cricket, ack I dont think thats the best way to teach a kid. So, a kick for a kick. Then it escalates to...what? brass knuckles? knives? guns? In many schools, there is a "zero tolerance" policy for bullying and violence. The perpetrator is suspended and sent for counselling and let back in to school only once the kid is able to handle him/her self in an upstanding manner.
Yes your right but 90% of the time the bully gets away with it because the kid is too shy/scared to tell anyone. The kid becomes too scared and just keeps it inside him. What's better? Let the kid be bullied or let the kid learn how to fight back?
