Discipline was never intended to have an effect on children. The thoughts that children experience (free will) resulting from the discipline is the only thing that can effect behavior change.

The answer to the issue of child bullying rests within us, especially the victims of bullying. Victims of bullying are never responsible for being bullied. On the contrary, victims of child bullying have the power in themselves to think, behave, and react in ways that limit or eradicates bullying.
