I think your post was an assumption. What you're saying is that the bully just finds someone else to bully. Isn't that special?

And if kids defended themselves instead of "use your words" or "tell someone" there would be less bullys out there. A 2 day suspension means nothing to them while a bloody nose does especially when all their followers see it. Gives a bully second thoughts about who they bully.

No assumption on my part. Worked for me as a kid and also worked for my son in school and worked for a colleagues daughter in her school.

Yeah...that's right..THREE experiences in my little world that worked when "old fashioned values" were used.

Hmm...
Even though I dont agree with all the politically correct conformity being shoved at us all the time, I still believe in tact, diplomacy and the power of suggestion.
And I still heed a saying I read from the bible long ago: "Out of the mouth the heart speaks."

When did America become such a nation of pansy's? What happened to the good old days when you can just speak your mind? Toughen up people. This is getting embarrasing for this country amongst other things that there are to be embarrased about. There's too much political correctness going on.
How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb? 1, and that's not funny!!!

Fighting a bully usually goes the wrong way for the victim and sometimes they end up dead. The real world is not like TV.
