| Topic | How did you handle bullying? How would you handle your kids being bullied? |
| M-Watcher 10/15/18 4:42:21 PM #17: | I got angry. I tried getting school staff involved and was hardly ever believed. Eventually gave up and resorted to violence, got reprimanded a few times by school staff, bullies usually got off with no issue. At my first year of college, where, surprisingly, bullying was at its worst (which, at that point, is not bullying anymore, it was pure harassment), I got campus security involved. Made it so the most dangerous bully would get in trouble if he ever got near me. He obviously was let off easy because he was a football player, but I certainly made his pastime of harassing people quite difficult for him. If my child was bullied, I would get the bully's parents involved, I would get the school or whatever involved, I would cause a bit of a ruckus, while also trying to encourage my kid to try to not take it hard, or try to turn it around. While I wouldn't encourage violence, I wouldn't discourage it either, especially if it seems like a better option than most. I really don't want school staff and parents take the same apathetic attitude as I dealt with when I was a kid getting bullied. My parents weren't that great at responding to bullies, but sometimes they tried. I want to do more than just make sad attempts. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
