[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One incident of getting punched is not bullying. Bullying is repeated and targeted harassment. This is your special snowflake shooting off his mouth at the bigger kids, who finally gave him what he was asking for. The fact that no one has spoken up in his defense is telling.

After years of raising kids, I can tell you that only the favorable side of the story gets told. [/quote]

Not sure who died and left you in charge of dictionary definitions, but in my book getting punched by two kids when the punchee asks the punchers to stop is most certainly bullying.  The fact that no one has spoken in the kid's defense may just be that everyone is too afraid to speak up.  Not sure where on earth you are getting your imagined story about the smaller kid shooting his mouth at the bigger kids, but it's a very creative little story.

It's kind of nutty, but you seem to be blaming the person who got beat up for getting beat up.  That's not the way most of us would spin things if our kid told us he'd been beaten up on the bus.  Despite your years of raising kids, your approach to this seems a bit unusual.  [/quote]
