Be biologically male and female

This story can be seen from various perspectives. The kid was intentionally disturbing the guy who beat him - so he lied about bullying. Then he trained to take revenge, got kicked out, and taught his son to be a fighter too. The father's intentions and approach were 100% appropriate as he thought the kid was bullied. For me this story shows the long-lasting damage a single small lie can cause.

I never fought back against my bullies. I still regret it to this day. I played it safe and didn’t want to get in trouble with my parents and the school. This is probably one of the reasons why I get overly defensive whenever I perceive someone being disrespectful towards me. “Just ignore them” was horrible advice. But today as an adult you have to pick your battles and it’s hard for me to do that because I never took the chance to defend myself when I was younger.

Really, it's the dumb environment we are in. Kids aren't being raised right. I've never been picked on since. But, kids don't learn the rules of the jungle anymore. We are in a feminine society now.

[@Furebel]

I was bullied for 9 years in school, and what stopped it was that I fought back. Once. Everyone in family told me "ignore them, they will leave you". Instead they turned me into a punching bag that would never fight back. But one day my usual bully went overboard. He harassed my girlfirend. So I responded. I threw a cup from my thermost at him, and stood tall while he assesed the situation. He quickly pinned me down to a wall, beat me up, and then the teacher arrived. He had some issues due to that, evem tho all my "friends" said I attacked him unprovoked... Still, he ignored me till the end of the school. Literally ignored my existence. Zero interaction, like I was air. It was... refreshing. Hell I noticed even some girls were picking on me, but I didn't knew if it was because I fought back, or because everyone than knew I just got a girlfriend.

This should very much be highlighted. Often the victim plays the bully, then easily cries victim again when it suits them (or when they get pummeled back by people who won't take their shit).

[@soollik]

Exactly. Parents should teach their son to respect others and be negotiable first. Violence should always be the last resort. I was bullied only once at school by just one guy. I was the kind of a kid to tell teachers and stuff, maybe that's why he hated me, but everyone else really didn't seem to care about our little conflict. It ended when our parents phoned each other. After that I genuinely apologized to him for being a snitch, he said sorry too. Then we just never talked. A lot of the times I really wanted to just retaliate and straight up fight him, but I'm glad I didn't. I can imagine the unnecessary injuries, the expelling, and worse, not acknowledging me being wrong. But idk, maybe I'm just lucky because I was going to the schools where studying could get really intense and competitive, so kids didn't have time for any of that bull.

[@AzzRushman]

Back in school I was picked on for a speech issue I had. The majority of the school was into bullying each other into some kind of stupid hierarchy, there were fights on a daily basis regardless of where you spent your time. I defended myself properly against physical bullying, I even made one guy shit himself with a lucky hit, but the bullying didn't really stop at all. Some people just enjoy to fight and love being angry/intimidating, and I haven't seen anyone talk about that. The only time I managed to make someone stop messing with me was by threatening to break their arm and fingers. Luckily he stopped, I still feel like something in me would have went south if I happened to twist it a little bit further. My father was proud, he even pushed me to escalate things by using blunt objects. My mother didn't see any physical damage on me, so she wasn't too worried. Only my grandfather noticed how angry I was all the time, even if I didn't express such anger at home, he knew. Even after defending myself and winning almost every fight, I constantly felt like shit. Being angry and always alert for years. It was stressful, and later on it made me insecure about trusting others. It took me a decade to identify my trauma of not trusting others, not to mention the violent flashbacks of hurting people over silly matters and feeling miserable about it. Even as an adult, it still takes me about 2-3 months to get used to a group being nice to me without feeling like they are just pretending. The last time I fought I was unprovoked. I was constantly angry due to almost daily fights, and one of the bullies tried to make amends and be friends. I replied by beating him up. It felt so insulting having him to choose whether we are in good terms or not, specially when I was so peaceful when they decided to pick on me. I felt so bad about it, and decided to end that loop. In the end, the only thing that made me avoid problems was to try my best to fit in, even with people I despised. Eventually I didn't stand out enough to be picked on, and they went on to bully someone else. The peaceful days lasted about a month until graduation finally came, and even after that those guys still acted like they could intimidate and fight people over anything. Eventually I moved and started living a more quiet life. Some people are not worth fighting. It's no use trying to beat an idiot for being uncivilized, some people won't change no matter what, and some will even find it rewarding to have someone they can fight. They don't care about getting hurt nor being prone to major harm, they are enjoying it. Do try to defend yourself, but if you find out it is taking too long to fix the problem, don't be shy to move to a better circle if you can. It's not worth it to alter your personality over unreasonable people. You are in school to study, to educate yourself, and to become a good asset to society.

Just a ginocentric society can make people think that just ignoring or calling the school director will change something, in what a weak world we have being raised, however I got bullied and I didn't fight back, I was afraid and alone against a lot of them, and I was already depressed before,imagine after that ,however this is another proof why you should fight back with words of if necessary with fists, the memories of that time sometimes still haunts me, 12 years have passed ,you will lose all your self respect , you will be ashamed of yourself and your overall self -esteem will be damaged ,especially because those years when you go to school are so crucial for your development, I was weak and I paid and trust me ,not being able to respect yourself and feeling evirated as a man , I think is the most painful feeling a man can sense, so do not listen to the bullshit ,fight back.

[@TheAngray12]

I was bullied hard when I was younger and I confirm there is nothing more frustrating to not atleast try to defend yourself. I wish I did. I made the mistake to listen to those adults who told me that I should ignore the bullies or give them the other cheek until it stopped. It never stopped and it destroyed me. I was ashamed to even tell my parents but I tried to get help from the teachers. It's useless, they don't care or they give you garbage advice. Fighting is the only way. Now I am 30 and my life is a mess. I can't connect with people despite wanting to. I can't have a girlfriend. I feel like a failiure everyday. Like the video said atleast try.

I think that standing up for myself was the best fucking thing I ever did in school. I was always one of the smallest kids, but I would never run away or roll over when push came to shove.

Only after I started working out and actively making physical progress did I have a genuine feeling of self worth. I haven’t done great things yet, but I’m working toward those things.

I got picked on pretty viciously in middle school.... right up until the day one of them pushed me a little too far and then started laughing in my face. I snapped, grabbed him by the head, and slammed it into his desk. It didn't make me any friends, but I didn't get picked on any more after that. I did get in trouble with a teacher, but they were as ineffective at punishing me as they were with everyone else, so I got away with just having to write a letter about how sorry I was. (Not at all, of course, but I lied.) People respect force, but you have to remember school authorities are people too, and they can play favorites just as much as the students do. And if the students hate you, the teachers probably do too. If you HAVE to use force, try to make it quick and relatively subdued so they don't have much ammo to use against you.

What the father says is absolutely correct. If you give people an inch especially when it comes to bullying, it never stops and leads to worse outcomes. When you show you are strong it gets you into trouble because you become stronger than the threat against you. In todays world where bullys, criminals, and any other provocateurs get more protection, you have to teach your child to defend themselves. No one else will do it for them. Todays sentiment even without facing physical altercations is to project weakness as a means to avoid conflict, that is not how the world works though.

[@DaveThaBossDTB]

I was bullied in high school too and fought back and lost more times than I won. However, fighting is not always the answer. And I say that because I fought one time in the gym locker room against 3 other people and almost had my head smahed against one of the ceramic urinals. During the fight, I had a realization where it was like "I don't care about winning, I just need to make sure I survive this." Everyone's situation is different but, you can still remain tough and not fight. I love when Jordan Peterson talks about being a monster but learning how to control it. Same idea as you would rather be a warrior in the garden than a gardener in war.

My story went for the mom ending. I escaped from my fears for 4 years, I didn't even went to school 'cause I was afraid of bullies. I totally left social life, closing myself in my room and playing videogames with my friends. Only now I realised I made bad choices. My dad didn't teach me to defend myself. "just ignore them" he used to say. But I couldn't. Every insult, or joke (innocent sometimes) were HEAVY in my head but I didn't have the strength to react. Just standing angry and silent in a corner, letting people to judge everything. If you let weakness win, it will take over you and you'll cannot react. You will be a ghost, a pathetic person who cannot stand up even for his own life but just letting life happen. THAT'S THE BIGGEST MISTAKE YOU COULD DO FOR YOURSELF. I still having LOTS of self-esteem issues, but at least I'm TRYING to change. I want to be better every month. When you're feeling depressed, like a nobody, it's because IT'S TRUE. Is your own instinct who's saying: "dude, you're doing everything wrong". You're not the good version of you. When you feel bad about yourself means that you must change.

One of my elementary schools was actually pretty cool. I was in 8th grade and an A student, quiet with sometimes outbursts of rapping or singing, but those were kept to a minimum. The faculty all saw that I was a good kid and never acted out in class. So some kids did mess with me for that. The faculty always punished the bullies though. I remember we were sat at the reading carpet. We had a few benches, but we couldn't fit anyone else so some brought chairs. This one kid sat behind me. He and his friends kept grabbing people's sides as a joke. When it got to me. I ignored the first few. Then he kept on, so I told him to stop. He kept going, I sat 'Stop' louder. The teacher looked at them and told them to knock it off. That didn't deter them. They kept going until I ended up giving him a Spear from WWE. We bumped into a few desks on the way to the ground. He ended up on top of me but I had him in an armbar. The teacher told us to stop, sat us back down and sat me away from him. No muss no fuss, the rest of class was as productive as it could be. The school allowed me to defend myself because they knew the type of student I was. They knew that most of them were going through hard times and acting out as a way to cope, but they still needed a little bit of order.

I was a bully at school, I learned over time to overcome the urges to bother people. It didn't come from violence, in fact it came from mutual respect by working together as studies got steadily harder. Encouraging violence to solve disputes would only result in hidden resentment and disconnect that school are meant to help children avoid and build lasting friendships. It's positive idea to focus on physical hobby to help keep body in good shape and help boost confidence in times of need when your confidence is put to test in school. It's not about brawn, it's about image to convey your maturity. Even a weakling can be a bully, and schools are there to reap the seeds of unnecessary drama.

about the school system: no matter what, you will end up being penalized anyway. i remember so many times ending up in the principals office and getting the same thing the guilty party was getting for no reason. remember that the other side will always lie. the teachers will just give everybody the same thing just for not being "able" to sort the truth out. one time i was even kicked out of class for 3months for having written on the back of a federal exam, about how that said exam sucked and it was poorly thought out. that teacher hated me and complained about how i was insulting her or something to the principal. despite that exam being a federal one and that it wasnt supposed to end up in her hand anyway. at the end they literally kicked me out of HS because i had missed too many classes (no joke). when i was going back to pick up my things the secretary was running after me to sign a form. it was written on it "voluntary departure"- they had set me up. i refused to sign it and she ended up yelling about how she was going to forge my signature anyway. i am so glad everybody has cameras and recorders now in their pockets. people dont realize how much easier they have it now.

[@voided5794]

Didn't see anyone talking about this but.. the description in 4:41 says "I saw that 3 people partly deciphered my code. If you manage to guess it in its entirety I leave the knowledge or share it with the rest of the..." so there might be a code in the video, which matches with what the dad was saying, and the channel name (LEARN THE CODE) Edit: I've come to realization that the "code" is supposedly the meaning behind the 4 part series (there's most likely a 5th video in the making), so I'm gonna write down an analysis of what I've understood so far. PART 1: The video portrays the difference between traditional men and modern men through the story of a father and son with a good relationship. There are two moments worth highlighting, the first being when the father talks about how his wife got rid of the grandpa's images, which is foreshadowing to part 4 and hinting that the grandpa is disliked, the second moment is when he questions his son's on what he's drinking presuming that the reason his son isn't as masculine is because of what he's been consuming, which possibly hints to the stereotype of a "soyboy" who's weak because he drinks soy products, but then shuts it down since all Ivo was drinking was water. PART 2: The video continues the story, this time it shows how un-masculine Ivo is, and that his father is worried by it, but nonetheless, the father still respects his son and doesn't try to force him to do anything, instead he tries to have some father time with his son by playing catch, going to a shooting range and fixing the shed, which could instill some masculine values in him. On the other side, it shows Ivo's respect for his father, his self-reliance and his willingness to learn and improve by showing how he doesn't shutdown any of his father's idea and goes along with them incase there's something worth learning. Two things are worth noting, the first being the father's commentary of the modern word of consumerism and how everyone is only in it for the buck, and the second being the scene where the father closes Ivo's bedroom door where he seems indifferent. PART 3: This video continues the commentary on masculinity with its story, where the father and son are going on a camping trip. The father tries to be protective by lying to the mother to not worry her, and booking a cottage instead of using tents while underestimating his son. Ivo is shown to be prepared with his downloaded wilderness videos, and his care for his father when not wanting to chop the wood and giving his dad his jacket to cover during the night, it also shows that Ivo is mentally strong and that possibly growing up with unrestricted internet access has lead him to grow desensitized to what some could consider gruesome or inappropriate, at home the mother points out how Ivo is actually trying his best and to give him some time. Like the last part, the video ends with the father closing the door of Ivo's bedroom, but this time he seems happy and hopeful. PART 4: This part is different, it shows the past of the father as some annoying kid, which lead him to getting beaten, and it showed how his parents reacted differently. The mother wanted to call the school and be overly protective, while the father wanted to be aggressive and teach his son how to defend himself but took it a little too far, both parents never considered what the son wanted to do and were pushy. This lead to the suspension of the son, but gave Ivo the lesson that no matter how bad you think you are, you can Improve and get better with time. CONCLUSION: I think the main point of this series is showing the importance of good parenting, today's age sadly lacks it, and many young individuals are left confused or scared on what they want to do. There are many lessons to learn from this series. Firstly being that we should always try, no matter the circumstance, with enough courage anything can get better. Secondly, is the importance of good parenting, whether you have a good parental figure or not will play a role in how you end up later in life, some manage to overcome hardship and reach a better life without father figures, but that's sadly the exception and not the rule, so we should respect our parents knowing that they are trying their best, and in the future, be great understanding parents aswell. Thirdly, being less reliant on consumerism, sometimes its better to just cut the grass yourself rather than call a gardener, some people are in it for the buck and will put in minimum effort even with good pay, so it's important to just do the work if you are able to, instead of paying someone else to do it.

And obviously it was a mistake, now as an adult, the mental scars of being bullied will never leave me. years of working out and learning kickbox in early adulthood didn't help, it's too late to fix the trauma, i will forever feel weak, and question if i can defend myself or the people around me when the time comes.

I get that. It wasnt your fault tho and im sure if it happened for ur loved ones u would defend urself

As a 3 year Kyokushin karate student I can 100% conform that this is accurate, in around 7th grade 2020 to 2021 3 kids ganged up on me with one being the notorious school asshole and the other two being his lackies. He literally slammed my head against a door and I did nothing, and when I got to the office I cried like a pussy and got suspended anyway. It was only after I learned to fight and actually cared about improving my skills I learned to thrive in the rush it gives you when in combat with another man, as I type this comment it is my current purpose in life as an adolescent teen.

That's a good father, and the mother is a good mother aswell. They both has their own ways of seeing things, and both are good ways. In our current society, you'll have to fight to **Survive**. Altough sometimes, for thoses who cannot take on stuff, nor fight and that might fall in a deep depression, (was my case 5 years ago and the social fear is still pursuing me) the mom's way is a good way. They basically has both differents ways, but both are right.

I used to be in a brutal household with a lot of drinking and drugs, growing up fighting my dad physically when he'd threaten my mother. I was used to fighting bigger people & responding to bullying with aggression & always got in trouble nonstop, I stopped being able to stand up without being in trouble & learned from it to not stand up for myself anymore which took ages to undo.

I also grew up having to stand against anything that came my way. Sure, I got knocked down, but then I got up again and hit them harder 🤕
