myself i hate bullies, i used to get bullied all the time in school, from names calling and getting beat up for looking, talking different. then as i grew up i stood up to bullies,
but then i started to take up for other students who was bullie, but one good thing i got back at the guy who used to bullie which was funny.
now since i am older i can't stand a bullie, we had some around by us who used to bullie everyone, older ladies, and all.
i stood up to this bullie even after he threaten me, told him to bring it. now my brother is trying to bullie to take off the block i put on my dad's email i just laugh at him.
but i tought my kids to walk away from bullies, and ignore them. but tell me if they kept getting bullie in school and i even went as far going to school to deal with it. and i taught my kids not fight unless it's the last thing they need to do only, and do it fast and dirty.
how do you deal with bullies, and how did or do you teach your kids to deal with bullies ?

Well ignoring is one thing. You might not have been bullied too much growing up. And ignoring that nonsense is easier said then done. There are those that deal with it on a regular basis and don't deserve it. Bullying is something that can leave a long lasting effects on a person for years to come.

As shameful as it may be..I've taught my girls to fight like men. I also tried to instill compassion. I then taught them they are the same and have the right to be anywhere anyone else is if they want to be there. I've taught them that people are not always good and have not been taught in the same manner as they have. I taught them to avoid conflict if they can but if they can't avoid it,tear the place down.

when i was in grade school, i deal with bullies by giving them what they deserve. regardless of whether male or female, i fight back with all my strength and guts. so that makes me tomboyish as a child. when i had children, i instructed them to let me know if they are being bullied around. just like you, i do want to pick and fight their battles with bullies for them. yes, i am an overprotective and loving mom to my kids. i face those teachers who will threaten any of my children. that is, even if they only do so by using threatening language. those bullies, do not ever believe that they are only per count, the classmates and the schoolmates, for teachers are the worst bullies of them all.

yeah my daughter has a mild case of cp, she was walking home with a friend, these 5 boys was throwing rock and sticks at her, making fun of her. she told them to stop. the one boy told her to get in his face to tell him to stop
so she got in his face told him to stop or he will get his butt kick. well the boy made the mistake shoving her.
the friend she was with was a boy, he told me she came around with a right hook and he heard it connect to his jaw..
let say we thought she broke her hand, and the cops said if she didn't break the by jaw she came damn close to it.
well the boys were charge with assult and hate crime.
i tought my daughter to box and he her box with her brother and other guys. for 4'11 she got a mean punch

I cannot stand bullies either and I showed my kids how to ignore anyone who bullied them,I may have rung the school on a couple of occasions and the school dealt with it and no more trouble but they were cases where he could not deal with it.But on the whole walk away.It takes more of a man to walk away then to stand and fight.Like you don't swing the first punch if they hit you take them out,it sounds awful but it worked and when the school told me he had hit back and he was in the wrong ,I said what about the boy who hit my son,is my son supposed to be beaten up everyday are you sick? I asked them.He was not the school punch baga and I don't care what problems this other boy has ,get him to hit someone else,may be you could a lot a daily punch bag for this boy and give my boy a break.Well really they moved him to a special school,no problem before or since.
