Is it bad that I agree with this?

I said that it was my perception. I'm not in jr. high any more so I have to rely on what I hear from parents, teachers, and counselors, several of whom have expressed frustration that parents of those doing the teasing refuse to permit any discipline of their children, and thus administration holds that the only action that can be taken is to encourage the child being teased to change their appearance so as not to "attract negative attention."
