I once knew this kid...

[SteveSS]

He was a rich, good-looking kid. He had everything a kid could want. His parents had worked hard to give him a good life. The kid made good grades and looked to be successful. The problem was other kids. They saw an opportunity to corner him in the hallways and threaten him until he gave up his lunch money.

The teachers were aware of this and they told him to "coexist." The rich kid had enough money to give some of it up. Soon all the kids in school found they could threaten him and have him back down. Some even came to his house and took things. Everyone said just let it happen.

Until one day a single teacher told him it was okay to fight back. This sounded great to the kid. The other teachers cried and said that was not how we do things around here. They threatened the boy and the teacher with explusion.

We'll see the end of this story in November.

He's not afraid of threats, nor am I. We'll see how many aren't afraid, if this goes awry. There could be huge repercussions from this election.

We need some.

So the teachers side with the bullies? Is this from going along to get along? Or were the teachers themselves bullies and haven't grown up yet?
A truth is that one that was bullied never forgets it.
The ones that bullied always seem to forget it.

I did it. It works great

I always told my son that I'd never punish him for protecting himself when he was being bullied. The teachers suspended him for fighting back; I praised him.
idiots

we had a situation at my child's school there was a kid who would bully every one he picked on all the kids including my child. the parents complained to the school and nothing was done because if the child was disciplined it was discrimination.any way my child was sent to self defense classes by myself as he is a thin small boy any easy target i guess you could say . the day came when my son and the bully crossed paths in which my sons defended him self no by striking but by using the bully's weight against him in turn sending him to the ground "game over " you would think no we get a call from the school saying our son is a bully and we should address this issue ? any way i let them know they are the ones that should be disciplined not my son and what about the bully shouldn't he be.any way this continued on the bully no longer bothered my child but moved on to the next kid which was a friend of ours son and same thing report after report and the school would say its out of our hands .so one day our friend could take no more of their child coming home terrorized so one morning he walked into the school yard walked up to the bully and yelled at him at the top of his voice do not touch my child or any other child again and walked away leaving the bully shaking in his shoes .guess what the bulling stopped the kid completely changed his attitude and direction and has become a great student "go figure "

It's not PC if you stand up for yourself. You will be called lots of names by the media.

My story is fictitious but it is in the news everyday. The person that "Hits Back" is punished.The ones who speak out for themselves and their country are condemned for it. I bet this thread gets locked soon. That will just prove my point.

 

[Glenwood]

that's exactly what my parents did for me all those years ago. Karate was a great confidence builder for me! A few flips and they left me alone.

Fighting was fairly common from grade-school, thru high-school. It set the pecking order. Different times, and stronger people.

 

[khryslerkid]

My son went through some bullying in the 9th grade. My wife called the principal and he told her, "If they don't get him in school, they'll wait to get him after school."
Well, he got a call from me that day, when I got home and I told him "How about I wait and get you after school? Take care of the bullys or that's what is going to happen!"
One of the school board members just happened to be a coach on my son's baseball team and he got a call too. The next day all three bullys were expelled. The principal finished out the rest of that year and disappeared.

I came from a school that didn't tolerate such things. Now days, they all turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to it. That's what creates these socialist liberals, that we have to deal with today. This country was strong at one point and this strength comes from within.

I'm in just need another billion more and we've got this wrapped up

I was bullied through JR high. The spring of my Freshman year I had enough, and fought back. I ended up fighting every cock sure *** that wanted a piece of me. I lost a couple of those fights. A pair of broken glasses. However I never had one rematch. It stopped in my JR year. Fast forward to the late nineties. The *** that gave me the most grief hung himself. I heard he had a bad marriage. I learned these kids come from bad situations, and needed to control others to make them feel good about themselves.

Bullies are nothing new,they come in all shapes and sizes and ages. I don't know what the situation in schools are these days. My kids and my grandkids are taught to stand up for themselves and thats not to say its always going to be a actual fight either but if someone wants to hurt you then you need to defend yourself.
Many want to talk about this liberal PC stuff. I don't know what that really means as i know plenty of so called liberals who will have no problems knocking someone on there *** if that person gets in there face

 

[RT SE 440]

the most of the problem is not physical anymore as it was when i was a kid its now a mental attack these kids hide behind a key board and attack through social media that's when things get ugly as its out of your control because it spreads like wild fire over night

 

[the mississippi madman]

Rich kids should know karate

Anyone seen the movie Ender's Game or read the book? That is how you handle bullies.....this works for an individual or a country.

Same here in Libtario!
I know it's not only Liberals, but these issues and the 'soft' approach seems to always be on the Lib agenda. My dad is probably a Liberal but he's one of the toughest guys I know. He grew up poor and had to fight (probably daily) to survive the intense bullying he endured back in the 50's. All because he was poor. It really toughened him up and he won't take any crap from anyone. We don't get along all that great, but I always respected him.
I think the softening approach coincides with the greater female influence we've been seeing in our school systems and governments. My mother can be soft too but she's also a fighter, just about as tough as my dad lol. They grew up in tough times with little money. Kids now a days seem to be more selfish and expect the world! So much for the soft approach.

when we were kids my dad had a saying keep both feet in one shoe .the real meaning steep out of line and he's going to kick our butts and we were to scared to step out of line.
