No, your parents weren't wrong for teaching you not to fight. It is the less civilized people that settle disagreements with fights, we are civilized and we should teach our children to act civilized also.
Bullies, usually come from dysfunctional families where they were probably the target of someone bigger and stronger, like a parent or older sibling. But, it shouldn't be tolerated, teachers should definitely not encourage it and if I knew my kids were getting bullied, I would do all I can to find out who and why and put a stop to it.
