Your opinion: boy punching a girl, ok or nay

Most people didn't answer the question .

No, a boy should never hit a girl.

They were both wrong, but the thing is that what will stick with people is that your son hit a girl. It won't be long before he is bigger and stronger then girls, you really need to teach him not to hit them and for him to walk away.

Princess is a little domestic abuser in the making. So sick of females making excuses for and getting away with this sh!t. Princess got what she deserved and hopefully ended up bleeding out of both nostrils.

They are both in the wrong. She started it but the boy needed to walk away the first time she scratched him. If he were my son that is what I would have told him. If she were my daughter she would have been in big trouble for scratching.

She hit him in his privates? He should broken that bitches nose.

If I had ever hit a girl in this sort of situation, no matter who instigated it, my dad would have kicked my ass something awful. And the worst part would have been the unrelenting grief I would have gotten from my peers! A boy hitting a girl was something that just doesn't happen. You walk away, control the situation, move and avoid getting hit, laugh, whatever. But hit a girl? No chance.

Times do change. I was taught boys shouldn't hit girls, but I was also taught (as a girl) that I shouldn't act like an asshole and take advantage of that. What has changed is the whole "Girl Power" push that allows girls to feel empowered to act like assholes and prove that they are tough with no consequences.

I have seen this with my sons. They've each come home from school with bruises on their shins and scratch marks all over their arms. Girls (4th - 6th grade) mess with them to get their attention and think it's funny that the boys can't do anything about it. The teacher has told me it's how some girls flirt with boys they like. Of course my boys know better than to retaliate. The most they can do is tell them to stop it or to ignore them, which causes the girls to do it even more.

Blaargh. Both at fault. As the parent of either, I would have been very angry at them.

I was taught that people shouldn't hit people. And I'm 50 years old, so this isn't exactly a new idea.

She really needs to teach him when a girl says stop to listen the first time.

Of course it's not a new idea. I was taught the same, but that even if a girl did hit a boy, a boy was not to hit back. Same?

I would not allow my son to be friends with your son. He's bad news.

He's a punk.

Nobody is right in this situation, boy is a bully. She was wrong to scratch, he was wrong to tease and hit. These kids are in 6th grade? Quite frankly, these are some utterly wild kids.

"People shouldn't hit people" includes "if Person A hits Person B, Person B shouldn't hit back".

Kids tease all the time, no need to scratch, much less punch someone because of that. Now punching someone because the other person is scratching and punches you is different.

Girl over reacted and has anger issues. (I opened this thread to defend the girl, BTW).

You run your mouth you might get hit.

If anyone punches first, all bets are off. Teach your kids that it is not okay to hit. Period. Who ARE these awful parents??
