I don't agree this is the way to deal with this problem, but we have got a lot of bullies here in this country in the schools. It is a big problem. V's wife.

You take care of bullies by standing up to them. I was 5'4", 85 pounds, in junior high when I was confronted by a bully. I stood my ground ... he knocked me down. While on the ground, I kicked his feet out from under him, jumped on him, and proceeded to beat him bloody.

I was suspended for three days, but neither he nor his friends ever bothered me again.

Teach your children self-defense and then back them up when they have to use it. Bullies are not impressed by "kumbaya" and "Michael, row the boat ashore" sensitivity sessions.

I feel the same, nothing like showing weakness and rolling over in the face of aggression.

I was picked on in school, a lot, every so often I just served them up a good ol' fashioned beat-down and that seemed to "heal the rift".

No one respects the weak and apathetic.
