My oldest son stutters...when he was a freshman in HS he was harrassed every morning in the cafetria before school started by this one bully...he made fun of my son's speech and even mimicked him...took his book bag or coat and would play keep away...this went on for several months..(never telling us what was happening)...one morning my husband was called to the school...my son had had enough and socked this kid in the nose....the principal was so shocked upon hearing this story from my son and witnesses that he only suspended him for a half day for hitting....but it was well worth that half day suspension because that bully never bothered him again.
Good for him and he taught the jerk a lesson too! I don't understand these school policies where the victim is suspended for defending themselves.
