The school my kids attends (pretty small town 4a school) from the 6th grade on up if you get in a legitimate fist to cuffs fight and deemed the aggressor your leaving the school in cuffs. It’s insane to me but fighting is not treated the same as it was even 10-15 years ago and 90% of the time it’s the “bully” that gets away free and clear. Standing up for yourself is beyond important and needs to happen. However being in the 6th-12th grade and getting charged with assault is not a good thing, crazy times.

Originally posted by UncleBubba View PostNo, but I did bully a kid in our 5th Grade year. His name was Derek and he was “special,” actually he was just very smart. He left our school the following year and I had a guilt I couldn’t get rid of. He came back our junior year and I was able to apologize and we actually wound up being friends. I can still picture the time I threw rocks at him as he went down a slide on the playground in 1997... time heals all things but I will never forget that.
Bullying can be in many different forms nowadays, especially in today’s social networking world. I don’t want my boys to be “soft” but they need to understand what’s right and wrong. Hard or soft!

A simple "please don't call me that" would have been fine.
Back then principals could actually wear your *** out with a paddle so we learned that there was a time and a place to actually fight.

Dude I am glad you posted this.
I was In 5th grade also and bullied a kid named Bryan (his twin brother scott as cool). Anyway I got caught and paddled by the coaches for picking on him. I have never said sorry but he turned out to be gay like we all suspected back then. He did not attend the reunions we have had but I will apologize to him one day I hope.

Glad you posted that. I got bullied some, but I did my fair share of it as well. I still feel ashamed about it. There’s been a couple I’ve been able to make amends to over the years, and a couple that I haven’t been able to track down. I’ve used it as a teaching moment with my oldest (8th grader) to tell him about what I did, and how I feel about it now, and how I want him to treat people.
