   For 14 year old Olympic diving star Tom Daley success at Olympics has become a curse. Ever since he has returned to his school after the games he has been bullied by his school mates. The situation has become so worse that recently he had to be pulled out of the school by his parents. Apparently he had been threatened by school bullies that they would break his precious legs.
   
   Bullying at school is not new. But in the modern times there is a remarkable aggressiveness and jealously in young children. This often leads to jealousy and bullying. In most cases either the children who are too bright, talented or the weakest ones become easy targets. Unfortunately school authorities can do very little to tame these bullies. Children can show more intolerance and aggressiveness than adults.
   
   Olympic star’s parents had no option but to take him out of school. They simply cannot risk his diving future. In many cases these memories of bullying often affect and haunt children even after they grow up. Most of the time sensitive, creative and introvert children who cannot really mingle get bullied and even have to seek therapist help. In fact school authorities should send bullies to psychologists. Such aggressiveness and intolerance needs to be tamed in childhood itself.
