We all learn early in life the fat kid got man strength and that gentle giant wakes up to it.
Saw this as a kid in the school yard.
That kids leg looked bad. Im thinking getting body slammed on cement like that gotta hurt.
yeah, saw it a lot too. Damned Napolean comlexes target the bigger kids they think are weaker.
I love that the tall girl stood up for the kid at the end, when the little shit's buddy tried to fight him next. hope the kid that was getting picked on gets his moment in the sun.
Thats brilliant. Proud of the big boy. Fucking bullys piss me off. My kids have had bully problems, and I know kids will be kids, but I tell you, if I found out one of my kids were bullying someone, I would put a stop to that ish asap.
At that age its down to parenting. Human decency.
that's fuggin' hilarious!
My oldest daughter was bullied in middle school. Stuff like this pisses me off. That bully got what he deserved. I told all my kids now that if someone bullies them to make sure they hit them back hard. They can get in trouble in school but I will no be mad at them.

I got targetted because of my height at the start of middle school. That didn't last long. My father's instructions were to never throw the first punch. That was it. I settled my business and had a great time after and especially in high school. So I love what the kid in the video did.
I feel terrible about when this happens to girls though. They have a much more difficult time because that intruction doens't work. And girls are just ruthless

and that's the way it should be. My parents raised me to be decent. Once the hottest girl in school asked why I was friends with my friend. She basically implied I'd be in this great world if I forsake him. My repsonse was "because he's my friend."
Well, today, she's fat as hell and an ex-addict, dates this cunt I used to play travelling basketball with (because his dad was the coach), and my good buddy is a doctor. And I've been able to count on him forever and a day. Karma's a bitch.
And in high school, I never sat at the "too cool for school" table. You know, the people that are so cool that they have no friends. Just a few confused people that are all consumed with their relative status. But me and my friends, we sat at literally every other table and were welcomed anywhere and everywhere. When we go home you'd think everyone wanted to sit at our table.
In large part because my parents raised me to have human decency.

So in a way your rebelling now. INstead of sticking with Danillo, Moz, Felton and Chandler you now leaving the table and going with the hot Crack head chick (melo) and the too cool for school followers (Jersey wearing Melo heads).
The hot chick could have rocked your world but instead you stuck with your buddy and had a life long friendship. Maybe Our young core of players could have also done the same?
Just kididng man, good story BTW!

The torment my daughter went through I would not wish on my enemies. This girl was so jealous of my daughter due to sports(my daughter is a big girl) that when she picked on her she just kept on going. I always taught my daughter not to hit anyone because I was afraid of what damage she can do. Big mistake on my part. My daughter got really depressed and the girl had other students (boys) picking on my kid. From hitting her in the hallway to taking her sneakers and throwing it to the bleachers. She never told me. I just thought she was having a hard time. Her grades went down and she just became very closed out. Finally, I hacked into her myspace account and found that she was receiving cyber bullying as well and in the last message was a death threat. I immediately called the school and went to the police. This stopped all harrasment. The girl bullying my kid moved away. Thank god.
My 2nd kid, oldest boy, I tell him to not take crap from anybody. If they pick on him to hit them hard. I also tell him to stand up for other kids being bullied.
God, I hate this crap.

that breaks my heart. It really does. I hope there's some silver lining here where this is the impetus to her achieving her potential. Hopefully it increases her resiliancy and her drive for self improvement. But that's not the way to cultivate those traits. I'm really sorry to hear it.
As for the standing up for others, not enough people do that. It's scary to take a stand. I remember playing teeball and the coach had me play with someone with a mentally challenged kid. He would only play if I was in right field next to him. This other kid would get the former to say stuff about himself to get laughs. I lost it. Nothing physical. Didn't really feel ike part of the team after though. And how old do you have to be to play teeball?
Not my point though. Someone that young I don't believe is born to be that way. He learned it. Like the Karate Kid quote "no bad students, only bad teacher." I really do believe school teachers, administration, and parents alike should be held accountable for this behavior.
My son has always been an alpha type and I got wind when he was 13 he was doing some bullying.
I called the school and arranged a meeting with the other studant and his parents. I was very upset over this and wanted my family to own up to it.
We decided they should each spend a day together on a saturday when they are busy with an activity they are really good at outside of school. This other boy flew (supervised) and aeroplane. Impressed the hell out of my son. My boy at the time was a nationally ranked ice hockey player.
They became really good friends after that.............It was a matter of mutual respect.
Not every kid has a special skill but they usually have some common ground somwhere. Maybe video games, tv show, like to read, sports team......something.
NYBocker, Glad your daughter is getting thru it. I don't understand when boys get involved in it but this "Cyberbulling" is a real mind phuch for sure. I hope it builds somthing special in her that helps her. I had something happen to me as a kid that really did help me and push my self esteem.
Thank you for the kind words. It was really tough time for my kid and my family. She was actually clinically diagnosed for depression and was hospitalized. With a lot of love and support from my wife and I and our family and friends, she has climbed out of this rut and even signed an almost full ride to a D2 college for softball. If it weren't for her grades failing during the bullying she would have signed D1. I am happy but I am still worried on what kind of damage that may linger. She is a great kid. God, I want to go home now and hug my kids.

People like that really piss me off. Thats all kinds of wrong right there.
What I will tell my kids if someone bully them is, take the biggest rock you can find around your area and smash it against his head.
This will end bullying.
Meds kicked back in! Welcome back!

If this is your attitude, please don't ever have kids.
