Bullying to me is one of those non-events. At school I was bullied for ages by one kid in particular, in the end I had enough...I unhooked a fire extinguisher off of the wall in a hallway and smashed his head in with it. It made a right mess on the floor, water & foam everywhere, the kid ? never bothered me again. Odd thing was the teachers congratulated me for it saying I had stood up for myself well !
Many years ago my daughter came home from school really upset, she'd done something to irritate her teacher so while she was standing against a wall he had thrown a ball hard at it to frighten her as if to say it will be you next time.
My partner & myself shot round to the school and waylaid the teacher in his classroom before he left. We tore him off a strip and told him he couldn't threaten our kid and get away with it.
He argued his case saying my kid had given him grief so he'd given her a shock to wake her up, in the end it was sorted to a fashion and we left.
I however was not finished with him and on the way out I made an excuse to my partner telling her I'd forgotten something. She carried on out and I dashed back to the classroom where the teacher was, I got hold of him grabbing him by the arm and said " if you go anywhere near my daughter again I'll come after you and beat the daylights out of you" then I smiled at him and said "you do understand don't you".
He look petrified you could see the fear on his face he was shaking as my dad used to say ' like a dog at **'
Her retired a few weeks later. Bullies ha...come on then I'm waiting
