I think we need to spend more time teaching kids to cope and deal with it. I'm not saying tell them "just deal with it", I mean we need to teach them techniques and give them perspective to handle that it will inevitably happen to them. We are all about trying to stop it, but that's like a war on drugs, rather than fighting a battle that can't be won let's teach them to live in reality and make good choices within that reality (like not killing yourself or others because of it).
It's just a never ending circle of alpha/beta dynamics of a group.
No one wants their kids bullied. But they need coping skills. Not just running to an adult. You never grow as a person if someone is always taking care of your needs.
