I am with you. My son was constantly provoked by another boy (that he used to be friends with) for the better part of their first three years of High School. It all culminated with 3 truck loads of "cheer leaders" and the main antagonist showing up at my house one afternoon looking to make good on a threat he had made to my son earlier in the day. My wife called me at work (about an hour drive from the house) to tell me what was going on. I told her to call the police and that I wanted to talk to my son. I told him that it would be OK if he just went in the house and ignored them, but that I understood his “need” to do what had to be done. Long story short, he tooled the kid out real good (much to the chagrin of the video phone taking idiots for a later post on YouTube). I was very proud of him, by my pride aside, he got this kid out of his face once and for all, and believe it or not, a more than mutual respect was restored.

BTW, I purposely didnt use the term “bully”...I dont like it, it ascribes power to a punk. Most kids, not all, but most are @ss5oles until they learn how they should treat other people (many times this lesson come by way of a real good @ss wooping).
