Teach your kids to ignore B.S. and let them know bullies sometimes need to be hit in the face. You may get a beating, but that bully will think twice next time.

to the rest of you panty wearing liberals crying "violence is not the answer". a lack of violence from victims, is what makes bullies feel safe.

Coping skills are necessary

I’m a retired urban high school teacher. As Seruzawa noted in post #2, much of the bullying problem is due to lazy and cowardly administrators. In my entire career I worked with only one administrator who always took bullying seriously. That was it. Just one.

All the rest were careerists. Don’t call the police. Don’t suspend anyone. Can’t make the school district look bad.

Defensive violence at one time was the answer. But no longer. A kid who stands up to a bully WILL be jumped by a gang after school - while walking home or riding on a bus. That’s been my city experience, anyway.

So what is the answer? Parents need to document the problem. Send emails. Then file a massive lawsuit. That’s the only thing that will work.

Oh, and get your kid into a charter school if you can.

You are 100% correct. It used to be that if said something inappropriate or acted out of line, you might get punched in the face. Therefore people were more polite cause who enjoys getting a punch in the face.

There’s an Australian show called “Mr IInbetween” and the main character sums it up perfectly, Why the World is Full of A$$holes.
