Yes bullies have alway been ,sad alway will be , you are right on it the way thing have changed, they are now protected by the school policies.

Myself when i was in school, all it took in most case to stop a bully. Next time i see you picking on him ,I am going to kick your A**. Bully in most cases were afraid to fight.

One great thing my father taught me , don't start a fight , but don't back down. I did stand up for those that were being bulling.


Really thing that is surprising, wasn't that many fights with bully. Because most would back down. That was one thing most bulles had in common,

All my sons knew not to take anything from a bully. When we move here ,my late son was in jr high. 2nd day , bully try to run him out of his seat on the bus, son punch him. Yes I had to drive my son to school for a week, because he was kick off bus for fighting.

Was ok with me, didn't take long for the word to get around school that you don't pick on the Craft boys.


So yes sometime you need to defend yourself ,and others as well.

Fighting may not be right , but defending yourself or other will alway be right.

Take a swing at a policeman, see how fast he knocks you in the head.

I understood perfectly well to what I was replying. I don't care "where" you are, be it in real life or online, it is not right for a person not to be able to enjoy a site because they are being bullied. The bully is the one who needs to leave, not the person being bullied. Wrong is wrong and needs to be addressed, not avoided, thereby punishing the victim.

You didn't read the original comment on cyber bullying so NO you didn't understand. There are plenty of places online that don't protect the victim. It's not at all like going to school or work where you have to be. You don't have to be on a site that's a den of wolves. To go put a target on yourself is asinine.

You win.

I won't try to make you believe I can and do read.

I agree. They do the pledge, but the other Sunday at church (9/11) we sang America the Beautiful, and Star Spangled Banner and do you know I had to stop and think for a second on SSB because we simply do not hear this enough. Sport deals are NOT enough. I do not see where one minute of silence would hurt anyone for any reason. . .and if you don't WANT to pray, then don't.

Remember the old saying, "the family who eats together stays together?" Well, the country that prays together stays together.

There was also a saying. "The family that prays together, stays together." So true, same with our country, we need to pray together as a country!

Nor would I assume I am...? However, ignoring traits that are tied to certain syndromes or disorders will never do anyone any actual benefit in my opinion. Allowing people to go undiagnosed seems to have lead to the most discomfort in people's lives that I know. I asked PBJ because she will have more insight than a rather vague description, and it may open up some avenues for her to provide better assistance. Listing a grouping of behaviors and then ignoring stated possibilities (definitely was not meant as an end-all-be-all diagnosis) due to fear of people getting the wrong idea just increases fear and ingorance in my opinion.

And that is why my answer of no was correct. All we knew was the kid was a bully and his parent was a twit. There wasn't enough information to even suggest Asperger's.

Hey guys, again, 505 stepping in as a makeshift peacemaker

But, theres no need to get fired up at each other

Serously, you have to admit, our coversation will do little, to nothing to stop bullying; if indeed we are fighting amongst ourselves. So, keep open minds? Thanks guys

P.S, I think that the school system is pretty darn screwy.

My family does not pray and we are together,been with my husband for 18 years.That being said lets keep religion out of this since it just winds up with thread being closed.

This may be accurate if you do what has been done in our schools and broaden the definition of bullying. Bullying really begins when the "wimpy" kid mouths off to a bigger kid and the bigger kid has the physical advantage and the smaller kid uses his intellect to get the other in trouble. True bullying is not as common as we may think. I coached baseball for several years and trust me when I say this happens. Also if this were true there would be alot more suicides related to bullying per capita as almost all are bullied at some time in their life, the numbers just do not reflect this and how pray tell do the vast majority survive bullying? Not to say some are affected because they are but not at epidemic rates.
