This sentence was said to my eldest son today.
My two eldest boys were walking home from school. When two boys came up to them and first of all asked "How old are you?"My sons replied "I am 17" and my other son said "I am 15".
"Well your old enough to have a fight with us" was the reply.
Neither of my sons knew these boys. This is when he said about the colour of my sons hair
The older boy slapped my eldest and the other boy tried to trip up my 15 year old. Then threaten to get his brother on him.
My boys just walked away and refused to get into a fight with them.
Then told me when they got home but i feel hopeless as there is nothing i can do.
My 17 year old summed it up so well tho he said "Well we all know who has a future and its not them".
I have had my 15 year old pacing round like a caged lion for the last hour or so because he is so angry at them and wants to get his revenge. But he knows that this will not do any good.
Luckily neither of them were hurt.
Has this ever happened to you? Have you been hit because someone didn't like something about you?.
What did you do about it?.

That sounds so immature, seriously. Your sons are right : they have a future and the other boys don't have one. I despise this kind of people. They only know how to waste people time just to get attention. Downright silly and crazy.

It is very immature but people like that don't seem to get far in life.

i was attacked in middle school because a girl was having a bad day. unfortunately there isn't really anything you can do about it. you have a lot of angry teens out there that the only way they know how to get frustration out is to fight. they have no good role models at home and they probably learned everything from a parent. i've found a lot of times the parents are worse than the kids. you can report the incident that way it's on record in case this happens again. that's what i had to do. it's sad. tell your son not to be upset. he just needs to be glad he has better coping skills.

I feel that he did prove to the bullies that he was alot better than them because he did not raise to the bait.

it has not happened to me, yet. if they know who the boys are i would file a complaint with the police dept and have it on record just in case there are any other incidents. also, i know you do not want you boys to fight or get hurt but they do need to defend themselves. good luck with this. this is they type of situation every parent dreads. when you have boys as i do, it is almost inevitable i think because there are so many messed up people in this world.

Unfortunately we don't now who they are. Yes there is a lot of messed up people in this world. My sons just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Boys will be boys. This sort of thing keep happening in schools. Thre is nothig you cn do individually andsince your boys are out numbered or theother boys aer strogner, teh ycan not fight them out. They must not do things in a fit of rage. They must not let thigs go out of hand. Either avoid these boys or take the matter to a higher authority in the school. They are bullies and they need to be taught a lesson.

Very true girls can be just as bad.
These boys did not go the same school as my boys so i am unable to go to the school as it has nothing to do with them.

if this would have happened to me i would have definitely taught them a lesson. If not myself then may be with the help of somebody. What kind of boys they are i am wondering and it is really important for their parents to know about their deeds. They should know that their kids are unhealthy socially and do something about it.
no i have never come across anything ever in life.

I just wish that i knew who they were maybe i could have done something about it. A lot of parents chose to believe their children over others.
Thank you for you response.

i am so sorry to hear about what is happening to your sons... unfortunately, there are bullies and bad people everywhere nowadays and your sons just have to be extra careful... but i'm glad that your sons are alright and nothing happen to them... and your eldest son had shown a great self-control and maturity for his age... i think you should praise him and reward him for that... you must have educate your children very well to make them grow up to become such good teenagers... take care and have a nice day...

Now these are tough times.
I am glad your 17 year old knows how to control.
As time passes by we find many people in our lives.
For which I use this phrase.
"Some thing that can not be cured should be endured". it might seem a little pessimistic, but then that is another way to look at it.
In these instances the noble ones find ways how to avoid trouble.
well I have never been hit as I always maintained a lot of distance between me and the seemingly bullies.
May be I was brought up like that.

I can understand where you are coming from. I am also glad that he had enough control to walk away as he knows fighting is not the answer.
Thank you for your response.

This is a terrible spot to be in!!! Doing nothing was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, by doing nothing, these bullies will be back to torture their easy prey. Back in the good old days, the parents would meet & come up with a solution. Now days that doesn't work either as this behavior was allowed by the other boys parents. Parents who will be offended that you would even think their precious babies would do such a thing. It HAS to be your boys imagination!!! You might check with the local police & see if you can register a complaint against the bullies. Maybe then you would have some kind of record as to what is happening. I just hope your boys can continue to ignore them. Maybe if they do, the bullies will lose interest from getting NO attention. I feel sorry for the bullies as they obviously have lousy parents who don't love them. Your son was right...the ONLY future those boys have is prison!!!

I am hoping that wouldn't happen. I have come across many parents like that. That is a good idea i think i will check with my local police. Only trouble is i am not sure if anything can be done as i don't have any names.
Thank you for the suggestion.
