Bully at school

All the bullies I have ever known have been cowards.
That is why they try to get "hangers on" to do their dirty work.

Shouting is good
Running is good.

learn self defence
Learn to punch straight and hard. if you want to knock some one out, don't aim at the head aim six inches behind the head and punch through.
Learn some painful arm and wrist locks.( and what to do next)
a knee to the groin works fine,
A kick to the groin will probably find yourself flat on your back.
a hard jab with a pen or pencil to soft tissue will hurt like hell and draw blood.
A head butt to the nose always seems to close things quickly and is very messy.

The interesting thing is that if the bully even thinks you can do these things he will pick an easier target.
Letting him see you fighting a "put up job with a strong friend", especially if it seeems to end in blood pain and tears will mean he won't chance it..

as bullies are usually "thick" as well as cowardly. it does not take much to put them off.

I completely agree with everything you've stated here, Terry. Good advice! Frubals for you.

Even if the kid never needs to fight back, learning the skills will give him the confidence he needs to stand up to bullies. They're like dogs - they can smell fear.

This may be totally off the subject, but I need some input on this. My son yesterday was beat up on his way home from school, he is 12, by another kid in his grade over $2. This kid has been threatening my son for a few days now, leaving notes on his locker, "you better give me $2 or I will beat you up after school". Now I have already called the police and filed a report of assault against this kid. My husband is going to the school first thing this morning to talk with the principal and the school police force. I know it was the right thing to do to turn this kid in, but now I am afraid this kid will retaliate even worse than before on my son and my other children. Should we tell him to defend himself when the kid attacks him???

I say get the bullying on tape and sue the parents, its their responsibility. I saw on the local news that when you tape the incident there wil be more actions, but make sure that your son or other children do not provoke the bully. When there is money involved people suddenly wake up.

I truly appreciate everyone's response. We went to speak with the principal this morning, and the police dept after that to amend the report with the correct last names and such, and have already spoke with the juvenile detention center here in town and gave a written statement. So they are taking this pretty seriously. Apparently this kid and his "cousin" have already had rap sheets wi the police dept and the juvie center. As for defending himself, we have already told him, if he hits you again, you have every right to defend yourself. If you have to fight dirty to get away then do so, but yes we will most likely get him some professional training in karate or boxing...now the only thing is I need to find a way to come up with that kind of money. Having four kids, it gets kind of expensive, lol. Again thank all of you. This site and everyone here has just been so open and kind, it means alot to me, really, from the bottom of my heart, i thank each and everyone of you.

Reply to OP: Get him into self defence classes, and stop training him to be too much of a pacifist.

from experience, if you look scary, you probably won't need to defend yourself ;)

from experience, crazy beats big every time

from experience, when pushed to far, the skinny little boy that got pushed around for 5 years does not mind using a chair and a table to make someones face look like a wreck - don't let your kid do what i did :eek:
if i had stood up for myself early on, i would not have endured 5 years of it, and i would not have lashed out how i did

Pfff, suing. thats cowardly. The kid should just beat up the bully, show him who's boss.

I'm glad it seems to be working out. I taught karate for four years to plenty of kids just like this, and I don't think that any of my students got into a fist fight at school. In fact, I only recall one time that anyone from our school had to use self-defense in the "real world," and the guy was one of our experienced instructors, and he only threw one punch.

Self-confidence and a small bit of knowledge on how to avoid fights can go a very long way, and most karate schools will help with both.

Sounds to me like you need to avoid fighting. Due to the incredible number of times you get your *** kicked. I've been in plenty of fights and the worst injury I ever got was a slight concussion when a guy sucker punched me in the back of the head. Well, there was the one time I got a cut on my forehead, but that was the result of me head butting someone, so I don't think that it counts.
On the other hand, it might be a good idea not to **** off BANG BANG.

If you look hard enough, you might be able to find some free trail membership, half price, family package, or some discount.

i dont get bullied in school, i'm one of the taller, bigger people, but then again, there aren't many, if any, bullies at my school. If i were you, i'd get the kid a knife, some brass knuckles, or a martial arts class.
Better yet, a taser and some pepper spray.

Send your son to boxing or martial arts lessons. This knowledge can be very useful. I know from personal experience.
 
I am 13 yard old, and I know who gets bullied. I am really small and not particularly strong, but my lip scares away most people or the good dead arm deters them. Whenever people try anything my friends are always there to make sure they stand up for the little kid. I think defending yourself is important, but you should never start it. At my school (it is pretty rough) a fat kid will not get bulied unless he gives the lip. Then prepare to be annihlated... There are times were I have lashed out due t racism, but it's never a fist to the face. Dead legs and arms are quite effective.

But I'm just a kid. In the UK, you would NEVER get bullied for money. Bullies are looked down upon here. It is strange, but it is a great thing, one many fail to recognize.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned talking to the parents of the bully child. The only problem with self defence training is that it takes time. There's another tactical move; pay a bigger badder guy to put the bully in his place once and for all.

If you don't want him to get into fights, don't issue him with damned weapons or give him martial arts class. Make him too scary for bullies to target by feeding him loads of oats and eggs and taking him to the gym every day. If people still pick on him with his massive, shiny new upper body, well...
Also, your son will look better and get more sex.

On a more serious note than my last sentence (true as it may be), if you want martial arts I recommend MMA or Krav Maga - they focus more on self defence than fighting other practioners in competitions.
