Our son was getting bullied at high school. His mum kept telling him to just walk away. I said that doesn't work, they just keep following you because you're an easy target. I suggested my son put up with it for 3 weeks and record the conversation you had with whichever teacher you reported it to, time, date, name, whatever was said. If after that time nothing was done about it then go to the headmaster and report it to him and if still nothing was done report it again to the headmaster. If STILL nothing was done then beat the living snot out of the kid. Our son was extremely patient but no one could say he didnt report it. We got a phone call from the headmaster to come and see him. He told us he had to expel our son for violence against another student and damage to school property. When we asked why he hit the kid the clown said he didnt know so we took out the little book that our son recorded all the times and conversations he had with teachers and nothing was done about it. The jerk then claimed that he should have come to him to which we read out the times he did come see him and HE did nothing to stop it. We told him that since this was all written down it was a legal document and maybe we needed to go to court. He backed down and we said so our son doesnt get expelled and the other kid gets suspended right? As we walked down the hallway we asked our son what school property was damaged. He pointed to a line of school lockers and each had a large dent in the door where he rammed the bullies head. In short, unfortunately, yes you DO have to stand up to bullies.

[@AgeismGoesBothWays]

[@jonathanmoh]

It's true. You did great man. The teachers in school have failed our children by doing nothing. The same goes for many of the older generation. I believe that the bullying is a major factor that contributes to the school shootings we see in the States.

[@PapaEnoch052]

The same thing was happening to my daughter. So I taught some basics on fighting techniques then told her to tell the teacher and if it still keeps happening then defend yourself and not to worry about if she gets in trouble. Will....We had gotten a call from the school and I ended up explaining everything to the vice principal. We found out that the bully was going around hitting girls and my daughter made it all stop. The boy who did the hitting was the one that got in trouble.

Yup… some of my classmates were known as “Spaz” (he had epilepsy); “Jelly” (he was overweight but was a great athlete-when he ran everything on his body shook like Jello); and “Einstein” (always raised his hand first, never a correct answer given). The thing is, these kids were our friends. Their nicknames had nothing to do with bullying, they were terms of endearment. And yeah, as to bullying, if you didn’t take care of it yourself and instead told a teacher or a parent then you were marked for life. Even if you got beat up as a result of standing up for yourself the bully never bothered you again. Children today are learning the worst lesson possible: that there will always be someone there to save you. This is a monstrous lie that’s doing real damage to kids that lasts well into adulthood.

I was a shot blocker and I only got him a couple of times in thirty years, he was that good. He would tease us after the fact with the you let the fattest guy on the court routine, laughing hysterically as a group. No damage ever surfaced cause he was one of ours.

We didn't know what they were. We did however know how to ride & maneuver one at an early age 😀

[@Primalxbeast]

I remember bicycle safety classes in the 70s. We didn't have helmets, but we knew to signal before turning and not to just ride out in front of cars suddenly assuming that they would stop. Those helmets are more important for today's kids who aren't taught any responsibility for their own behavior and think that every car will magically stop on a dime if they dart out in front of them.

[@kathykeller1552]

No one would dare give nicknames like that to today's youth because everyone is so concerned about hurting feelings.

And I bet the mom loved being made fun of because of her weight. Why respect your elders when you can mock them for the rest of their life? (sarcasm). It's more than just having hurt feelings. It's about practicing what you preach. You want respect. You want forgiveness. You want to be taken serious. But tell me, what part of that can be found in mocking someone for their "affliction" as Brad calls it. Got drunk one night and puked when you were 19? For the rest of your life, you will be called "vomit". You are no longer Betty. You are Vomit. What a wonderful way to be remembered. Not by your college degree or the love you give people, or your charity. But your vomit. That's all you will ever be known for. Edit: And what's wrong with caring about someone's feelings?

5:47 - "Hope you learned to keep your mouth shut!" This is way things should be today regarding bullies, but aren't. Something like that happens today, the teacher immediately has to organize some stupid group-therapy sessions with both sets of kids and parents, think of alternative moderation-behavior techniques, etc., etc., and all this must be done in addition to the teacher's regular workload. Either that or the teacher will immediately get fired. Just one of the hundreds of reasons teachers are leaving the profession in droves.

I grew up in the country. I was barefoot in warm weather running in the woods, on the gravel road, riding my bike down a hill no hands, riding a go-cart that was too big for me, climbing up the oil drum then to the roof, then jumping off trying to land as far out as I could, plowing the field on a big farm all tractor age 11. No helmets, no shin guards, no shoes. That was in the 1950s.

[@jackwillmore2319]

You're made of brave stout stuff Millieo. I had a great childhood, my dad had been permanently injured on a tractor accident growing up. Still he raised me and my brother to be real men and to take on bullies and always do what was right. He was protective, but would not shelter us from everyday life and he knew how to have fun.

[@josez1]

So true. I got in a fight in middle school. A teacher stopped us in the middle of it and order us to go in opposite directions. Done. No parents called.

[@emdee7744]

I can't go along with the "things were better then" cliche. My siblings & I had pacifist parents. We weren't taught to stand up for ourselves nor allowed to fight. School was agony and torture. I can't even discuss what happened to some of us. My siblings are in therapy as adults.

You're all millennials. How are you any different? What have you done to set yourselves apart? The world has slowed down and hasn't changed much in the last twenty years. Believe it or not, things seemed so different as time went by and people made a big deal about decades. Do you hear people taking about living in the 'twenties and comparing our lives to the 'teens? Maybe you don't get a generation. We're living in postmodern times and there are no new generations after millenial...

Yep. Growing up in the 60's and 70's was fun. There was a fat kid in class, his nickname was Teeny. Another kid of Italian descent they called Whoppo, and both of them actually answered to their names. Didn't bother them. Teeny went on to college to play football where he got his degree, and Whoppo opened a successful business which is still thriving today. Yeah, we all had nicknames, got in fights, got picked on, but it built character. Today you couldn't get away with that. People are offended and the sensitive kids become victims instead of learning to cope, they regress into what we have today in society.

I am 71 years old and am one of the survivors who was relatively uninjured as a child. I chopped my little brothers' hand with an axe when building a tree fort. Luckily, I was able to slow the swing of the axe when I saw him move it from where he was supposed to be holding the branch. He got a few stitches from that one. The next week was 4th of July and he picked up a " fizzer" which then exploded in his good hand, peeling his thumb like an overripe grape. Another friend was a pyromaniac. He used to take the gunpowder out of bullets and put it in a paint jar, dig a hole and detonate it with long wires and a battery. One day he came to school with a bandaged thumb. He had taken the bullet out of a .22 round, poured out the powder and inserted a self-striking wooden match which he then tapped with a hammer. The primer exploded and drove the match into his thumb. I moved away soon after that, so I am not sure if he killed himself or not. We did lots of stupid things that would horrify a modern parent, but it was a good time.
