But you do choose to go into Slytherin.  If you don't want to be placed there, the sorting hat will place you in another house.  It happened to Harry and Harry tells his son that he can make the choice.
Draco wanted to go to Slytherin and I imagine, so did most of the other kids that ended up there.  Whether we like it or not, there will always be bullies and people who are attracted to power and evil.  These people are a fact of life and at least in the WW we know who they are, they are in Slytherin.

I know myself from going through the school system, bullies are bullies well before age 11.  I personally would have rathered they be put into a seperate house when I was in school and I could have had Ravenclaws mainly around me.
