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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I finally stood up to the guy who's been bullying me for the last 2 years. Even though he's been caught in the act several times, he never gets punished, so I figured I'd get away with gut-punching him. Nope. An hour later, I was suspended from school. FML
Today, I got my ass beat by some kid in my grade. The reason I was targeted? The superintendent, aka my idiot father, suspended him for defending himself in another fight. The kid told me it's not personal, he needed to prove a point that our school doesn't do shit about bullying, As much as I agree with him… FML
Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. 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, after picking up my 6 year-old from school, he said, "Drew said his dad could beat you up." I told him that he needs to respect his own father more and stand up for me. We got home, I looked up his class roster and low and behold, Drew's dad beat me up in junior high. FML

Despite everything, your father's reaction can be understood, this may be awkward for him later. Doesn't mean he is not happy/proud that you beat the bully. Aside of that, as someone you was bullied at school, congrats for giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Does the kid not have the same last name as his mom? Wouldn't your dad have recognized it? But that doesn't matter, it is not okay to be a bully no matter what. Good for you for standing up for yourself! And if he gets fired because his boss's kid is a bully, get a lawyer.

It’s possible OP didn’t tell their dad the bully’s name, just that they were being bullied.

There's also the possibility of the surname being common. Like "Smith" or something.

Makes perfect sense. His mom is probably where he gets it from.
