Today, I taught my daughter to tell a teacher if she was being bullied. My husband however taught her teachers are useless, and if you punch bullies in the balls really hard, they will bend forwards which puts them in a good position for an uppercut that will knock out teeth. The school is furious. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband and I have been teaching our son to deal with bullies using peaceful conflict resolution techniques. My younger sister however thought it’d be a good idea to teach him how to “roast” his bullies back. So far he’s made three kids cry and I have to see the principal. Thanks Sis. FML
Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML
Today, I finally stood up for myself and beat the crap out of a bully at school, as my father told me to do. The kid and I were called to the principal's office, along with our parents. Inside my father's smirk faded when he saw that the kid's mom was his boss. FML
Today, I watched as a bully told a kid, "I wish someone would staple your mouth shut so you would never talk again" right in front of the teacher. The teacher definitely heard it. She didn't get written up for it. Not even a verbal warning. I would pay to see a teacher actually punish someone in this school. FML
Today, I learned my son has been picking on a girl he has a crush on. He apparently went too far, because she finally snapped and beat him up at recess. The teacher, who knew about this from the beginning and actively did nothing, is trying to throw me under the bus for being oblivious to my son's behavior. FML
Today, my 4-year-old daughter stood up to a bully in the mall. I was the one who was getting bullied. FML
Today, I apparently didn’t teach my son the difference between defending himself from bullies and knocking out the bully's teeth, breaking his nose, cracking his ribs, and grinding his fingers under his boot until the bone splintered. Yes, the cops are involved and my ex-wife blames me, of course. FML
Today, my son finally stood up to his bully and gave him a smashing that he damn well deserved. I’m desperate to tell him how proud I am, but my wife won’t let me because “we’re not raising a thug” and after 17 years of marriage, I’ve learned arguing with her is pointless. FML
Today, I was teaching and a boy sitting in front kept laughing and smiling, even after I asked him to cut it out. I got so annoyed that I jokingly said I'd knock his teeth out, and asked him to leave the class. The kid went to the principal and told him I intended to hurt him. I'm a college professor. FML
Today, I got called to my son's school again because he punched a girl. Every time he gets in a fight, he justifies it by saying he only hits bullies he catches hurting other kids. His teachers even agree he only hits the bullies like that girl, but it’s becoming a huge problem. FML

My son's teachers and principals watched 5 feet away when a bully plied his trade and did nothing. As much as you don't like it, hubby's right. Plus, your daughter needs to be fully ba capable of defending herself as she grows. Good for him. The school will get over it.

Your husband is right. Teachers usually cover for bullies and punish when the victim stands up for themselves.

There is nothing like toxic masculinity

Defending yourself is not toxic masculinity but rather the right way to deal with one.

Your husband is 100% right, get yelled at once but finish the problem for a long time. Teachers are useless

My kids are not yet in school, but I will teach them the same as your husband did. The only way to put a bully in place is to beat him. You are delusional if you think teachers will solve anything for your kid

The school will get over it, but no one will mess with your kid again.

"You have enemies? Good. That means you stood up for something sometime in your life." Winston Churchill. The school is furious with her for standing up for herself, but they weren't furious with her bully for bullying her. They can go **** themselves.

"The school is furious with her for standing up for herself, but they weren't furious with her bully for bullying her." This is such a good point. Institutions aren't on the side of right, they're on the side of the status quo.

Send hubby to that parent-teacher meeting. You husband can explain to the school how their teachers are useless.

One of my son's bullies was a teacher.

Speaking from past experiences, your husband is absolutely correct. Those idiots will get over it at some point, while your daughter will keep her dignity and self respect, which is far more important than the opinions of idiots who are worried more about their agendas than the safety and wellbeing of their students.
