im my opinion, i believe both girls need to be punished just as equally.
that girl did deserved to be punished for starting the bullying in the first place, and i agree with everybody that said the teacher should have done somting the day befoure.
im not saying she should be praised for cutting that girls face, but you do have to think about the emotional state that she was in the day of the attack.
she was obviously fed up with being attacked by this girl.
i dont know these girls personally, but i get the idea that she did not wish to for the girl to be cut like that.
i really think she only ment to threaten her and try to take away a bit of power from the bullying.
now every body knows that had the girl gone and reported it to the school that she was a victom of bullying…not a whole lot would have been done about it.
there are thousands of kids all over the world that have unfortunately committed suicide because the could no longer face being bullied.
who knows, maybe this girl was feeling so low in her self that she really just did not give a crap about the consequences of cutting the girls face.
