I think there is a huge difference between the mean or mischievous interactions available to adult sims and this bullying as an option for kids. Some folks here have mentioned that it just adds some realism to the game. However, in real life, these kinds of things can lead to very real and horrible tragedy. Maybe the game should also include an option for kids to commit suicide? Is that an appropriate "real life" addition? (To be clear that is sarcasm and I would NEVER advocate for that.)
