But as an aside, men have to do more to stop boys from bullying each other. It's bad enough the school system is biased against anything having to do with "maleness", without boys turning on each other for any stupid reason.
Other groups have united against systems that are biased against them, but it seems that boys and males in general are willing to help "the system", as long as it's against other males. Until this changes, you will only read more stories like this of boys self destructing in one way or another.
Boys will pick on each other. It's part of their nature. What they need to be taught, early on, is that when the fun and games are over all parties need to be laughing. If someone is left injured, angry or humiliated it's bullying.
