My son was bullied at school. He pointed out the culprit to me when out riding one day. I (quite politely) told the child who I was and that I’d like him to stop bullying my son. By the time I’d got home, the police were waiting for me at my front door and told me that if i spoke to the child again, I’d be done for harassment or some such rubbish.
When questioned as to what they thought appropriate action, they said I should speak to the school. I did and they did nothing and my son is still being bullied.
Schools are crap at sorting out bullies. Most pretty much endorse it by championing the sports teams, which are generally full of the sort of pricks that should be excluded for bullying.
As a nipper, i always taught not too lash out, but if you were pushed into a corner, to go for main protagonist and to hit once, hit as hard as possible and to cause as much damage as possible (e.g. make it look like you did something – smash a nose, bust an eye or even crush a testicle), and then to walk away.
Sadly, at middle school, being short and featherweight, i couldnt really back it up that easily!
