Kids will be kids

Today, my 14 year-old got a 5-day suspension for fighting. He stood up for an 7th grader who was getting picked on. While the poor kid was eating lunch, they were messing with him when my son stepped in. There were some words said, then a fight. He feels terrible for fighting but I think he was in the right. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Be proud of your kid. I am even if I don't know him. Also, kudos to you for raising a child who stands for the weak.

A couple of my kids got suspended for fighting doing the same thing, I didn’t punish them and said right in front of the principal that I was proud of them.

I've never voted you deserved it with more pride for the op, or their kid. your kid did good

I would definitely be proud of my kid in that situation! "cmon honey we're grabbing your fav food to eat and do a little shopping for you"

Can your son appeal the suspension? He was defending another child against a bully. He should be commended, not punished. He should never feel terrible for fighting a bully. Make sure you let your kid know you're proud of him.
