bulling and teasing in Russian

[Hunter, Robert (Psychology)]

Prof. Belyanin,
     I enjoyed your interview.  Since teasing and bullying is such a hot buttom issue in U. S. schools, I was particularly interested in your observation that "fol'klornye satiricheskie stikhi" are a possible replacement for cruel or aggressive language.  Perhaps if the books children were read and read themselves were "classics" and not edited to be so "nice", children's linguistic repertoires might be enriched and behavior less confrontational.  What do you think?

Those who are interested in Russian informal speech
may have fun reading about teasing and bulling in children behaviour

My main point was that teasing and bulling may be dangerous from
psychological point of view and not so charming as it may seem to adults who
love language game.
