One school's solution to bullies.

[tomhenry]

It contains such pearls of wisdom as,

Rule #7: Do not tell on bullies. The number one reason bullies hate their victims, is because the victims tell on them. Telling makes the bully want to retaliate. Tell an adult only when a real injury or crime (theft of something valuable) has occurred. Would we keep our friends if we tattled on them?
Rule #8: Don't be a sore loser.
Rule #9: Learn to laugh at yourself and not get "hooked" by put-downs. Make a joke out of it or agree with the put-down. For example: "If you think I'm ugly, you should see my sister!"

This was a brochure sent home by a Nebraska school with its students.

I was periodically bullied, as are probably a lot of students. I don't think the above suggestions would have done much good.

There's only one sure-fire way of dealing with a bully that I ever learned.


It still works.

Rules one and three are ok (not the clap-trap reasoning behind them, just the rules), especially when breaking rule five... Also, rule four is appropriate; our ability to spew clever one-liners diminishes with a rise in anger, so just remain silent when breaking rule five.

 

[timn8er]

Yeah, that's the ticket...teach them early to knuckle under & be submissive;it'll help them later on in life!

Sounds strange. Apparently the school doesn't know the who's responsible for sending it out.

typical ... disavowing all knowledge of the responsible party.
Wouldn't you just like to circle around the moonbat, hand it, it's own flier and have us all some fun while we see how it works for em?

Betcha they'd find better advice to give, if even off record.

rule 1 is learn where they sleep
rule 2 is learn to rain hellfire

Their security detail would never let you get close enough.

I don't know if I would classify a bully as an "enemy" but he sure as heck ain't my "buddy" either.
If I had kids in school I would be pretty riled with what I see being taught to them these days.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

One time I got selected to go to State forestry Camp. A bus school ran down through the country side and picked me up.
There were already about 20 guys on the bus. Most of were them bigger than me, and I didn't know any of them. I took an empty seat, second one behind the driver.
The guy behind me started in on me before the bus got moving. I told him to stop, that only egged him on. In the seat in front of me was a duffel bag with sports gear. Several bats were sticking out the top.
I stood up, picked a bat and turned around. The bully yelled something like 'you ain't going to do anything'.
Then I hit him solidly right above the ear. When you get unto this type of situation, sincerity is paramount. Talking can always be judged to be meaningless. A good hit on the head is sincere.
The bus driver who had heard the whole thing laughed. The rest of the guys in the bus probably noted that this is not a guy to be messed with.
I had a great time at forestry camp! Observed my first sawmill bandsaw.

A big mistake

When I was younger I was a peacenik that hated confrontation. (enough of that at home) and I made it a point to ignore bullies. It didn't work. It would have been much better if I gave back what I got, as I know I could have creamed at least half of them and maybe got a little more respect from the ones that I couldn't.

I loved the video where the smart butt little kid was antagonizing the fat kid. The fat kid took it, and took it, then managed to get a hand on him, lifted him over his head and slammed him onto the concrete. The kid was lucky he only got a broken leg.

conduct the flogging WITH their security detail ... wheres the problem

 

[snubbyfan]

Oh for the good old days when one well placed fist in the mouth'd take care of the problem.

Only one four-word rule is required for dismantling bullies:

Peace
Through
Superior
Firepower

Curious to know if this handout is genuine, sounds like it was made up by someone with a good feel for how the PC Crowd expresses itself. Nothing like making your enemies look foolish.
I like the idea of making the bully duke it out with someone bigger and stronger-three rounds, Marquis of Queensberry Rules, in a public venue.
Judicious application of shoe leather to a particularly sensitive sector of the male anatomy is quite effective .

We had bullies at my high school, we also had boxing in gym class. For some reason I never bullies in the gym.

I was a skinny kid, and got bullied and did not like fighting. My Dad, a Normandy veteran, had an "Attack! Attack! Attack!" attitude and no sympathy for my wimpiness. So I fought a lot, and lost a lot of fights.

At the time, I never realized that I rarely ever fought the same person twice, whether I lost or not -- and I rarely won.

At a highschool reunion in 1999, 25th year reunion, I was surprised to overhear as I walked by a group someone pointing me out to someone else and saying: "Be careful with him...that guy will fight anybody."

My oldest son is mildly autistic, with severe Asperger's Syndrome. As such, he has difficulties maintaining peer-to-peer relationships. When he was in junior high school, a couple of kids really picked on him. We had always taught him not to start anything, but to take up for himself.

One day, this one kid started on our son after a class. He pushed our son several times going up the steps. Our son turned around, told the kid to stop; but the knucklehead kid couldn't. Our son punched this kid in the jaw, and the kid fell down about five steps. A teacher saw what happened, and immediately took our son and the knucklehead to the office.

We got a phone call from the assistant principal, and we went right to the office. The assistant principal told us he had to suspend our son - for the rest of the day (and no teacher marked him absent). The other kid got suspended for three days.

After that, he was never touched again.

I was skinny and very passive as a youngster.

Like a lot of kids mom sent me to summer camp. I was picked on constantly. It was h!@#.

Then one day one of the bullies said something bad about my grandmother. All went well, he got out of the infirmary about 4 hours later.

You DO NOT mess with my family.
