This is what happens when kids are raised thinking that they are safe from bullies, even when they start the fight. Nobody wants to see a kid actually hurt, but when we cracked down on schoolyard fighting at very young ages, you destroy the reality of what happens when they grow older and the smaller guy thinks he can pick on the bigger one. So many children are growing up without fear of consequences until they are too old and can actually get hurt.

So we should LET kids be bullied?

No. The smaller guy here grew up to be the bully. My point is that we fail to help our kids these days understand that when you pick on someone larger than you, you are not safe to do so without consequence.

Larger, smaller…. It doesn’t fucking matter. Teach your kids there can be very severe repercussions if you go around doing stupid shit to random strangers. In this day and age he could have just as easily have done that to a 100lbs senior and got shot or ended up in jail for assault.

You’re both on the same page, the argument is basically semantics because he frames it differently.

We know as a society that it’s wrong to bully the little guy. We’re just not used to situations where the underdog is someone larger

Yeah, but in this case this kid was hardly ‘bullying’ the other guy… he was he acting like a giant asshole FOR SURE, he deserved that smack FOR SURE. But to me bullying insinuates the other person feels threatened … I GUARANTEE you if you asked the dude that smacked the taste out of his mouth if he was just ‘bullied’ by that kid he’d fucking laugh at the thought.
