Bullying must be different now?
I'm fairly young, and I've seen bullying, been bullied, and bullied others.
No one ever killed themselves.... 
I've noticed ,nowadays,kids don't have the thick skin we have.. It's so sad,but at some point,you must fight back.. I asked my son.. When someone messes with you,it's being hit that you're most afraid of,correct..? So once he hits you,the fear is gone.. Now he has to pay for what he's done.. He had his chance ,now take yours.. ! I don't think fighting in the streets is a good thing,but sometimes you must fight fire ,with fire..
I was often bullied when I was younger,but I never thought of hurting myself.. Once I hit Junior High,I lifted weights,hit the boxing club,then realized,they don't know how to fight..? To me,it was very ,very important to bring my sons to the gym with me.. All parents need to teach kids how to defend themselves.. Teach them how to throw their hands.. Parents think Karate teaches them that.. To me that shit looks like they're dancing..? LOL.. Throw your hands violently ,at those who want to hurt you.. Break someone's jaw,or nose.. That's how you stop bullying.! You'll see how quickly you make friends,or.....you don't make friends..Either way,you'll no longer be the victim..
I remember,a few years back,I was with my son,and a little crew of boys were looking at him.. So I asked him,what's that about son.? He said nothing.. I told him,that does not look like nothing.? He said ,well dad,some girls like me,and they like the girls.. So they keep telling the girls that I'm soft ,and if they see me talking to the girls they'll beat me up...! My blood boiled,I tightened up ,and had to remember,these were just kids..
So the next day,I get a call at the shop. My wife tells me,go to school,Little Worm is saying some kids want to jump him.. I get to the school,I tell him,enough all ready..! You're fighting! My son says,really..? Okay.. ! So we go outside,and none of the kids were there.. I get to the shop,and they're across the street... ! My son says that's them Dad! So i tell him ,take your shirt off,you're getting it on,right now ! We approach them,and I ask ,what's up with you kids and my son.. He's never said two words to you ,and you want to jump him.. So one loud mouth says,cause he's a bitch ass guy! I said ,okay Lil Worm,which one..? He said I don't care.. He points to the biggest one.. They square up and the kid starts swinging away.. Mind you,this kid has not touched my son once... Then he drops his hands and says Phuck it,I ain't fighting this Punk..!? So i told him,you had your chance,leave my son alone,or next time,I'll make sure he breaks your jaw.. I looked at the other kids,and asked them.anyone else..? They walked away,and I heard one kid say,we'll be back..!
So about 20 mins.go by.. I'm loading up my truck,and here some ruckus behind me,I turn around,and some guy looks at me,and yells.....YOU KOW HIM!!!? He points to the kid my son was embarassing.. So i look at him and smile... Then I told him,they're kids,it was your kid against mine... Then he yells again.. I got hot,all over,I yelled PHUCKYOU,and said what are you gonna do.. Then he says,wait ...Let's talk about it.. I told him Nah.. You want to be crazy,now let's get crazy.... ! I told him,me and you ,let's go to the back of my shop,so no cops come,and we get arrested..! He talls me,believe me,you're gonna lose ! I yelled,you wish.. Show me then.. I promise you,I won't lose.. He tells me to calm down. I tell him to go Phuck himself..
I tell him again,let's go to the yard,so we don't get stopped and arrested......Then he looks at me,and says.......I AM A COP ! SO I told him,your son is the way he is,because of you! He bullies til someone stands up to him,then he backs down..! He apologized for being aggressive,and we went in the shop ,sat down and had coffee and talked it out.. Now this guy is one of my best friends....! My son and his son are super cool,and he even comes by the shop and helps out,and he is one of the most well mannered boys,I've ever met...
Sorry,once I start typing,I can't stop..!
