First off, violence isn't rampant as it is in GTA, there will be few weapons, and those that do exist (baseball bats, etc.) will degrade after a few swings. In addition, their are consequences for said behaviour. Rockstar knows about the heat that's going to come with the game, so they're being careful. Personally, I think it looks interesting and I'll probably give it a shot.
What's funny is that Rockstar really hasn't released a lot of information about the game and people are trying to have it banned a year before it's release when very little is know about it.
I don't see it not getting banned eventually. Parents are going to complain til they get their way, kids shouldn't be playing this stuff in the first place.
The ESRB rating is there for a reason. Parents won't have any ground to stand on, especially if it's rated mature. Free Speech!

It's an interesting idea; sort of like Skool Daze for the new millenium. I doubt I'll buy it, but as with a any Rockstar product it's worth keeping an eye on.
"The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
Its ridic making a game that involves bullying others. Im not going near the game, its a horrid subject to market.
I've been waiting for over a year for this game, the magazine i read has had in the release lists for aggggggggggggggggggggggggggges and every month it will be coming out next month. I saw some good videos on ign.

Anyway I'm vaguely interested in this. I'm half-tempted to get it just to piss off everyone making a big deal about it.
Read about the game before you make assumptions thar the game is specifically about bullying other kids. Yeah, your character CAN bully other kids, but the whole premise of the game is to get the different groups of kids (Nerds, Goths, Preps, etc...) to go against the bullies and stand up for themselves.
Also, an interesting tidbit - Rockstar has said their will be no swearing in the game. My guess is that this could easily be headed for a T rating.
"As a troublesome schoolboy, you'll laugh and cringe as you stand up to bullies, get picked on by teachers, play pranks on malicious kids, win or lose the girl, and ultimately learn to navigate the obstacles of the fictitious reform school, Bullworth Academy. "
Clouded sky: "despite the confirmed absence of blood, death, and bad language in general in the game"
A quote from wikipedia on bully.

Huzzah!
Well it's clearly not remotely realistic, in that case
Eh.....

It's an interesting concept. I may get it when I learn more about it.
