A kid should not have to just take a beating. <cite>Zikten posted [p:970317865] in Is it okay... [t:80284984]...</cite> <quote>It's wrong. They try to tell kids not to defend themselves.

Prismsblade 12/21/22 2:00:51 PM #11:	Who cares what they think. Just fight back, what's the school going to do? Suspend them for a few days? Lol, whatever. At best you're get a break from the PoS you deal with on a daily basis. And no matter the circumstances of it you're always feel better afterward. --- 3DS FC:3368-5403-9633 Name: Kaizer PSN: Blackkaizer <cite>Prismsblade posted [p:970318226] in Is it okay...

Jiek_Fafn 12/21/22 2:16:05 PM #13:	I feel like the same kids that give a shit about getting into trouble from the school for this type of thing are also the same ones that are often targeted by bullies. They're the perfect victims. That's pretty fucking horrible to doom a kid to that fate. --- I don't believe in belts.

LordOfTheCats 12/21/22 6:09:38 PM #19:	One time in elementary school, I was riding the bus home, and the kid next to me kept giving me light punches, until at one point he punched me straight in the stomach. I never fought back because I was afraid of getting in trouble. When I got home that day and told my parents about this, they told me I should fight back if that ever happened again. <cite>LordOfTheCats posted [p:970323026] in Is it okay...
