HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I'm going to send that to my daughter. That is funny as hell. Or, she may come over to your place and kick the *really and truly gagging gross expletive deleted* out of you.

wait..is she single??

better question came to mind after I realized this could sound really creepy. Please tell me she's over 18....otherwise my joke will REALLY look bad.
 
Thank god she's not like 15, that would've been REALLY creepy. And I mean HCP creepy.
 
Expletives are deleted, but dead bodies OK? Got it.

He got me.

I can't stand to watch real life violence or even bloopers shows where people fall down and get hurt or nailed in the groin, but watching bullies getting their asses handed to them on youtube is quite satisfying.

With the news of Whitney Kropp today, I thought I would ask people a question. If your son or daughter was being bullied, what would you do, and what would you tell your child to do? Also, she looks like a pretty normal teen, I wonder why she was being bullied?

I'm going to teach mine to do this:

ESPECIALLY if the kid is bigger than you.

"Now son, you don't go out starting fights. But if the fight comes to you, you FINISH IT. Finish it so that you can walk down the street the next day..."

I'll bet this little fucker won't mess with that kid again!

I think the anti-free speech sentiment from this movement is dangerous. Off the top of my head I recall Arizona and Virginia enacting BS legislation.

People are getting too sensitive, imo.

When I was a kid, my folks were dead set against using physical violence. The one exception: Any crack about being Jewish. For whatever reason, personal insults could not be met with fists but anti-Semitic ones could.

There was a girl named Karen who was in my class. We weren't friends as she was "in crowd" and I was definitely not. Our mothers, though, were friendly if not close; both were in PTA, League of Women Voters, Democratic Women's Club, and last but not least, Weight Watchers. Wherever Karen learned to be a bigot it was not from her mom. Anyway, one day I was walking home from school, this was 5th grade, and Karen came up behind me taunting "dirty Jew, ugly dirty Jew". So I turned around and slugged her. We both went home crying. I told my mom the whole store but Karen only told her mom I'd hit her, not the preamble. So her mother calls my mother all upset, "I can't understand why [crandc] hit Karen, [crandc] isn't the type of girl who goes around hitting", and so on. My mother waited until she was done, then said in her sweetest voice, the one that meant you were going to get your ass handed to you, "I'm very sorry [crandc] hit Karen, but you really should tell Karen it's not nice to call people ugly dirty Jews."

That lady was so embarrassed!

I don't know what she said or did. I do know Karen and I were in the same class all the way through high school. We never became friends.

But she never called me a dirty Jew again.
 
Both my sons are taking taekwondo. Ages 5 and 7. It's helping them with discipline, balance, coordination and all kinds of other great things that I'm sure will help them in life. But I insisted on it so they could kick any bully's ass. Because bullying is bullshit, and the only way to deal with it is to smash it in the face.

I caught my younger son bullying a little girl once at a Burger King play area. Made him apologize to the girl, to the girl's family, and I told him to throw his dinner in the trash because we were done and he could go home hungry. When they had some time to think about my reaction I talked to them at great length about how I felt about bullying.

I won't tell them they can't get physical if a bully pushes them around either mentally or physically. I want to try to raise them with the judgement to think for themselves. If they get over-zealous in fighting back, well, I'll cross that bridge.

I completely disagree with the idea that kids are a pain because of issues like this. Having kids forces you to confront your own issues you grew up with, and how you wish your own parents had dealt with them. That's a good thing. My sons have made me much more thoughtful about what it means to be a good person.

I always felt that growing up with an older brother really prepared me for any sort of fighting situations. My brother and I are best of friends, but two boys a year and half apart are always going to be at each other's throats growing up, and you better believe that there will usually be some knock down, drag out brawls. I can't tell you how many times my brother beat the hell out of me, and vice versa. It's inevitable. I had a roommate once that told me he'd never been in a fight, and my first thought was, "must not have had a brother."

There is a positive flip-side of that though. As many times as we fought, we always had each other's backs if someone else was trying to mess with us. If your 5 year old is ever being picked on by a kid at school, it's good to know that he's got his 7 year old brother to help defend himself.

Same situation with me. Me and my brothers used to go rounds and my dad encouraged it as long as my mom wasn't around. It gives you a little hair on your chest so to speak. I can handle someone disrespecting and starting shit with me, but if you do it to my family its a whole new ball game.

I also grew up in an area where you had to have thick skin and brass balls. I was prepared for it before I had to face it.
 
Good on you, mook.
When my sister was in 6th grade a boy who lived up the street pushed her off her bicycle. His father made him put on a suit and tie, walked him to our house, assembled the entire family in the living room so the boy could apologize.

A lot of bullies, reportedly, were themselves beat up on by fathers or others so they think that's what big strong people do. Showing them consequences, as you did, as this boy's father did, is far more effective. They don't feel so hot then.

I'm not sure this is always the cause. I think sometimes it's just kids that are lazy and realize they can exploit their advantage.

The fucking dad says "when I was watching that interview and he said he lost his 8 friends, i had a tear in my eye." WTF dad, shouldn't you know your son suddenly has no friends?
 
I saw that vid, Maris. What a jerk, he doesn't watch the show, knows nothing about her but thinks he has some god-given right to abuse her over her looks. Shout out to this newswoman.
 
I didn't really view the email as bullying, just very insensitive and mean. I don't think the intent of the email was mean, though. It sounds as though the author was concerned about obesity in general and the role model that the newscaster was setting. I don't agree with the email at all, I just don't think the intent was to bully the newscaster. I could see though how the newscaster took the email as bullying. It probably felt very familiar and triggering.
 
Don't forget about 15 year old Amanda Todd who killed herself earlier this month. A 7th grader flashing her breasts on the internet? Bad decision on her part. But then again her parents should have disconnected the video cameras or made sure if she went to friends houses those parents wouldn't let her use the web cam.

Amanda Todd, a Vancouver-area teenager who posted a story to YouTube last month about being cyber-bullied, was found dead Wednesday night in Coquitlam, Canada. Authorities believe she committed suicide.

Amanda's video tells a heart-wrenching story of the bullying she was subjected to -- both online and off. "In 7th grade," she begins, sharing her message on cue cards, "I would go with friends on webcam [to] meet and talk to new people." At one point, a stranger flattered her into flashing the camera.

One year later, a man contacted her on Facebook, threatening to send around the picture of her topless "if [she] don't put on a show." Terrifyingly, the stranger knew everything about her: her address, school, friends, relatives, and the names of her family members. Soon, her naked photo had been forwarded "to everyone."

Amanda developed anxiety, depression, and anxiety disorders, she says in the video, followed by a path into drugs and alcohol.

She changed schools and found a new group of friends in an effort to leave behind the bullies. Then the man created a Facebook profile, using her uncensored photo as his profile picture. "Cried every night, lost all my friends and respect people had for me... again... then nobody liked me," she wrote in the video.

It sounds like her parents will regret lacking better controls over the internet.
 
TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — The mother of a 9-year-old girl who says she was bullied has been arrested on charges she boarded a school bus and slapped and cursed at two fourth-grade boys, while the girl's grandmother is accused of screaming at them, authorities said.

Rebecca Sardoni, 28, of Toms River, and her mother, 51-year-old Stephanie Sardoni, of Beachwood, were arrested Friday and released on summonses.
Toms River Police Chief Michael G. Mastronardy told The Asbury Park Press that witnesses said the two women boarded a school bus Friday morning bound for East Dover Elementary School and asked for a boy they claimed had been harassing Rebecca Sardoni's daughter on the bus.

Several students on the bus said Rebecca Sardoni then cursed at the boy and slapped him and a boy seated next to him while Stephanie Sardoni yelled at the two boys, Mastronardy said.

Rebecca Sardoni is charged with simple assault, criminal trespass and making terroristic threats. Stephanie Sardoni is charged with criminal trespass.
A woman who identified herself as Rebecca Sardoni answered the phone Sunday at a listing for Stephanie Sardoni in Beachwood. She told The Associated Press that she regretted boarding the bus, but she denied touching or hitting anyone.

Some of this stuff is just bad parenting, or unlikely scenarios playing out.

Overall "Bullying" the way I understand it, refers to verbal/written criticism that is unsavory. In this typical case, I think people need to get over it. Not that big a deal.

Huevonkiller, my good man, is it not true that once a fortnight you partake in inhaling the pestiferous fumes emanating from the smallclothes of thine own materfamilias, and do so quite gleefully, you dog-faced rapscallion?


In these cases it seems that the physical abuse isn't always present, especially with girls, in lieu of persistent social harassment. Gay kids seem to get it the worst. Obviously when it ends in suicide it is a fucking big deal.
