Bullying as social correction is a very bad type of social correction. This way the social correction is done by the dumbest and most violent members of society in order to conform society to their vision. And then society grows up to become dumb and violent. Well lets not kid ourselves, this is exactly what has been happening in human history, and that why humanity continues to be mired in suffering and conflict and is intentionally destroying its environment. But this is something we have to change. Social correction should be done by trained adults that know exactly which traits are bad and to be corrected.

I think when the article says "that public health interventions could aim at preventing children from becoming the target of bullying" they refer to more health based intervention. Such as helping kids to be healthy and not malnourished, or overweight from eating bad food.
