Well, no one is ever "killed" in the game....They always live to re-spawn later.
Violent as Bully is, kids can't be just killed off like characters in other video games.

Hurting children in Bully already caused a huge outrage. Could you imagine if one actually died? Sure, it wouldn't have been homicide or anything but still.

Also, as much as it would make sense and as much as I hate Gary, in contrast to the rest of the game it would have felt a bit odd or out of place if he did die... at least imo.
(Hit by a car five times, took numerous firecrackers to the face, failed a bike trick and landed on his head all within an hour and Jimmy's just fiiiine.)

And yes it did go through court in attempt to get it pulled from store shelves... but that attempt failed.

Maybe Bully 2 would bring up bullying awareness? *sheepish smile*
pffft like that'll be the case

Regarding taboo things in general (in media), I wish people would put on their big boy pants and suck it up.

I do also believe Bullying has raised a lot since Rockstar made Bully(not saying it's R* fault,but just bad luck),so releasing a game related of Bullying is not very proper at the moment...
I was bullied when I was younger(like 8 years ago,but well,sometimes physical violence helps solving stuff),and I realise that today bullying is more frequent than when they did to me(so yeah,I can consider myself lucky)

I don't think it's any more now than what it was before....You just hear about it now, it's out in the mainstream. 
I was pounded into the pavement in front of the school in 2nd grade by a 4th grader.....Left lying bleeding on the pavement.  Nobody did a thing.
Being beaten or bullied was something no one talked about, or even acknowledged.....Now, you hear about it everywhere.
But it's been going on for centuries, every since there were Schools.

Might be true...
Tried digging around for statistics/info throughout the years but couldn't find anything good.

However, I think it is getting worse. Thanks to da internet, cell phones, etc., people are no longer being bullied just at school, and it can be completely anonymous so it's not like people would know who to avoid when they are at school.
And the nasty rumors, horrible pictures, and other things simply aren't going to poof from existence online...

Oh, you're counting insults and such.  When we thought of Bullying in School, it always referred to physical contact, Ha Ha.
Name-calling, rumors, and Insults were all just part of the everyday experience.

Only in early grade school.  After that I was Ignored.
I was in a HS with 2500 kids, go to a different part of School, it was like being on another Planet.
