Why bullying in schools must stop

Another fine post. +1 to your rep.

Dont ever start (*)(*)(*)(*), but if someone starts (*)(*)(*)(*) with you, finish it. I agree 100%.

I also agree 100% to help others who cannot stand up for themselves.

 

Bullying has occurred in schools since the very first day that the very first school became operational. It just isn't going to stop.

 

Bullying sucks, but it isn't gonna stop.

 

You have leftist loser permissive disipline to thank for that. All that is available now is reactionary and ineffective non-disipline to deal with the problem, made worse by the fact that parents are hog tied in punishment as well. It all started with "I'm OK, Your OK....leftist loser hogwash.

 

LOL if you say so.

 

A agree. But I think parents must take a more proactive approach, like enrolling their bullied child in self defense classes. I speak from first hand experience. I was the fat little kid with glasses everybody loved to pick on. Unbeknown to my Mom my Dad took me to a self defense class. The next time my favorite bully decided I was a fat juicy little target, I pounded him into the ground like a tent stake, when one of his buddies tried to intervene, I broke his nose with one punch, no one else tried. From that point on all the bullies avoided me like the plague. I grew up and went to school in the 1960's, things haven't changed that much except parents shielding their kids from unfortunate facts of life. My self esteem soared and the bully, his pal and I survived. Just call me old school.

 

...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...so I'm guessing you lied about being in the Marines with that attitude...

Sorry to break it to you, but bullies are a fact of life. They'll never go away.

 

...you are pretty naive...you know most parents don't even know their children are gang affiliated AND the vast majority would completely deny it if they were told...as far as the "those kids are trash" comment, come on, I've seen you trash liberals on this forum without concern for their feelings so what makes you any different?...I know it's harsh but if a kid kills themself there was something seriously wrong with them and a kid that doesn't want to live is going to be tortured every waking moment of life...what kind of life is a kid going to have if every time they come into crisis their only thought is killing themself?...call me cruel, but sometimes it's better for someone to end it then go through life drugged up or in mental anguish constantly...if I was ever that unhappy, please shoot me if I can't do it myself...

Maybe you should raise your son to be a man.

Men dont have problems with "bullys"

 

If all bullying stopped tomorrow, I wouldn't expect much of a drop in homosexual/transgender suicides. At over 20% something else is wrong. Expect some nasty replies... but... I am not suggesting what else is wrong, or its link to suicide, but... I am sick of bullying being blamed. It is bad, and vulnerable people will take it to extremes... but the question is what makes them vulnerable? Why are they so linked to depression?

Lots of demographics get bullied. Homosexual/transgenders own titles in pretty much all cross sections of suicide.

 

Thanks for posting your side of the story and how it worked out well for you b/c your dad did the right thing by taking you to self-defense classes.....

The trouble is the parents then and it's worse now don't talk to their kids and laying down the law about not bullying and when they find out their little Leroy (and Lucy) are bullies, they just shrug it off and don't do a thing about it.....

As far as I'm concerned, that starts during the kids early elementary yrs about never ridiculing, mocking and teasing kids who are 'different' or just b/c they get mad at someone. That is NOT when parents should be saying 'kids will be kids'... it's a form of cruelty and it steadily gets worse as they get older and into their teens. These parents are creating monsters and to dumb and blind to see it..... or they just-don't-care!

 

It works. Put a bully in the hospital and he'll leave you alone. If he ends up crippled, all the better.

 

Quietly walk up behind one of them the next day, whip a thin cord (a silk necktie twisted into a thin cord works, so does a shoelace) over his/her head, give him/her a hard kick in the knees and PULL! When bully takes a dump in his/her pants, run.

 

I had a couple that were friends of mine for some time. Her son had discipline problems in school, especially cutting classes. We were all together one night and she was discussing her son's problems. I choked on my Diet Coke when she said it was her job to get him there in the morning, but their job to keep him there. What did she have in mind handcuff him to the desk?

 

If you wait for other people or the state to take care of (*)(*)(*)(*) for you, you will always be left hanging. I know it sucks, but (*)(*)(*)(*), people need to be proactive, especially when their child is involved. There had to be warning signs all the way up to the suicide. Yes it sucks to have to do it, but yank the kid and home school him or send him to another school. Life is seldom fair, and at least he would still be alive. Kids are monsters, especially in packs. Unless psychopaths, they don't think about (*)(*)(*)(*) until later. Guaranteed the majority of those kids chanting that will be haunted by it for life, especially as they have children of their own. You know if your kid is tough, or on the weaker side. If your kid is on the weaker side, get them the hell out of the situation. It is your duty as a parent.

 

Violence is never the "best way", for anything.

Good.

Good.

Like all those wars that women keep starting?

 

Violence is absolutely necessary at times, our founding fathers knew that.

Of course bullying is wrong, but you have to teach your don how to be man and fight back. Bully's don't pick on people that fight back, they look fir easy targets.

Humans are (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s, will always be bully's and worse, don't be naive, it's a rough world.

 

1. Some people just aren't wired for violence. There are exceptions to every rule, though normally I would agree with you.

2. I think a lot of people don't realize the level of violence with youth these days. It is not the old times where 2 guys would duke it out and hug and respect each other later. 6 kids could kick the crap out of him until unconscious and then smash his head in with bricks.

Parents should have got the kid out of the situation, ASAP.

 

Violence is never the "best way".

 

are there any collaborating witnesses?

 

Guess so....... she & the dad were failing their son. He had problems that they were ignoring...... there's only so much a teacher can do and the parents have to work together w/the teacher - and it's up to the parents to find out what was going on in his head and why the behavorial problems. There's always an answer to this type of thing w/kids - I don't suppose this kid graduated.......

 

Absolutely agree....... you said it well.

 

I have no idea, when I took them to task on that, our friendship ended.........Oh well!

 

As much as I hate violence, often that is what will stop a bully in his tracks.... to be given a taste of his own medicine. There's seldom any reasoning w/these teen bullies. They feel 'tough' - especially when they have their cheerleaders......

I had posted about my son stepping in and taking on the bully. I didn't like it, but knew I had to let Mark do what he felt was right. My bf was a Marine and talked to Tom about it, asking what should I do? His answer was very clear "Exactly what you're doing - stay out of it." But then he talked to my kid about this and even gave him some pointers in fighting, always stressing 'keep it fair." ......
