School Bullying

So you judge people solely on their occupation?
 
I'm with Who Dares Wins on this one about teachers. I should know. I married one

They have never left school. Primary, secondary, university then back to school. Ringing bells and DOT time and "professional development day" , pupil free days, school holidays and they just LOVE the unions. Never worked for a private enterprise, know NOTHING about business but can tell you how to run yours, lapping up Govt handouts and only working 8 months of the year with paid holidays. When they are wrong (which they never are) they blame the system and the lack of training. Then they whinge as to how hard they are worked and cry compo and stress leave at a drop of a hat.

Yep ....... a breed of their own alright.
 
If i was the father of that skinny twat i would have belted him again and said "perhaps now you have learnt your lesson", to say the bully went too far is ludicrous.... its like saying i shot an intruder but i should have tried and played tootsies with him instead.

This video should be shown to all kids in schools which teaches bullies the consequences.
 
+1, the fat kid should receive a reward. Fantastic slam, if I do say so myself.

I'm also with Who Dares Wins. Decent and upstanding people who are also school teachers DO exist, but in the same way that honest and sincere politicians exist .
 
There's nothing ok about what the big kid did. At this rate he will end up being a nightclub bouncer when he grows up.... if he grows up. Can't imagine what sort of parents he has. I can understand kids saying it's good that he did that, but not a full grown adult.

I saw the mother interviewed on TV. I doubt that the father is still around.
 
So far on this thread about bullying we've seen prejudice against teachers and recommendations of taking up martial arts... :shake:
 

And I'm about to marry one... Part of what you have mentioned has already come to fruition. Thanks for letting me know what else I'm in for!
 
Maybe schools need more bully-watchers like Captain Australia.

Inspired by the Cult movie classic Kick-Ass.

I wonder if he has some sidekicks like Big Daddy who dress like Batman and Hit Girl draped in purple?

I wonder if he gets up everyday to fight the bad guys with all that metal is his body and damaged nerve endings?

Maybe he has a love interest who works in the local methadone clinic?

Nah. Only in the movies. :

Captain Australia is Queensland's first superhero, and has vowed to clean up the streets of Brisbane
by Anthony Templeton

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/...eets-of-brisbane/story-e6freon6-1226015976662

HE spends his days changing nappies, but come nightfall the domesticated dad of two transforms into Brisbane's guardian.

mX reports that Captain Australia is Brisbane's dinky-di superhero, a real-life replica of the cult US film Kick-Ass.

Most weekends, the middle-aged father of two regularly patrols Fortitude Valley's seedier streets.

Dressed in green and gold, Captain Australia says ``being a hero isn't as glamorous as you might think''.

``There's no brooding on the edge of a skyscraper overlooking the city.''

His only defences against crime? A utility belt holding a torch, mobile phone and video camera.

 

As for Kick-Ass the movie

Yep i agree, he should have just stood their and keeping taking those punches, and who knows how far or long it was gonna go for, then after get some counseling because he has been deeply traumatized by the event which should be followed by more counseling and medication to help with his "condition"........



Bank thats like saying kids shouldnt be playing with toy guns because they might grow up and start killing everyone.....
 
Well these kids are certainly getting more than their fifteen minutes of fame, thanks to the ubiquitous camera phone and the Internet and current affairs programs.

I bet celebrity agent Max Markson is somewhere in the background, sniffing them out for an opportunity.

There are several facebook pages:

And even a dedicated website:

Several photos of the budding young gangster, Ritchard Gale, even one of him in his kitchen on a crutch, so obviously everyone’s in on it.

And tonight, Sunday 6:30 on Nine, Karl Stefanovic is doing an ACA Special just in case anyone's not up to speed on all this. ... How could we ever survive without TT and ACA???

I can’t help but wonder about the wisdom of all this and it makes me very happy not to be a Gen-Y or Gen-Z having to learn how to cope with it all!!!
 
This episode for me illustrates the wisdom of a cause close to my heart.

That all children in daycare, kindergarten, preschool, primary and high schools , should wear bicycle helmets.

There is an obvious risk, from bullying, of head injury, and as some posters here believe, many head injuries could be averted.

We could even extend it to the bullies on the trading floor.

More basket weaving needs to be enforced at schools. Also we all need to be more PC. And don't forget compensation and therapy for the bully to fast track his recovery to antagonize other kids.
 

No need to stand there and take anything. Certain situations might call for a show of force, it's just that he was quite violent and people are applauding that. Applauding violence is insanity.

The big boy's father has about 4 teeth missing - I wonder how that happened? He had no idea that his own son had been bullied his entire school life, and that indicates he has no interest in the welfare of his own son. And then there's the question of why the boy is over-eating - hello Dad???? Does the boy have self esteem problems??? He's not really a bloke who should have had kids.

For channel 9 to sensationalize it and call him a hero is just beyond pathetic. In their world, tit for tat is "GOOD STUFF!!"

Tit for tat, eye for an eye....... oh boy. Caveman stuff. Seriously. Have a look back through history and see how well eye for an eye mentality has worked.
 

Huge assumptions GB. Huge. I never watch Ch9 but was drawn to the kid's story. I think he was articulate and gave a truthful account of his life.

. Applauding violence is insanity.

Really? do you have kids? if 1 of your daughters were raped and beaten to death and someone found em and tortured the pricks would you condemn their actions?

The problem i find (especially in this country) is that we feel bad for the person doing the crime and that they should get 2nd chances etc..... but the victim should know better.

The quicker kids and adults realize that crime will not be tolerated the better.
 
Watched the Ch9 special last night.

The kid needs a change of scene, and good people around him. A governt grant or public donations to get him into a good school, with good values and a good administration that protects and fosters kids.

The longer the program went, the angrier I felt towards the people around him (with the exception of his sister) who have let him down, serially.

And not least the school and teachers. No wonder they wouldn't show their faces on the program.
