Did you guys go to public school? There was bullying when I was a kid. There was bullying when my parents were kids. There's bullying now and there will be bullying 100 years from now. It's human nature to establish dominance by picking on the weak. If adults are still doing it, kids will continue to do it. Not saying it's right, but you're not going to stop it by telling teachers they need to provide a safe environment. Not going to happen. Also, I get that you want your kid to be able to be themselves, but come on... you're just fucking asking for it if you're a boy and you bring a My Little Pony bag or lunchbox or whatever to school. I mean.... come on. It's common sense. Either own up to it and be like, "Yeah that's my mother fuckin lunchbox!" or don't bring it to school.
I wish there was a way to put shock collars on bullies that go off when they bully other kids Also, on the parents who buy boys My Little Pony lunchboxes
Fuck shock collars, I say put them in a situation where they look stupid and weak. Fight fire with fire.
if you are different, you are a weirdo, and people will pick on you. im all about rocking some pink shit, but ill blast a motherfucker in the teeth, thats the difference
I got bullied a lot less after getting into a couple of fights good enough to warrant three day suspensions.
Me too. In 5th grade I got in a fight with a guy who flunked and was pushing people around. I got in a lucky punch and flattened his nose. I mean, like my eyes were closed. Anyway, it all stopped and he started palling up to me- which I found even more disgusting.
Just tell your kid to start bringing a mouth guard with him. If shit starts to go down, put the mouth guard in and kick him in the balls.
Almost the same story for me, but it was 7th grade, and I blacked out halfway through pummeling the kid. But the palling around thing? Also happened. I wonder if his dad beat him, and that was the only way he knew to feel respect.
My parents finally told me "Have at it, and we'll bail you out" in sixth grade. That worked. Three fights, one per new school, but I didn't get bullied much again. I wasn't considered cool (that was never gonna happen anyway), but at least I got left alone.
Just tell your kids to play it like Frank in House of Cards. Find out the bully's weakness and exploit it. You don't want to just embarrass them, you want to destroy them completely.
What good reason would you have for not letting your kid bring an MLP lunchbox because he likes it so much?
Cost-benefit analysis. The joy he might receive from having an MLP lunchbox is outweighed by the unhappiness to be generated from the likely bullying, so I would tell my child that it is not in his best interest to have what he thinks he wants. Exception to that would be if my child were confident and self-assured enough to be able to handle the bullying in a mature manner. Few 9-year-old boys are, however.
I see, but he should be able to bring whatever lunchbox he wants. It's the bullies' fault for showing a negative reaction to what lunchbox he brings. Why should the child be told not to do something when he never did anything wrong?
