What makes you THINK we are arguing? You are just ASSUMING that we are arguing based on what is written and that is incredibly SILLY of you. Instead of that you should inquire, ask questions, call Miss Cleo to try and determine in some manner what we are ACTUALLY thinking and not what we are actually saying to each other. Perhaps the problem is REALLY that YOU make knee jerk ASSUMPTIONS about things like this and NO I am not defensive I just have a really really really lot of words I must use here to clarify my position that was messed up earlier but now I am not so damn sure.
Anyway if you insist on bullying me I will have to contact the authorities to have your cell phone taken away and I really don't want to do that so don't force me to. lol

I agree, although it's not socially acceptable to encourage your children to fight back. I'll tell you what can happen to the kids being bullied .... they can develop a hatred toward those bullies and harbor those feelings for YEARS then explode when they perceive they are being picked on or bullied again. I've seen it happen to people I know first hand.
I fought back eventually when I was a kid in school, and the girl that had been harassing me stopped - imagine that. So fighting back can solve the problem.

My kids are being raised to defend themselves, and others. That's how I grew up. You didn't run from bullies, you knocked 'em on their ass. You never started trouble, but you damn sure didn't run from it or turn a blind eye either. I think that is a good way to live. And if the schools today don't like it, they can kiss my ass. I'll home school before I groom my children into habitual victims.
Maybe the problem is to stop encouraging kids to allow themselves to be victimized... for that is what we are really doing. Grooming our kids to be sheep.

Keep out!
You can't blame the (cell, computer, network) for bullying. Bullies will use whatever tools they can. You have to address the bully directly. And doing it as a group doesn't work either, it has to be one on one. Assemblies are a time to sleep, text and talk with friends.

Amen.
This is one of the scariest aspects of parenting to me. That's a fine line to walk.
BTW, Pete & Turbo need to fight more often, that was thoroughly entertaining.

Some bullies only understand an ass kicking plain and simple.

It may be a good idea so long as the child is not deranged psychologically that your child is standing up to. That way the child can understnad that your child is not backing down. Today, 23% of kids in schools have some type of differences, whether it is chemical or biological. Many times it is evident that the parent(s) are part of the problem, whereas they don't bother to stop their child from known bullying. If anything, they support it. There are many parents I've seen that portray themselves as being a bully, while they are a parent of a child and instilling their same beliefs in to their child. A large part of the problem is that many parents take time to have a child, but take little time to be a father or mother who would instill good morals and values in their child. When schools have called for parent/teacher conferences, good luck. One of them might show up. But when the school tries to discipline the child, the parent is all over the school, claiming only I discipline my child. Cyber bullying remains a significant concern and so far, it is no where near being under control. With cyber bullying, kids may not know their attacker, and certainly wouldn't see him or her.

I have a carrot topped male in a school district which is known for not tolerating any kind of crap.
He got some kind of thrill from South Park and now calls himself a "Ginger".
Thick skin works. A good school district and parents also work.
He will not have a facebook account, etc, until he's 16. He doesn't need it.

"Gingers" are a nick name for red headed kids. In fact, there is a specific "Ginger" bullying day, although I don't recall when it is. However, this is something that can easily be Googled. As I understand it, it originated overseas. It started as a mild prank for red heads, which in the U.S. turned severe.

Its kick a ginger day..comes from southpark..and the us did not turn it severe..one kid got beat up and made it on the news. And I am willing to bet they had other reasons than his hair color to kick his ass.
