this made national news (my newspaper today actually mentions it).
The difference between then and now Commander is that today we have a news medium that allows for publicity of these heinous acts.
There is no radical difference in generations as you suggest, humans have to do these things or be the victim of these things at least once to personally learn why it is wrong. Humans learn from experience, you had to do something wrong once to be beaten to learn and experience the punishment to fear it as a consequence.
My biggest problem with physical punishment is that it only acts as a method of conditioning, it does not teach why these things are wrong, only that you will be punished if you do X. Such thinking is highly undesirable, understanding the why goes a loooooot farther then understanding the consequence of the what. Such thinking leads to ignoring the why's, leading to irrational bias and beliefs (because without asking why, you'll never question said biases or beliefs).
Even without the empirical data, i posit that discrimination is the result of such ideologies: ignoring the why and only focusing on the what.
Granted perhaps the decline in physical punishment has lead to an increase in such malaevolent children, but i'd wager, my generation is significantly more accepting of different forms of people than previous generations.
Parenting is extremely problamatic, as parents have to try and teach children why things are wrong when the children are not even close to an age at which they can even comprehend WHY such things are wrong. Physical punishment is only an apathetic solution to bridging the time between when children start becoming of age at which they can perform these acts and the age at which they can comprehend why these acts are wrong, by attempting to force the children into blind submission.
Personally, I'd say thats a step in the wrong direction.
