Remember bullies? Weren’t they the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low? Every time I think about how I was treated in elementary school, I just close my eyes and picture the guy who used to punch me in a daily basis working in some Waffle House in the middle of a barren desert road where no one visits except road chain gangs and sweaty truckers who stick his face on the grill every time they walk in the door. Karma’s a bitch, Keeton.
According to the St. Petersburg Times, the family of a student who had his arm broken by a bully sued the school district and won without laying a finger on the bully.
The bully didn’t have to pay a dime, and I’m sure he’s rolling in lunch money.
The school district meanwhile had to cough up $4 million in damages. Not to sound heartless to the victim in this case, but according to the story he suffered permanent damages to his arm after the bully broke it in two places. He also tormented this poor kid and assaulted him before. I hope he likes Waffle House.
The worst part is the bully apologized, but the district hasn’t. The district reportedly won’t apologize until the bully returns its A*Team lunch box.

Here in Berks County, Pennsylvania, students who defend themselves against bullies are suspended from school. We homeschooled our son from fourth grade until high school because the district refused to take any action to limit bullying and actively harassed him for making trouble for the teachers by asking for help (aren’t eight year olds supposed to be able to trust authority figures). I’m very glad to see a victim recieve sufficient compensation that school districts will have to consider dealing with bullying instead of actively encouraging bullying as a method of managing their students.

When i was around 10 years old I met a bully at the playground. I didn’t back down and the bully (much older than I) beat the hell out of me. About 15 years later I saw this guy in a bar, approached him and mentioned the incident. he actually remembered it like any trophy bully would. When I told him that the kid back then was me (now over 6 ft and 245lbs) and that I felt like returning the favor ie; kicking so much shit out of him that there would be nothing left but hair and shoe strings he couldn’t express how sorry he was…. Needless to say I didn’t have to buy another beer the rest of that night… Funny though, never did see him in that bar again….

This may sound like I’m a cold hearted prick. But sometimes bullying is neccesary. Cause if no ever got bullied in school and they go out into the real world, they won’t last a second. I’m only saying that about emotional bullying. Physical bullying is just wrong.

Emotional bullying, JZ, can be taken too far. If you look at kids nowadays, you would know that with all the negativity that most kids are surrounded in will affect the way they feel more about the little things, like the way your little brother or sister was picked on could lead to a full blown fight in the middle of a parking lot or in front of the school gym. Doesn’t help either that most kids actually /like/ violence.
Though I have to agree that physical bullying should be stopped. You can never know with emotional bullying.
