[quote=SolidSnake84;789013]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 [B]anything good[/B] came from somebody "tattling"[/quote]

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.

Excellent post! I agree 100%.

Re: Bully Body Slammed
 

If you can't beat the bully it's time to take desperate measures. Sneak up in him and sucker punch him, throw some sand in his face, hit him in the nuts, use a crowbar, etc...once you standup for yourself they will fold like a scared transformer.

Re: Bully Body Slammed
 

This kid shouldn't get suspended. When the school suspended the kid for standing up for himself, they essentially said, "You can go around bullying other kids, even throw punches at them first to make yourself look good, and we'll protect you when the kid you're bullying fights back and knocks your skinny ass on the ground." I'm sorry but any idiot can clearly see plain as day he was provoked, and the kid was just standing up for himself. And yeah it's f'd up that the other kids just stood around filming it for their amusement.

[quote=saden1;788956]I like how non of the bully's friends come to his aid.[/quote]

It looks like one of the bully's bigger friends does step up but is confused on what to do/hesitant, then a tall girl comes over and kind of lightly pushes him back. Give the kids a couple more years and the big bullied kid will end up getting jumped and beat in HS unless he starts running with his own pack. Bully groups are always looking to recruit big guys so he shouldnt have a prob, im guessing they become friends after this.

But dang, that lil bully kid got his shin smashed into the curb vicious style.

Seems alot of HS kids on the metro film fights they have with other kids and even grown adults on the metro. I know every time I take the metro there is always a group of 10 or so of them cursin and acting tough. Its funny, your 14 years old kid, dont act up cuz your in a group. I have that wish factor sometimes ....

This is where I say the asshole thing.

Parents, make some friggin money so you can either send your kid to private school or move to an area where the public school student body doesn't model a gang mentality.

You aren't an asshole. You are one of a few people who shares the same beliefs about public school that I do.

I came from public school system. I know how much BS it is. And also how dangerous it is too. It is for this reason alone that my wife and I will either homeschool our kids, or work something out with a private school somewhere.

The big kids name is Casey Heynes, and he has become and internet hero. There is a facebook fan page on him calling him "Casey the Punisher". His school popularity just skyrocketed.

And the skinny little twat, his name has been identified as "Richard", and on his facebook, there are pictures of him on crutches with a [B]BROKEN LEG[/B] following Casey's retaliation.

Montgomery County Public School students stand up! I did the private school thing for a couple of years, then all public school. Parents could have easily afforded to send me to private school. But what was the point?

If you don't teach your kid to standup for themselves the first time they might end up shooting them if it continues for years.

As if there is no bullying in private and nice public schools.
