Only reason this happens is because all throughout school your taught to run away and find a teach for help. Instead these people could make a difference NOW, and people wonder where the no gun laws and call the police to come save me mentality comes from. Children need to be taught to do the moral thing and stand up for others for the right reason.

I pretty much stayed out of trouble in school, but one fine day a known AH came up as I was talking to a friend at his locker, and shoved him into the locker. I smacked the guy. He wanted to fight after school

What did I get for my trouble? Hauled in front of the letterman / sosh/ jock operated school kangeroo kourt. They wanted me to come in Saturday and work "for starting a fight". That was one of the first times I used some very very bad language in a public setting, telling them where to go, what to use doing so, and how.

This bully got his, although I certainly never would have wished that upon him. He later was killed, riding a motorcycle, illegally passing a car on a curvy road, hit head on. I'm sure that was very very upsetting to whoever hit him

On a side note, that same highway today is nearly impossible to recognize, from Sandpoint to Laclede and on to Priest River. All the tight, dangerous curves have disappeared, over the years.

Had a similar experience in the hall outside of the science lab in HS, senior year. A friend was attacked by one of the resident bullies. I pulled him of and pushed him to the other side of the hall, A couple of teachers got between us. When they asked what happened, the AH kept his mount shut, so I told the teacher what happened.

He was dragged to the office, and I went to my class. When I got out of science class, the bully was back, with a friend. He told me the same thing you heard, that they would find me after school. When he said that I hit him. It was on. His back up didn't get involved. I suppose fighting after school was coll with him, but faced with the opportunity to earn a suspension he wimped out.

We were both dragged to the office, he told his story, I told mine.. He was suspended for 2 weeks for fighting, I was reprimanded and sent to my last class.
After school he was waiting with his buddy. By then I was able to amass about a half dozen of my own friends. So words were exchanged, but nothing happened. We never bothered with each other after that, until graduation night, while I was parking my car.

It was my girlfriend and I, as I was getting out of the car, he approached, His buddies (3or4 of them, I really don't remember) surround the car. I told Diane to stay in the car and lock the door. She did. The lug wrench for the car was on the floor in the back seat, as I got out, I grabbed it. He shouted curses at me, and as I stood up, I hit him in the side of the face and neck with the lug wrench. I hit him pretty hard, too. He went down and knocked his he on the curb, too boot! One other guy approach and I hit him, too. I didn't say anything. The others left.
I moved the car around the block.

He spent that evening at the St James Hospital emergency room with his buddy. I never saw either of them again, but I understand that sometime during that summer, of 1967, the bully was arrested for beating up his girlfriend, and her mother! Nice guy.

btw, I'm not a hero, or a fighter. I went all through HS without a confrontation, except for these two with the same butthead. When it was he and I, I really didn't care, when my girlfriend was with me, it was a different story, I figured they were going to kick my butt, and there was no way to talk my way out of it, so I didn't wait, and took all the advantage I could think of.
 
Bullying, nothing a 2x4 up the side of the head doesn't cure.Most bullys are and were wannabe punks. Iv'e dealt with many over the years, still dealing with em.
 
I'll say the same thing here that I told 805 Ed in my email today:

Bullying ........... PFFFFTTTTTTTT.

Sorry, we grew up with bullies and they're the reason a lot of us learned to stand on our own two feet. We're doing nothing by this other than breeding future generations of politically correct wimps who run to mommy or the Principal or the Police and let others solve their problems.
 
I was told when I was younger "don't go looking for trouble, trouble will find you". I told my sons the same and if trouble finds you take care of it and I will deal with the school. My sons aren't as big as I was when I was their age so I wanted them understand I support them if they are defending themselves and to not take any **** from anyone. Today most kids are being taught NOT to defend themselves and have someone else do it for them. Only way to learn and understand is do it yourself. My 2 cents.

Told my girls the same thing. They said we can get in trouble, I told them if they were in the right I would back them 100%. Same token if they were in the wrong and it could be proven, I would back the school 100%.

All three of them went through school without a scuff until my youngest got into 11th grade. She flapped her mouth to the wrong person and got flattened. She went to the office boo hooing and thought they would punish the other girl.

I guess she thought I was joking about me backing the school because when we met with the principle I took her phone and went through her text massages and there was the proof that she had been the instigator. She was suspended for three days.
 
Not sure if I was a bully in school or not, but here's how I handled some of my issues after being "bullied" (some have called it abuse) at home by a step-parent.

My friend (who also had a very similar upbringing) and I played on the junior high and high school football teams...mostly to get our aggressions out. There's nothing like being fully padded head to toe and getting to knock the **** out of someone you hated..then getting praised by the coach. That was fun and fulfilling to a point.

When that wasn't enough, we would target bullies in school. You know, the alpha-hotels who always picked on kids half their size, kids with mental challenges, or kids they just didn't like, etc. If we witnessed an incident we didn't like, it was go-time.

We'd catch them alone after school and teach them a lesson they were very unlikely to forget. I won't elaborate, but it did involve giving them a dose of their own medicine and allowing them to feel with crystal clarity what it was like to be on the receiving end. I know one guy who still remembers it 39 years later (I feel kinda bad about that one).

Instances of bullying did coincidentally subside while we were in school. I know now that doesn't classify what we were doing as acceptable, but times were different in the 70's. I'm even sure some teachers knew it was us doing the punishing, but didn't say anything.

Maybe this is why I like vigilante movies so much.
 
Bullying was a way of life when I was growing up. I remember being on the GIVING, and RECIEVING end of it. Even some TEACHERS bullied students to a certain degree. I won't say it made me a better person, but I certainly have the BALLS to KNOCK OUT a ****, if they deserve it. These days it's different. The MOTHERS all stand around and "supervise" when the kids are outside playing. Making sure their kids feeling don't get hurt. And the parents bring their own insecurities into the mix. PATHETIC. If GEEKS didn't choose to PROCREATE, there would be no kids getting bullied.
 
I liked the guys bullying video, and watched a bunch of his other videos as well! Sad to see so many people just pass by, I would be a little more "hands on" in my approach! Trying to teach my boy to be respectful of others, but not to allow disrespect to himself or others!
 
Wow, some callous people out there to turn their backs and not do anything to help.

I'm not sure I know how to take this part of your comment Jason. Are you saying that "GEEKS" bring bullying upon of their kids for generally being smaller and not as strong as the mindless loser that is the bully? What exactly is your definition of geek exactly?

Agreed 100%. I also told mine on day one of school, "how you act at school is a reflection of how I raised you". That has stuck in their brains and they haven't caused me any grief. Although sometimes how they act at home I question them and ask them do they act like this at school and their response is no, I would only do it at home. UGH
 
I guess geek was just a word I was using to describe parents who do not teach there kids to stand up for themselves, ( or others who are in need ). Let the kids fight his or her own battles, I truly believe these are important lessons. In no way do I condone bullying. Like I say, I will admit to being bullied, and bullying as a youngster. The parents supervising 10 year olds, ( in front of my house ) is starting to bug me. My 10 year old daughter is out there too. My wife and I do not get involved. We let our kid stand up for herself if need be. Maybe I have gotten off of the real topic anyways. I realize bullying has gotten to be a serious issue these days. All kids have a right to live, play, and be educated without being in fear. So I hope that clears up any RUDENESS of my previous post.
 
I caught a lot of hell due to my last name. This was thanks to cousins that were older than me. I had a cousin who liked to sell pot and sometimes cut it with other stuff.
I learned to beat, or get beaten. I wasn't afraid to use what ever I had as a weapon too. trucker wallets became my favorite.
When I changed schools, I never had to fight again. A kid from my old school transferred to where I was, told some other kids about me, but he also told them I carried a switch blade (not true but it helped).
When my son was coming up, I told him not to be getting into any trouble, but if it finds him deal with it. If he's right, I'll go to war for him, if he's wrong, then he stands on his own. He only had one issue, he was wrong according to school policy. I disagreed with the policy and took issue with it.
he was at a party, had a beer and another kid tattled on him. Mind you the party was during the summer when school was out and he was threatened with prosecution if he didn't confess.
the schools foster some these polices and just make things worse.

Yeah, I woulda had a real problem with that one myself.
 
I was a wuss,until 7th grade. The same bullies,followed until 7th grade. The lead bully ,shoved me,I clocked his ***. Hit me a second time,knocked my glasses off. Hit back,with a left jab. I got off,he got suspended.Stuff happens. Kids NEED to learn to defend themselves. A intelligent thread ,805.....
 
I fought, stabbed, and walked away from bullies. I don't miss high school.

The only fights were with bullies. I remember violently putting my knee into this wrestler-bully's face, and it did not phase him at all. I was very concerned after that-it was all frantic defense after that pseudo coup-de-grace. What an epic fight. He put my nose under my eye ball and for 30 L O N G seconds all I could see was red blood- totally blinded. My friends whom I was defending greatly appreciated me even more after that. Walked to the family doctor to get him to reset my nose afterward; he refused and set me up with a specialist the next day. I pleaded with him because I knew it would set all f'ed up. Took the specialist four needle shots through my nose and two nurses holding my head while rebroke my nose. The specialist told my mother I was a good kid for not crying. Those face-needle shots hurt every bit as bad as anything I have ever suffered thru.

In college, this guy was beating the ever loving **** out of this young lady. My roommate and I intercepted him long enough to run interference and she escaped. When we did, as if summoned from plane, half of the entire Texas A& I javelina football team materialized to support the beating bully and surround us. We slowly backed into my roommates car and left very humbly.
How on earth have I lived this long? Bullies are everywhere they can surface without consequences. Not sure if I have the right approach to this problem.
 
Breeding generations of pussies. We have a winner.

This is a tuff subject. I have a nephew going through it because his coach/teacher is the bully. I know most will support the coach but you need to know all the story. Believe me it is bad. The coach has been suspended 2 times just this year but he grew up in the town and is the "golden boy" Several on the school board have resigned to avoid the issue. This dude needs fired but they will wait until there is a bad situation. My nephew is about to graduate and has joined the Army. This dude actually called the recruiter to bad mouth him. The recruiter called to see what was going on. I seem to miss the after game blow ups which is good because I would take action. Thats how I grew up ..take care of your problems and I don't like bullies.
 
I had a few teachers that were bullies, my 7th grade shop teacher, thought he could try that **** with me, a 2x4 up side his head stopped that, and a 9th grade home room teacher would run off at the mouth and threaten everyone, got tired of that, grabbed him by his tie pulled him across his desk, and told him to shut the fu@k up, got to spend the rest of the year in the office for that one.
 
I for one was a Big and strong being I worked on a farm.. There was one guy that wanted to have the girl I was dating so he would just harass the hell out of me. I would walk away and not say a word..He approached me one day and I turned to him and said why are you such an ***?? He didnt like that much, as I headed up the stairs to the second floor he followed me.. He kept saying come on right now.. I turned and said right now?, He said yeah...I said to him your not real bright are you?? He went to grab for me and I kicked him in the chest and he tumbled down the stairs, jumped up came back at me..I said you are a bright one aren't you?? kick him again only harder this time he layed at the bottom of the stairs just groaning...Later in the day we saw each other and he just looked at me. He never bothered me again...He turned out to be a pretty nice guy... After a few fights in school and proving yourself people just dont mess with you anymore...I wasn't a bully but my size and the *** kickings I did,(not by choice) made people afraid of me and I was the one that broke up alot of fights in school.. Most of the time after it was known that I did they would see me coming and just stop and say I dont want any trouble with you man... I told my boys get tough or die..Parent need to let kids realize life is not mommy being there to protect them..What happens when they get in the real world??? I see it at work this one guy in his mid 30s if things dont go his way he crys and runs to management..Im talking real crying tears and all....It is pitiful and funny...Bill:goodman:
 
I really feel if you are getting "bullied" stand up and help yourself. I have never really been bullied but if it ever happened I knock that mother into next week. The only problem I have ever had in school is me and my friends I guess you can call us rednecks. We fly rebel flags on our car/trucks and there are some groups of black kids that were jumping some of my buddies and keying there trucks. Not one time did we tell the school we solved our problem and we stay apart from the others.
 
Everyone seems to be ok with defending yourself. How about jumping in to defend someone else, a stranger... I say do what is right and try not to get shot or stabbed for your trouble. We should speak up against injustice. It is the way I was taught. It is the way we should teach our children... my .02
