Kids aren’t taught to stand up to bullies anymore. They are told to run away and tell an adult. All good and fine until the bully has you cornered out of sight and hearing of adults.
Or until your child finally stands up and the bully and their hoodlum friends lie and say your kid started it and your kid gets kicked out of school and almost arrested.
Kids are taught not to fight for any reason zero tolerance is BS!
Small private school or home school. No kid under the age of 18 understands how to deal with bullies (shoot some big burly football players can’t) and understand they are worthless human beings and once out of the public school cesspool you can defend yourself.
