Topic | This is 2017: Should You Fight Back Bullies Physically? |
Zeus 08/24/17 4:07:30 AM #8: | streamofthesky posted... Zeus posted...No, the best method for minimizing damage is to call for help and to run. And in the case of consistent bullying, the best thing you can do is inform on them to a teacher. Trying to fight certainly isn't going to help. They can almost always give a lot harder than you can and, even if they can't, they'll get some of their boys to jump you as well. If they want to beat you up, they're going to do it and you're going to get hurt a LOT harder than them unless you take things too far and end up in serious trouble. As for bullies being cowards, that's a stupid cliche. If somebody is used to fighting, they're not going to magically back down the second you show a spine. If they're willing to break rules to use violence, they're willing to up the stakes. However, if they are cowardly, getting them in trouble clearly works. If they're not cowardly, getting them in trouble will generally work as well -- since they'll eventually wind up suspended or expelled. While everybody wants to fight because it's a more personally gratifying solution, it's the stupidest option. The potential for harm greatly outweighs any good. There's more than one way to stop being a victim of opportunity and you should opt for the ways which minimize harm to yourself. I don't know about you -- maybe you're fucking Bruce Lee or some shit -- but I've never walked completely unharmed out of a fight. And unless your solution is to sneak up on a guy and bash his skull in with a brick when he's not looking, odds are you're going to get hurt when attempting your self-help. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...
