    I miss bullys that actually would get their ass kicked by me or the rest of the sane people.  But apparently it's a crime to defend people anymore....

    What does one call someone who bullys the bullys?

    Whatever happened to "Sticks and Stones"? I wanna know what idiotic bastard started the movement to get rid of that old adage.

    At my kids school they have daily bully meetings.  They all sit around and tattle about every possible perceived slight.  Not only does this foster a generation of tattle tales, but all it took was two bullies getting their story straight to get another kid in trouble and publicly ridiculed.

    I asked the principal if she or anyone else had given this any thought prior to making the policy.  Also told her my kid was not allowed to participate.

    It's out of control, like most things today. I've seen the kid who was getting pushed around get sent home. And kids are smart , some use this to their advantage because after all they would never make something up

    Along with "participation awards" we are raising a generation of entitled wimpy tattle tales with no social skills because they are on their phones all day. Glad I don't have kids.

    I always enjoyed this clip. This guy is more of Richard than a bully. The other guy wiped the smile off his face pretty quickly.

    That was a hell of a punch.  Southpaw!  

    My favorite part was his friend asking the girl that helped "you down to come to my place".  :rofl:

    I have told my son since he first started school about the only two things I have zero tolerance for are him being a bully to a kid or being bullied by a kid. 

    I was bullied in the 7th grade for a few months. I was terrified of Eddie a kid two years older than I was. He tortured me daily. Finally one day instead of getting scared I got mad. He told me he was going to kick my ass, and instead of hiding like a baby deer I got in his face and told him I was going to stomp his face in the dirt. 

    He looked scared and from that day on he left me alone. That was a very powerful day for me. I haven't been bullied since then. I had rather get my ass kicked than for someone to think I am scared of them. 
    I shepherd my kids in that same direction.  I tell them that they are never to start a fight but if they find themselves in one.....they damn sure better finish it.  If they see someone being bullied....they are to stick up for the helpless and be a friend to someone who needs it.  Seems logical to me but this day and age I feel like a man without a country!

    @GATraveller I don't have kids but that is the way I was raised.  It just seems like good common sense parenting to me.

    That sounds good in theory, but what does your kid actually do if the bully is his friend and/or the kid being bullied is unpopular?  Keep in mind kids want to be popular and the mob mentality (which we sadly see on this forum) is powerful, especially among those that conform, want to be popular themselves, or are not independent thinkers.
