Bully Body Slammed

[firstdown]

The onlt thing disturbing is the fact that he big kid getting picked on got suspended and could get criminal charges. Back in my day they would have said you get what you ask for. Public schools are so Fu%ked up in so many ways its disturbing.

Just because back in the day or at Mayberry High you would get what you asked for doesn't make it right, things like this could escalated into a Columbine incident. If you are being bullyed you need to report it not go Charles Bronson like on the attacker.

Now in this particular incident I agree the big kid should not be charged he was basically defending himself, was he suppose to stand there and just get punched in the face?

If you truly want to see what is so fawked up about our public school system, watch the doc Waiting for Superman.

In principle your response is correct, but going all tattle tale on a bully is much more likely to get you worse beatings, and/or someone waiting for you outside of school, or for when you get off the bus.

I mean honestly, who here that went to public schools can remember when anything good came from somebody "tattling"

I think it is a different world now, schools are getting a lot of pressure about bullies so the crackdown is there. I think in the past the bully may have got a slap on the hand but now a days the punishment is much worst because schools are afraid of the negative publicity they may receive from a bully's action.

That kid got ****ing owned and hopefully he learned a valuable lesson. I was teased and bullied a bit back when I was coming through elementary and high school, which is probably the reason I don't take any shit from anybody now. It's funny now, the people who were bullies back then would be scared shitless of me currently. It's amazing what growing to 6'2" and 300+ will do for you.


That said, I would want (and teach) my kid to come to me over any issue. I would then go to the principal and tell him either deal with it or I will. If that principal isn't willing to protect my child like he would do his, then me and him are going to have problems.

You stop it any way you can. If you're 300 pounds like this dude was, then a body slam seems like the appropriate response. If not, defend yourself the best you can, but you definitely need parents running to the administration/superintendent/school board crying foul on the bully.

These days there's so much focus on stopping bullying that schools will squash it.

I would want my son to fight back any way he can, but I'd also want to know about it so I could scream bloody murder to the school that the bully be kept away from my kid. And if he got bullied again by the same kid I'd take every step I could to see the kid expelled.

Mommy and Daddy coming to a kid's rescue definitely taints the reputation. But that beats being in physical danger. My son is more likely to learn in an environment where he feels safe but ostracized than one where he feels accepted but in danger.

Yeah but fighting back these days is going to get you beat up again, or much worse.

In the end I think it's best to let someone know, years of letting bullies have their way and staying quiet has led to the problem that bullying is today.

Yep, fighting back only works if you win the fight. When that dude body slammed little twerp boy, I guarantee the little maggot won't mess with him again. But if the bully doesn't fear you, he'll keep coming.
