School Bullying

Jump to new
would there be the same comments here if the big fella snapped the blokes neck instead of the ankle on the slam dunk?

i personally think the boy did the right thing in fighting back but am concerned on lack of control in that slam dunk situation......... could have been a lot more serious if the little fella landed in a different way.

the joys of fighting. things can go wrong when your seeing red and the adrenaline is pumping. The antaganisor should be prepared for this. If your going to bully someone, worst case scenario, be prepared to end up in a wheelchair :2twocents

LOL! I'm in stitches with that one! :D

But as Nun said above, if the "slam dunk" went pear shaped, little one might have ended up in a wheelchair. Having said that, if the older kid did nothing, he might have kept copping punches to the head, which could have also resulted in damage somewhere.

They are just kids, they will sort it out, Casey did the right thing under the circumstances.

needs to be a better resolve.. next step is that the fat kid pulls out a glock a puts a couple of shots in the kids head after playing modern warefare all night ..

for some reason there always seems to be little skinny runts who want to try and start big fat kids..

Some martial arts would be a better technique than WWF, whilst effective could be a bit unfortunate if someone has their next snapped..
 
I suppose things have changed a fair bit from the good ole days

what with gangs and ethnic conflict, and as Julia mentioned home problems and junior psychos are a problem that is difficult to manage, they caned the crap out of us if we acted up too much.

Nomore mentioned locks and holds, good stuff to learn, my sis is 4th dan Okinawan karate, and wrist locks are a specialty.

finger breaking is a sweet & easy technique ( used by the ancient greeks in Pankration)... who knows how the idiot got his finger broken?... he must of hit me in the head, sir. (girls can use too)

A fellow was demonstarting his high kicks to my sis, and she said " in Goju Ryo, we prefer to wait till they are on the ground till we kick them"

I say get the grandaughter watching UFC for sure...not being bullied is about spirit of refusing to be dominated, as much as anything else

I can't believe the big kid just stood there taking hits with his hands down. Was he so bullied (by a kid so much younger and smaller) that he couldn't even defend himself up front? I do wonder if he was asking to be hit, just letting the little tyke have a go so he could then try and kill him.

The initial punch to the big kid's head was successfully parried and didn't connect - nothing wrong with his defences! Subsequent jabs to his body probably weren't even felt. Maybe he just got annoyed by the little runt dancing around in front of him and showing off and decided enough was enough.

Yet another example of a little runt trying to prove himself by bullying what he thinks is a soft target. He got what he deserved and was damned lucky to suffer only a broken ankle.

I wonder what the outcome of the Feb-10 Brisbane Elliott Fletcher stabbing case was? The little bully really got his comeuppance that time but sadly the straight 'A' student's life (the victim of the bullying) was wrecked in the process.

Yeah thats true.

But come on, if we are honest, teachers are a breed of their own really. Everytime Im out somewhere or at a function and I get introduced to a teacher à automatically know what I'm dealing with. You know, lots of seriousness, nodding, handwringing but all with that over-riding sense that you must do as they tell you because they know best.

I didnt get bullied much at school but there was one brief stage.

I didnt like fighting but one day thought i'd give it a go with a bully who, similarly, was younger and smaller than myself - he crossed the street after that when he saw me coming. That was all it took. I was 15 at the time and got brought before the headmistress who was a lesbian as it happens (worst sort of headmistress you can have), I didnt give a flying **** what she thought about it and told her so. Told her i'd do it again if the same situation presented itself. You see, teachers cant handle that sort of open and disregarding disobedience, it goes against their whole thing about you being the kid and doing as you're told. She just about did a somersault out the window.

The whole thing of deciding to stand up for myself in a fight had an unintended consequence though......I really liked it.

I've got a young boy now and Im gonna teach him to let the first one go if he gets picked on, but after that beat the cr*p out of 'em

Correction: After viewing the full video here:
http://www.tmz.com/2011/03/15/australian-bully-video-school-suspension/
The first punch connected and it was the second punch that was parried.

TMZ spoke with a family member of one of the kids ... who told us the bully was suspended for twenty-one days following the incident and the kid being bullied was suspended for 4 -- since he was violent as well.

We're also told the kid on the receiving end of the vicious body slam did not suffer any serious injuries ... despite the fact he came off the ground with a severe limp.

Sources tell us the kid who was being bullied is handling the media attention surprisingly well -- and is "very happy" he's received so much support.

Did you see that smaller kids big mate come up to tackle him next. Thankfully a girl stood up to him and told him to leave the fat kid alone.

It was a gang against one. I hope the fat kid gets looked after by the school.

I was taught to fight back. Now we are supposed to run to teacher. Doesn't work.
 
The little runt should be expelled for bullying and starting the fight or, preferably, be given six-of-the-best with a stiff leather belt across the backside and be put in fear for his life if he does it again. What boys lack these days is fear of a higher authority.

The child psychologists have had corporal punishment banned and kids know that anyone who touches them can be charged with assault. Nowadays it's all 'let's sit down and discuss this'. It's a joke!

Carrot AND STICK (lots of sweet little carrots but a firm stick lurking in the shadows and produced occasionally) - it's not rocket science! :banghead:
 
I hope the little bully has learnt a big lesson. He was very lucky he did not get seriously hurt (thankfully). Hope that he never bullies again.

I doubt it. Next time he will probably try to outnumber the kid 10 to 1 rather than 3 to 1. That's how a lot of kids think these days. He will also probably pre-meditate the attack with 4 or 5 mobile phone video cameras on him this time, to retrieve some of that built up cowardly pride. That little troublemaker should be expelled and other schools in the district should be warned about his little twisted world of lights, camera, and cowardice. On the other hand the kid standing up for himself deserves a medal.

One of my cousins was in a similar situation at a small Catholic private school for years. He smashed one of his perpetual tormentors one day and was suspended for defending himself.

I have seen a lot worse at school in the past. All we need now are the PC guys to claim it was intolerable for that young fella to defend himself. And somehow equate his action with a systemic problem amongst today's youth.

There are a couple of Mark Twain quotes that are worthy of note in this situation

This one for the bully and his camera voyeur gang mates

1) A man who tries to carry a cat home by its tail will learn a lesson that can be learned in no other way.
Mark Twain

And this one for the Principal and the Teachers of the institution where it occurred.

2) In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.
Mark Twain

Law proposed against uploading violent images on the internet
March 16, 2011

The South Australian government wants to make it an offence to post violent or other degrading images on the internet.

Attorney-General John Rau said the state's proposed legislation, to be introduced this year, would be the first of its kind in Australia.

It will make it an offence to knowingly take or publish humiliating, demeaning or degrading images of another person without their consent.

Mr Rau said it was designed to tackle thugs who filmed assaults and then posted them on the internet.

The move follows the appearance of a viral video on YouTube showing a student in an Australian school playground tormenting another boy and then being picked up and violently thrown on the ground by the victim.

"The government wants to attack this disgusting fad of thugs engineering and filming violent and humiliating acts and posting the images to websites," Mr Rau said today.

"This behaviour is so disturbing and potentially damaging to the victims that I believe the creators of these images should be subject to severe penalties, including jail sentences.

"The government wants to make it very clear that if a person participates in any way in an act of this sort, then the consequences will be severe."

Mr Rau said the onus would be on the person charged to prove that they had a legitimate purpose for capturing the images, other than humiliating, degrading or demeaning the victim.

The proposed laws would cover anyone involved in the process of deliberately filming and publishing the images.

"For example, if you knowingly allow someone to use your computer or phone to upload the images, you could be covered by the laws," Mr Rau said.

"If you knowingly participate in someone's humiliation while someone else films it, you could also find yourself charged with a serious offence."

But opposition justice spokesman Stephen Wade said the government's proposals lacked detail.

"We have no indication of how this initiative will be policed or how we can avoid people being unfairly caught by the legislation," Mr Wade said.
****************************************************************
Whatever happened to prevention? Oh it goes on, but you can't watch it!
If it wasn't filmed it would never have made the headlines!!!!! And the attackers would probably be able to continue on at the beginning of every first semester in the same way!!!! WAJ!

Just my :2twocents
