I'm not condoning bullying but learning how to stand up for yourself is a life skill.

[@NotThatKindOfKiwi86]

How would you learn that without being exposed to bullies? You stand up for yourself against bullies, that's where standing up for yourself comes from.

Kids are weaker and more affected by bullying since the adults went on this crusade to stop bullying for them.

Always amazed how comedians thread their way around offense and expose difficult truths. Bullying is offensive but it’s also true that coddling is ugly in terms of outcomes. The real goal is to make resilient kids and that lies between extremes.

[@tripletcobbable]

I’m sorry to say this, but you are absolutely wrong! The bully’s are the kids who don’t get enough attention at home or parents don’t teach them the right morals so they lash out in class so they can receive the attention from everyone else. That They are missing at home!

[@Rio-zh2wb]

@@tripletcobbablethis is naive. Yes, a lot of bullies are as you’ve described, but it’s not like every kid would be a little angel with good parenting. Sometimes bullying is just in someone’s nature.

[@bmetalfish3928]

@@tripletcobbable you operate under the assumption that humanity's naturally good and turns evil. There is no hard proof for that. there's a sizeable portion of every given population who'll do what they think they can get away with, and if teachers/parents think a kid cant possibly be a cunt, they'll act like a cunt until acting like one no longer appears to be a thing they can get away with. Your permissiveness and rationalisations directly lead to evil actions. Hobbes was right, Locke lived in a world where people under Hobbes constrained the worst of evils.

[@WotaMaster]

Bullying is all a game of power and control. My autistic kid was bullied repeatedly by 2 boys. One day they pushed him down the stairs. He got some scrapes and a minor fracture on his leg. I confronted the teacher and she just laughed and said its just kids having fun. I managed to get a video of the incident courtesy of another kid (and 100 bucks). Let's just say everyone learned a very important lesson that day.

[@eyeseer1]

A lot of bullies end up in prison or they end up putting people in prison. Conflict is a fact of life.

Many children don't learn to deal with bullying. They just suffer. A no-bullying policy seems great. Children may not be equipped to learn how to deal with bullying at their age. Maybe they can begin to learn once they are 15. They should be mentally more resilient then.

[@nerdtuga9180]

There is no such thing as a school without bullies. Some kids can do it in plain sight and still act like they're innocent. And if you force everyone to be nice to each other you get this environment of dishonesty where you don't really know who actually likes you or not. And when you complain about getting bullied you like the villain. This exactly what happened to me in middle school. In the school I was in before and after, they didn't expel their bullies because that only means they'll bully somewhere else. They kept them there so they could properly punish them and discipline them. And you if you were genuinely nice and not just a bootlicker, you were rewarded for it. That's the lesson kids need to learn. They have to deal with assholes and it's tough, but with enough persistence you'll their bad atitude catch up to them. Many of the bullies I had in that school grew up to be nice well adjusted people, while the bully I had in middle school will probably remain that same asshole for a long time.

[@rowlinstoned3715]

This is so true

[@MrEffectfilms]

I get where he's coming from but having bullies is not the answer. Life shouldn't be preparing kids, PARENTS should be preparing kids for life. My dad taught me how to fight from an early age and said to never start fights but if someone else starts one then I'd better finish it. He taught me confidence and how to carry myself and my Mom recognized that I had a compassionate heart and she taught me to remain true to myself and to never lose that. Bullies still came and went and that was still hard but I had something to fall back on because of the training my parents gave me. Parents should prepare you not bullies and if all parents trained their kids correctly there wouldn't BE any bullies (or Trump's) to begin with.

[@IceRungs]

Here we go again, falling back to an idealist worldview. Shit happens. Some people do not have parents, some have terrible clueless parents themselves. He's not saying to encourage bullying. The overall idea is to not over coddle or over protect kids. Expose them to rough situations, let them make quick decisions on their feet. Learn diplomacy and tact....

[@MrEffectfilms]

@@IceRungs Expose them to rough situations yes, but in a controlled environment. Parents or no bullies should NEVER be considered a good thing or acceptable in any way.

[@ATLAS-su9wf]

Yeah exactly. This is why most people should not reproduce. All for teaching how to become stronger as a person but thinking that torture is good for kids to go through isn't the way. I know this is the old way but just because some thing is old don't make it gold.

Yes and no. Bullies and jerks are a part of life at just about every age, but not all people have the ability to fight back successfully, some don't learn the rules to society like everyone else, not everyone is taught to stand up for themselves at home. Diamonds yes, but everything else is crushed. That said, humor wise he does have a good point. The problem is when a kid is the bullied by everyone and doesn't have the social understanding that everyone else does, some do deal with it and become successful, but it doesn't mean they are ok inside, or that they become well adjusted adults, if you don't deal with it in school, it will crush you later on in life eventually.
