Here is a lesson I learned about standing up for oneself.

Every day the school bully would harass me and "borrow" money. Sometimes he'd take my books and throw them in the river.
This went on for almost the entire school year.

Then one day I decided I had enough.
I stood up to him.
he beat me savagely.
Then I had to flee and desert my family and change my name in the winless protection plan in Farmers Branch.
I never forgot that lesson.
Sometimes it is better to flee than to be punched ever day.

So your yellow. That's ok!

Zangief kid got suspended,:eek:.


Parents of the little kid are suing the larger kid and the school. I completely agree with suing the school.

Feel real bad for both kids, they are both just kids. Hopefully the little guy learns a lesson from this, but I imagine he has some issues of his own, in my experience bullies themselves are normally bullied at home or in other ways. And the poor fat kid, probably gets picked on all the time, what a tough dude though for standing there and taking that first punch right to the face and holding his ground. I don't blame him for his reaction one bit but there still have to be consequences to it.

Why? If anyone needs some correction it's that brats parents who weren't wise enough to teach him against treating people like dirt. Why put responsibility on a government system for your own failures?

His father should now explain to him the valuable lesson he just learned.

For what? Not being present every second of the day just in case their bullying kid's *** is handed to him at lunch?

And as far as consequences for the kid who is picked on........sorry, he's already paid them in the form of year after year of being bullied. Someone should pin a medal on that kid.

I knew a kid that got picked on a good deal because of his weight. However it always amazed me that he would take it and be afraid to do something about it to defend himself. See he was fat, but he was also very big for his age. By that I mean he was a little taller then his own age group, he had very broad shoulders and you could tell that even under the fat he was what we call big boned.

I used to tell him to stand up for himself but he would always be afraid. Used to defend him at times when others went too far.

He was a few years behind me in school. I left to go to the Army and sometime in those years he lost a bunch of weight and did not take anything from anyone.

Sadly he went to far to the extreme. Instead of standing up to bullies and defending himself, he himself turned into a bully and picked on others.

I saw him some years later and asked him if he remembered how he would be afraid. How he got picked on. How I told him to stand up for himself. How on occasion I would defend him and of course he did. Then I told him if he remembered all of that, why did he turn into the type of bully he used to despise and to think about how those he picked on felt like he used to.

I don't know how long he continued that as I really don't think I have seen him but 2-3 times in many years and just in passing at that.

But I have heard that he got married, had a little girl and turned into a pretty good family man that was neither scared of people nor a bully to others. Hopefully that is true.

The sad thing is, this kid probably thinks he's a hero and his parents back him up on it.

Yeah, you are right about it being stupid to sue the school. Its so absurd to sue the kid I guess it just makes suing the school look normal. I guess what I meant was its not surprising in this day and age that they are suing the school and I can understand their train of thought, suing the kid though is moronic, to put it nicely. I did not make that clear at all.

I still think the big kid should suffer consequences for his actions, from what I read he is not being suspended as long as the little kid was.

Reminds me of a kid in my hometown. He got in a fight on the school bus with one of the biggest kids on our bus and pretty much got his rear end whooped.

When they told his Dad all he said was, "Did you learn anything?"

Naw...the big kid's parents will just pay for the broken ankle...medical insurance or what not.

Plus, he taught that kid a lesson, free of charge.

"Both students in a fight at the school shown on the internet have been suspended ... the only injury sustained was a grazed knee."
I disagree. There is one very big bruised ego.
