Well, the whole "I like pink, nails and ballet" is kinda bully-worthy.
But why stab because someone likes the Polish? He has a problem with us, or what?

Oh, wait, 6 years old? 6 more years, I guess.

Or grow 10 inches, fatten up and grow a beard. Or a mustache.p3t3r said:

[sarcastic tone]US Military intervention is needed in that school. A quick ground war will solve that problem...
[serious tone] But really, I think being bullied is one thing, being fucking stabbed is something that the school should fucking fix NOW! Stabbing is beyond being bullied, thats fucking assault with a (not quite) deadly weapon.

I'm sorry. I laughed at the thread title. You may want to consider changing that, as it looks vaguely like something from The Onion.
On topic: Kids have the capacity be creepily cruel, and schools can only do so much to prevent that. As insensitive as it may have sounded, the school authorities may have had a point. Minimise the reasons for bullying, and you won't get bullied. It's a horrible way for the world to work, but it takes the strength of having grown up to really make a stand against it.

I think it's funny (in a sick kind of way) how much color matters even though color doesn't exist. Some people might call me retarded for that statement, but it's true. There is no such thing as color. A tree is not brown, plants are not green, his shirt was not pink, people's skin isn't brown. Color is just our way of seeing reflectivity. Some animals see only shades of grey, some animals use sonar, echolocation, antennae, scent. Are they just less perceptive than us? Well, no.
Now, with that said, it looks like Sweden has some homophobia issues it needs to put aside. You can't even tell if somebody is gay when they're 6 years old. How about you just let the kid like what he wants to like?
Normally I just let people believe what they believe, but if your belief system says that homosexuality is wrong, immoral, weird, unnatural, evil, etc. then your belief system is wrong. I don't care if you were bullied as a kid, I don't care if it's just "the culture," I don't care if the church says so, the bullies, culture, and church are all wrong. I'm not saying those things are always wrong (although... the earth is flat, the sun orbits the earth, the earth is the center of the universe, disease is caused by demons (then, after that, cursed air), evolution never happened, man coexisted with dinosaurs, there were witches, vampires, werewolves, and imps, slavery is okay, and finally [just off the top of my head] homosexuality is wrong. If they've been wrong about nearly everything else, why should that change now that they're saying that one person can be better than another just based on their sexual attraction? It shouldn't), but in this case it's unacceptable.
Gays are people, too. And probably stronger than the homophobes, since they have to deal with them left and right. Homophobes are just racists, except for some reason it's socially acceptable to be homophobic but not racist. Hating someone for their sexuality is just as ridiculous as hating them for the color of their skin.
TL;DR: Homophobes need to get over themselves, because being gay is not wrong. If you believe it's wrong, you're wrong.

Yeah, bullies suck, but if they're stabbing people with butter knives at 6, he'll stab people with a real knife at 14 (guess). Then it'll be on the news, the bullies parents will defend they're kid, and the victim's (who may may be dead) parents will say the bully deserves the death penalty.
If you get bullied, beat the shit out of them. Once they realise that you are a very violent kid who is easily pissed off, they'll leave you alone.
Pretty sure you can't sue 6-year olds, especially not for something like this. Don't think you can sue the school either for that matter.Vibhor said:
OT: Kids are kids, but sounds like those teachers need training/replacing. Not stopping bullying, not informing the parents when their kid gets physically attacked with a knife (could just as well have been a sharp blade) and saying it's the kids own fault for wearing the wrong colour sounds bad. The last part is probably partially true, but it'd be better to stop the kids from bullying him over it than forcing him to wear another colour shirts imo.
That's why I'm going to make my child go through the same training my dad put me through when I was 9.ANImaniac89 said:
He got my cousin who was in the army at the time to toughen me up, all of a sudden I was a 9 year old kid who was 50kg and strong as hell, but I didn't attack people, I was very sweet.
But I would focus on the crazy kid, really? Stabbed him because he's different? Fuck.
I bet someone will find a way to blame videogames for all this.
This gives Sweden a bad reputation, even though these things aren't common in Sweden.
EDIT: I used to know a guy that used makeup, nail polish and wore pink. He was never bullied.
But he wasn't 6 years old.

I have 1 thing to say to you.Connor Lonske said:
School shootings in America and street violance.
Yes, London is fucking dangerous, but Paris? Naaah.
My school uses the excuse "Boys will be boys". they have used it since two years ago, (sixth, i'm in eighth) every time I report anything that is BLATANT bullying, they say "boys will be boys"
OT: That school is just plain stupid. Its a child that got stabbed. Granted, with a blunt knife, the kid is six for pete's sake.

Surprise at bullying of somebody who stands out from their peers in school?
Meh. This is why most people don't start expressing themselves until they're older, more confident and able to deal with bullies. Kid needs to learn the value of blending in, other kid needs stabbing slightly harder, with a slightly sharper knife as an example of how it's not nice to stab people. That'll learn 'im.
Seriously, just look at the Daily Mail.

I wouldn't worry about it, for years now the media attitude to news stories has been, "make it sound as bad as possible, to hell with context!"Fredrikorex said:

Well I would blame the school, because they're encouraging bullying in their own school system. Someone is not doing their job right.
