No

No, because some kids legit won't stop til you've caved their facial cavities inward.

Also zero tolerance policies literally incentivize bullies to go all in while stopping short of physical violence since the bullied has no recourse without suffering the same punishment.

I wonder how many people will come ITT and say no while also going into that topic a couple weeks ago and saying that the gay guy who laid the SMACK down on the guy calling him a slur was wrong.

Hitting back makes you way worse than the bully if you have a dick and the bully doesn't

Bullies only want one thing and it's ****ing disgusting?

Nope.

That "If you hurt them back, you'll be no better than them!" is nonsense that doesn't even hold up in fiction, much less real life.

Not fighting back(In scenarios where running away or getting help aren't options) isn't brave, it's just surrendering.

I mean, unless you're like 4'6 fighting someone a foot and a half taller than you and 100+ pounds heavier. Then absolutely just give up, don't get killed for no good reason.

Of course not. That's just something bullies say to escape actual accountability. Sadly, they've duped a lot of people in this day and age.

You can either let the bully get away with it or you can teach his punk ass a lesson and make it stop.

People who think like this are enablers.
