We are proud of dad too

I made my youngest brother do this to his bully whilst at school. We both got sent to the head master (principal for all you Americans) because of it, my brother got a weeks worth of lunch break detentions and I ended up getting suspended for a week as I argued with him after he said I should have spoken to the head of my brothers year, he didn’t like that I had already done so and nothing had changed or happened ( due to the bullys mum was a teacher at the school) so I decided to take matters in my own hands and got my brother to smack the bully to stop the bullying. In the end, the bully didn’t even dare look my brother in the eyes, let alone bully him again. I call that a win in my books.

I did that too after months of being bullied (petite female). School called my father and the father of the boy who was bullying me. Bully’s father took a swing at my father (older than bully’s father) and my father hit back. Being a former boxer paid off. Got a week off school and never got bullied again while I was at that school.

Nice!!!
Enjoy your time together!

I (female) slapped a male bully across the face after months and months of harassment. He had my handprint on his face even hours later. I was eventually called into the principal’s office and asked why I slapped him and I told the principal I was tired of being bullied and that I’d had enough. The principal looked at the kid and then said “What are you looking to get out of this?” The kid said “An apology.” So to avoid any punishment, I apologized. They called my parent and when I got home she asked me about it and I told her and she was proud of me. Never got in trouble. Kid never even looked at me again, much less attempted to bully me.

standing up to a bully deserves a reward

Friend of the Tate brothers. Says they’re innocent….

son was suspended for defending a kid with downs syn ( four boys pushing kid around) son handled it, in principals office i asked what happened to the other4 boys, refused to tell me, turned right to my son and asked him what new video game he wanted to play the next 3 days, principal was aghast, i said never punish a person that did the right thing

Bet your ass.. Good dad.

probably an unpopular opinion, but I also informed my kids to defend themselves against any bullying. I said to give them one chance to stop, then they were free to do what was necessary to make them stop. I gave them my story about defending myself in 3rd grade as an example.

The two oldest had to do so in middle school, and were also suspended for defending themselves, even though there was ample evidence to show they were not at fault. We also enjoyed a fun day out and then I reported the school to the district HQ and had their suspensions removed from their records.

My son has had ONE physical altercation in school — he cold clocked a kid who had inappropriately touched a friend of his.

Honestly I didn’t have a bad word to say about it. School talked to him and he had zero consequences once they heard the backstory from the original victim.

He is otherwise the most respectful and compassionate kid ever. Sometimes you gotta right the balance in your universe. 🤷‍♀️

I punched the kid who bullied me for years in the face and broke his glasses, which cut his cheek. His mom called the school and I got suspended for three days and my parents were super pissed. I had to do a ton of extra chores and lost video games. Can I get a clothes shopping day? Please?

EDIT: 37 year-old man 👋

2nd grade. I fancied myself as being one of the more popular kids in my grade. My best friend and I were called Zack and Slater by the other kids. (If you know you know). Anyways, one day, the school bully and his 2 goons walk up to me after lunch and the bully gets in my face and says something. Now. I have no idea what he said, all I remember is coming back to reality and I had him up against the lockers screaming “don’t ever mess with me again or I’ll kick your fucking ass!” It was like I had blanked out, went on autopilot, and just reacted. The look in his eyes is something I’ll never forget. That and his next words. “Oh oh ohh ok man I’m sorry man I was just uhh joking man”… in a scared little boy voice.. I released my grasp on him and let him go from the lockers… my friend said it almost looked like my eyes went completely black.. to this day I remember that moment vividly. Happened in 1992. I’ve always had a strong aversion to bullies since that day. I also know that, if pushed, under the right circumstances, I’ll turn into a different being and will put a bully in their place.

I was suspended from school for fighting with my middle school bully. I just spent the time at my grandparent’s hanging out with them. I don’t even understand why suspension is considered a punishment. It’s more like a vacation. 😛

Unlike the people’s stories I’m reading about how they became friends with their bully, I never did. He sucker punched me a few times after that. He would even pick on people larger than him. I’m not sure why they would put up with it. Perhaps they were scared of being suspended. I look into what happened to my bully in life from time to time. He’s gotten into trouble for a lot of things: fighting with a cop, selling brass knuckles, drugs, and arson. I can’t find his record anymore. I’m not sure why not. It would be good if he dropped dead. He’s a terrible person.

That didn’t happen

Plot Twist: OP’s perfect little angel is actually the bully, and he recently learned how to manipulate his parents into amusement park and shopping trips.
