As a student,treat school bullying with a mental perspective first, then punishment. Treat the problem, not aggravate it

Many bullies might have a temporary need to bully. It may be an issue at home, a major family event, or other causes. It should NOT be treated with life changing consequences immediately, for that will only send the bully into a downward path of sorrow. They should be scanned for any mental causes first so that they will be treated, and then a potential functional citizen of the United States. Unless the student is of the age of 18 and has been checked for mental issues, then bullying should NOT be treated to such a major extreme.
