School Bully

Violence can be a solution. Walking away just perpetuates the bullying. When I was in school it about fighting back. Bullies don't pick on kids that MAY fight back.

Suddenly it's about pacifism? The bully isn't going to buy in to pacifism!!!

I was bullied by one individual in grade-school. Poor guy had braces on his teeth when I lashed out.

In high-school I was made a target by the Jamaicans (akin to Gypsies), because of a rumour that a fellow student started. False but effective.


I stood the leader down and challenged him. Borderline insane behaviour since they work as a pack. When I said, "Let's fight, one on one. And I'm sure your friends will still respect you after they jump in to save your ass" it was over. The humiliation of losing that fight was greater than that of walking away. If he fought, I was facing a beating one way or another. But I weighed 180lbs with 5% body fat, and was trained to fight. But not 15 guys at once.

I wouldn't recommend that strategy against a group, but it supports stand up against the bully

This Tesla is why schools don't believe in the real law.

Basicly when you step in side the school grounds it is like stepping forgein soil, the laws of the country you live in don't apply.

This basicly mean you can't defend you're self from a bully, if you do you get in more trouble than the bully.

I used to get annoyed at school by similar rat like bullys that annoyed me, and i told the vice princable "Do something or I will!", later that day i did do something when the bully came back to annoy me.

My experience in UK schools says different, not to say all are good, but when I was bullied in about year 8 (I hadn't quite had my growth spurt by then...) I went to the teachers and they sorted it out. The main protagonist actually came up to me and apologised and we're now friends. Kids are kids after all.

Though I don't always think that is the only way, everyone reacts differently and there is no definitive way to stop bullying. Sometimes, like in the mentioned video, you need to show that you need to be respected and they'll move on.
 
Not all schools are like that sureboss.

I was annoyed by some year 9's when i was in year 12, i never fought back.

All they did was just yell, an throw what ever they could get their little hands on, I told the vice principal servral times.

After 3 months and another complaint the principal said "Their is nothing i can do", from that day i kept a nice thick and long branch(approx 3cmx3cmx45cm) in my cubical in the senoir quad.

One day they came back, i acted like i was ignoreing them and not paying attension, they came closer.

Then i lashed and they ran so i threw the branch at them, it ended up hitting the ground bounced off the ground and hit him in the lower back, he made this sweet sound of pain, he ended up walking off.

After that he never bothered me again and he was not hurt too badly.

And i never got introuble from teachers or principal.

But i never bullied anyone and only resorted to this because the school would do nothing.
 
Luckily, I myself have never been physically bullied (only verbally), but I can cope with that. I am currently in my last year of cumpulsary education, and it seems everyone at my age has realised that bullying is pathetic in one way or another.
I have recently taken up boxing as a self defence, fitness and confidence boost, and it has worked wonders, because you know that you can put up a fight if assholes like this turn up in your life.
Back on topic, I think that kids like this deserve what they get when the tables are turned, and any adult that believes the most effective way of beating bullies is ignoring them, then they clearly need to see some of the things that children have to put up with, like this incident. Just walking away doesn't cut it when you are cornered by multiple people with no other way out other than to break through.
100% respect to the kid who stood up for himself:tup:
 
I hold the firm belief that this is sometimes the only way to get the message across. When I began schooling, I went to a public school where scum like the little runt ran free and honestly, there will never be a cure to this kind of low-life trash. I now go to a Grammar school where there hasn't been a fight in over 5 years and there is not one person I'm not on good terms with, but the area where the young runt came from is honestly, the roughest area in Sydney (Sorry to offend any Mt Druitt residents), and consequently acts like this happen weekly. I think that Casey's actions have stood up for a number of kids not only in Australia but across the world in terms of bullying.
 
When I was 11 I was only 133cm tall, and I went from elementary to junior high, I was by far the smallest and youngest in class, maybe in the school, and ofcourse I had a bully.
It went on for a year and then he got kicked off school.
Sadly for him I grew a lot, and 4 years later I was 183cm tall, and went 4 times a week to the gym. And their he was too. Needless to say I got even. I still have his toothmarks in my right fist. 👍
 
Being on the very thin side of size, with glasses, and a not-so-clear complexion, as well as a "nerdy" attitude, I was usually picked on. I have a "3-hit rule" where I don't fight back unless I can see intent to harm, or 3 hits from the opponent land. One day, a kid just took things too far. He called me a "raggedy weasel," [My clothes aren't the most expensive, and I'm thin-framed] and proceeded to hit me once. Then his friend Kicked me in the leg, nearly breaking it. My adrenal gland kicked in, and I broke two of the first kid's ribs with one solid side kick. The other kids backed off. It's been three years since, and I haven't been bullied yet. Yeah, I got suspended, but everything's gone smoothly since. And it was all on school security footage.

If somebody is hitting another kid with intent to injure (like the bullies on you, or Casey), the victim is perfectly justified in lashing out. Defending yourself shouldn't be a suspendable act. Does school administration think that "talking to them" and trying to hug it out is going to work? Most bullies have serious personal issues, and a total lack of confidence. Sometimes the only way to get them to smarten up is to take action like you did.

I'm lucky in that I've never really been bullied much at school, but it just frustrates me how someone who gets picked on and assaulted day after day, one day decides to defend himself, and then he's the bad guy. Schools are ridiculous, "using your words" is great, but if somebody's kicking me because I look funny, odds are there's nothing short of fighting back I could do to get him to stop.

This made big news today where I live. It featured in the papers, on radio and on tv.

According to reports the big kid that fought back has been bullied all his school life and looks like he's finally had enough. Both the kids were suspended from school for four days.
I've got a couple of questions. Personally I don't condone violence.

Do you think the bullied kid was justified in his reponse?
Do you think the school took the correct action in suspending both kids?

I was always tought as a kid (i'm 37) never ever start a fight or to go looking for for trouble but to defend myself if it was required.

Bullying in schools concerns me greatly as I school age kids of my own.

Thoughts?

Cheers Shaun.

Here's my take on this... Personally I don't see anything wrong with what the bullied kid did. He wasn't looking for trouble, but trouble found him, and he put that to an end. I think the bully got lucky considering that the big kid didn't completely loss it and stop a mudd hole in his ***. I think the action the school took was wrong but my guess is that they did so to cover their (as an old instructor of mine use to say) "assets." I truly hope that the parents of the bullied kid commend him, rather than reprimand him for his actions. I hope this kid's parents take this opportunity to teach their son that it's ok to defend yourself, even if the outcome isn't going to be politically correct. On another note, I think the bully needs some psychological counselling to workout his issues, since his parent(s) haven't addressed them.

No, it's not. There's a difference between defending oneself and fighting back. Breaking two of someone's ribs is a little extreme. And if the school were to allow the victim to stay in school simply because they were defending themselves, it opens up a precedent for other students to abuse in future.

As I said... My adrenal gland kicked in. And I only had let off ONE kick. I wasn't TRYING to hurt him. I was TRYING to get him to back off. And he did. As did his friend. I have since never hit anyone, due to my fear of me hurting them.

Note: I use capital letters to emphasize due to my use of an iPod to get on GTP, and some of you may be thinking: "Hey, didn't this kid post about having a custom rifle and various other things?" That's because two people use this account. Just to clarify.
 
The little brat got what he deserved.

This happened to me when i was in grade school.These two guys would always pick on me.Poking at me,calling me names,throwing my books on the ground(i never got hit in the face though).They kept doing this for years to me.I had enough and without thinking i snapped and started beating the living daylights out of my locker.I'm not one for violence so when they seen me do this they backed down off of me.Mind you i weighed maybe 100lbs soaking wet.

The crazy thing out of all this is when we got in high school we became friends.
Also word got around in high school that i was crazy,so no one messed with me :lol:
