I do try to avoid confrontation now days when it comes to most things
But there are somethings you just don't have a choice such as when I know someone is just trying to hurt someone intentionally
Since I was forced by my Dad to endure bullies
and bullies don't care if you defend yourself or not
after Dad no longer had a say so in my actions
(I was to big for him to whip me just for defending myself )
I made it my mission to stick up for and defend anyone unable or unwilling to defend themselves even if it meant I was outnumbered and more then likely getting my butt handed to me
I just can stand by and watch someone be tormented and do nothing ,I can take a punch ,but I can dish them out too.
You may win ,but the next day I am hoping a few of them think about was it worth trying it again ,especially if there is a chance of me running into each one of them at some point alone where its just one on one ,not 4 on 1
Verbal confrontations as a rule are kind of childish ,and you can choose to stay out of them ,but
When someone is attacked over how they talk ,their beliefs .pride in their nation ,their race ,who they love
I am still bad to weigh in ,
if I am not afraid of a real punch ..I am certainly not afraid of words
I still hate bullies in any form

While it is often advised to always choose to be the bigger man, if being bullied as kids, the tendency is to keep it all inside and suffer or fight back rather than to take the higher road. This kind of experience could really affect us, our views and how we react to certain circumstances.. But I do hope all is well and wounds are healed now. Thank you for sharing @rckt148

@TessDun Yea .I taught all my kids self defense
they have 3 steps to take and then its let them have it ,
1)report it ,give the school a chance to deal with it
2) I contact the school and let them know to do their jobs or don't call me when my kid defends themselves
3)if possible and I can get the school to give me contact numbers I speak to the parent myself ,,
4) my kid only uses enough force to defend themselves
restrain is always the best option ,but if they have to do more ,they have my permission
After I let my girls defend themselves ,the school took me giving them a heads up more seriously
My son recently had to defend other kids on his bus
My son is called out of class by the principle
A sheriff is waiting to talk to him
He says I just wanted to shake the hand of the young man who stood up to bullies ,,one of the kids my son defended was his
He has been sticking up for others since he was in Pre K
When there is something like this ,,they know my son didn't start it ,,but he is known for stopping bullies
No one ever bullied my girls ever again either
Girls spit on them ,,and on my daughters suede jacket
The school paid for it to be dry cleaned
I didn't even have to ask ,,they offered
the other girls were suspended ,my girls were not
