My dad told me if I was defending myself not to worry about it because him and mom would take care of whatever bs came afterwards and I wouldn't be in trouble with them for doing what is right.
Yup - that made a big difference too, because punishment at home was always a more significant deterrent than punishment at school. Too bad that's probably illegal now, too.My dad told me if I was defending myself not to worry about it because him and mom would take care of whatever bs came afterwards and I wouldn't be in trouble with them for doing what is right.
Who didn't enjoy a good ol' playground scrap back in the day?
Sanford said:I was the short fat kid - I remember that somewhere around the middle of junior high school I remember saying something to my father about just not being able to beat these bigger kids, and he said if they're that much bigger it's not a fair fight anyway - pick up whatever you can lay your hands on and use it. His advice served me well, then and later, and I recently had the opportunity to pass it on to my grandson - hope it doesn't get him thrown out of school (or in jail - he lives out there on the left coast).
That was for after school.... ..theyre all a bunch-o-nancys these days, drive bys and gang bs
.Mom said :dont start it , but make sure its Finished
.Dad said: if you aint winning your playing fair...STOP it
My personal experience was stopping the bullying by fighting back. Yes, that was the early 1970's and the punishment for fighting was a paddling...it was worth it when I started winning. I also told my kids they will be 100% support from me if they defend themselves. All of you with young kids. Think about getting your kids into martial arts. It will help their confidence and performance in everyting they encounter...fist fights to school homework.
PC Schools tell the kids, if someone hits you you are to run to the Principals office. When 4yrs ago a boy shoved mine(6th graders) my Son told him to leave him alone, he did it again as my Son was stumbling he put my boy in a headlock. When he did that, my boy slipped it and split the other boys nose and lip. The were going to give my Son a 10 suspension, a $750 fine and an arrest record. We went up there, I told one Principal it was my Son's Constitutional Rights to defend himself. HE told me you leave your Constitutional Rights here at the door. We were all in the office and the head Principal told my Son, that your parents are raising you wrong and if your keep listening to them, you will wind up in jail. That was when I had to catch my Wife from coming over her desk. We took him out of school and filed a complaint. Long story short, he got a 3 day suspension for fighting and an apology. The Principal was fired the next year.
