There are some people posting in this thread with apparent mental health problems. It's a good reminder even on a seemingly harmless website like MFK not to let all your information out. People talking about the bad things they'd do how would you know someone wouldn't hunt you down off here. Some of you guys should at least look at yourself and learn how to be nice and care for other people.

Just wow...

No way man. I think everyone who feels bullying isn't really a problem and those kids should just "man up" are almost as bad as the bullies themselves. If you feel that way, you deserve to get punched in the face by a bully to see how it feels. If you're blaming the victim instead of the bully, you're part of the problem. You're going to end up raising punk kids who at worst are bullies themselves and at best see nothing wrong with other kids getting tormented at school.

It's easy to say that those kids should fight back and stand up for themselves. But not everyone is as tough as you'd like them to be or as tough as you think you are. For some 12 year old kid getting bullied, it's easy to tell him to fight back, but how are you gonna fight back against a kid bigger than you? Most adults would be afraid to be in a fight with someone bigger too. So it's not cowardice but a natural reaction.

I was the only Asian kid in my school for a few years. I went to school with mostly Hispanic kids who bullied me a lot. When it's 1 bully vs. 1 kid, yeah the kid has a chance to win. But when it's 7 bullies and the bully's friends who are picking on you and saying things about your race and hitting you, how do you fight back against that? Now that I'm older and put on some weight/muscle, I tell myself that I would've fought back. But back then I was just a skinny kid. In all those years since, I spent so much time being depressed and wishing I could react differently. And now people are saying it's the kid who's getting picked on that's to blame? No. I just get so angry when people try to lay blame on the bully victim instead of the bully.

I read an article saying that Asian kids (like me) are the most bullied group in American schools. Check this out: http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=8551103 So this topic really hits home for me because it wasn't just me but a bunch of kids like me (immigrants) who had to deal with this daily. Bullying is a serious problem. Just look at the data to see it instead of pretending it's no big deal and kids should get over it. It affects a lot of those kids for a lifetime.

I was bullied, ALOT, so dont talk to me like im ignorant on the subject. so yeah, man up. I didnt say it was the kids fault for beeing bullied, I said they need to man up. Step up to your bully. Our culture, because of people like you are raising pansies. Its rediculous what we expect nowadays. If people would step up, man up, and take responcibility for them selves we wouldnt have many of the problems we do today. No personal responcibility. Its all gimme gimme gimme and when they screw up, its all thier fault. I wasnt raised that way, and it pisses me off to no end when I see my generation like this. This society is full of wussies. People rely on others for everything, as I can attest with my job( firefighter). You wouldnt believe what people call 911 for instead of taking personall responcibility for.

"i cant pee" (u can still drive)
"im constipated" ( " )
"i have jock itch" ( " )
"my leg hurts" ( " )
"i have a nose bleed" ( " )
"my child fell and hurt thier arm, but there is no visible injury) ( " )
"i had a stroke 2 weeks ago" (congrats, you have 3 hours for meds, your screwed)

No personal responcibility what so ever. Raise your child right, and teach them personal responcibility and this crap wouldnt be in the news.
 
I have to agree with Johnnycoolxx, I was bullied a lot too. My mom worked with the coach of the middle school wrestling team and I was almost forced to join to toughen myself up. While I do admit that I did gain a lot of confidence and feel capable of standing up to my main bully, after I did it was no longer one on one. From that day until I graduated it was always a group that would surround me and start ****. There's not much you can do when it's a lopsided fight. In fact, knowing that you can fight back just makes them that much more aggressive towards you.

First of all, I really doubt you were bullied because you keep saying that the problem can be so easily fixed if the kid would just man up. That sounds like something a bully or a bully's dad would say. It's not that easy. I was picked on by bigger kids who ganged up to talk **** to me every day and threaten me. Yeah, I or any other kid in the same situation could've tried to fight one or all of them, but would've probably lost. My life was bad enough back then, but losing a fight to a bully would've made it living hell every day at school. When you're bullied like that, you just think about getting by and going home. You seem to think the bully problem is 1 kid vs. 1 bully but that's only in the movies. In real life, the bully has friends who are just as as he is and will gang up on one kid. If you were in the same situation facing 7 kids by yourself, I really doubt you would act so tough. Kids who are bullied often become very withdrawn and don't have many friends either. So those bully victims are facing bullies all by themselves. Like I said, it's easy to tell a 13 year old kid to man up, but if you or any other person were in that position facing a number of bigger kids every day, it would be much much harder.

Second of all, I don't take anything you say seriously because you misspell easy words like "responsibility" and "ridiculous." So don't tell me you know about responsibility when you can't even spell it right.

No personal responcibility.
Ha! Funny.

Our culture, because of people like you are raising pansies.
It's like you're giving bullies an excuse to be bullies. It's like you're telling the victims that since they aren't tough enough and can't stand up to bullies that it's natural for them to get treated like that. You keep trying to compare people who call 911 with simple problems to kids who are getting bullied. But that's apples and oranges man -- that's not even close to being the same thing. Many of those kids are taunted daily and face real physical threats. It's not as easy as putting a band aid on like you imagine it to be.

No personal responcibility what so ever. Raise your child right, and teach them personal responcibility and this crap wouldnt be in the news.

That just makes no sense and sounds dumb. You keep blaming the victim and his mom/dad for not raising him right when really the problem is that the bully's parents didn't raise him right.
 
Lets just end this by following the golden rule everybody, gnite......
