You do have a point, but it would be much better if we could handle things with words rather than hitting

I agree with you. I informed my kids just don’t throw the first punch but the second punch can be yours you have the right to defend yourself.

We taught our children you take it until they touch you, then you let them have it! Told them, also, you won’t get in trouble at home, as long as they didn’t start it.

That's the way we dealt with bullies. I told all 4 of my kids to do the same, they did, bullies went away.

I believe in this day and age and the way things is that if a kid is being bullied that the parents, the teachers, the principal, should all be on notice of that child and depending on the extent of the bully that occurred depends on if it is taken to the authorities or not. if it is found all is in agreeable decision that it not then the child be put on a list where he is not allowed to be caught with no further instances of bullying for the year or he will be removed from the school for the rest of the year. and if it is found to be an offense that victimizes the other person then the parents will be held accountable as well as the bully. this is something that is has gotten out of control and needs to STOP

I told my kids if someone bullied you defend yourself no matter what and we will deal with that later on when we have to meet with the principal and the other parent. No matter what don’t let a bully bully you defend yourself no matter what. I can’t stand a damn bully

l totally agree with you. stop when the adults break it up. If your kid doesn't fight back every kid will target them.

Told my kids to hit back but not to hit first and I got called down to the school when my daughter did just that and I told the school the same thing and if they had a problem with it that’s too damn bad that my kids had to defend themselves because they weren’t doing their jobs

If you talk to adm. as they say for your child should do, it more often than not makes the situations worse. what's a kid to do?! Parents get involved and it doesn't seem to be heard.

I agree with you! Kids need to defend themselves but never throw the first punch, cause if they do, they will be considered the aggressor. Bullies have an inferiority complex I feel, and they pick on others to make themselves feel better. In kindergarten my son had a bully to him, but the bully was stood up to, and now my son & the bully are friends and that kid is no longer a bully to others. Bullies need friends and need to be loved and eventually they will turn from bullying others.

Dad of the year. I have 2 very well behaved kids, and both have been well trained in Marshall arts. They have had the same issues because they are good students. So the rule in my home is, NEVER SWING FIRST. BUT, if someone swings, you better take care of business. I have told the school staff the same thing and my kids haven't had many problems since.

I always taught mine. Don't start nothing, sticks & stones are only words, but if they keep on & they touched. They were told to finish it.

I agree cause i taught my kids to defend themselves.. and my kids grew up and they put bully’s in check. So now my kids are parents now and they are teaching my grandkids to defend themselves . So I see no wrong in teaching our kids to defend themselves…..

most bullies get their butt beat the reason is the bullies are playing and not mad,if the kid being bullied don't argue with the bullies, the kid is mad and they decide to fight they have the bullies whipped before the bullies get mad, don't argue with the bullies, just whip them and don't let up to he is whipped. I don't argue with bullies I just get close to give him a education. when you mad you are stronger than Normal. so no need to make a bullies mad. a lot of states you have stand your own ground law. I think the state law supersedes the school rules, you can take the school to court. schools can not make laws, laws are upon the state not some school rules.

We balanced things out in gym class when I was in grade school and Jr high. Always had the nasty mouthed, name callers, the ones that put the glass wearing, the fat, the red haired, and slower kids down. I was 5'10/180# midway through 6th grade, built like a woman wrestler, and come gym class everyday, their were two of us that loved Dodgeball/Scatter. Teacher would make everyone participate, and we would absolutely raise big ole red welts on our fellow student a$$holes/bullies. The other kids in the class knew they were even targets, and enjoyed watching us pummel them, girls to the point of tears. My friend and I were EQUALIZERS long before it was a TV show, and we did not care, Teacher understood what was going on, and no one got hit in the face intentionally. Shame the class only lasted 45 minutes everyday. Still makes me smile to this day, and I'm 65.

I agree with you 100%. I also told my two boys that but I told him that they better win or else I will kick their ass when they got home. Guess what my kids started doing weight exercise and they never lost one of their four fights
