That is a good possibility. Here in the states, teachers are mostly liberal demonkrats. Thus we could both be right.

In the case of the kid in Australia (the one that was posted on YT) it was the smaller kid was who, ironically, was the bully (showing off in front of his friends no doubt)....but usually it is the bigger kid who has the size advantage who is the bully. And it would make for better video entertainment if the smaller kid took down the bigger guy.

Cornered? It's clear that this kid had ample opportunity to walk away from the situation; yet, he chose to remain engaged with the "bully". It looks like there was some trash talk going on from both individuals in the video. I wouldn't be surprised if it is later revealed that this entire confrontation was staged.

This also reminds me of a time when we were in 5th grade. Me and another friend kept getting bullied by a kid a grade older than us. Finally one day my friend had enough, & just threw one haymaker that connected with kids left eye. I know I took off running, falling down the ramp. But I think that was the last of that.
I was also bullied (mainly in football practice) until my sophmore year. It all stopped once I hit a growth spurt & the gym. I was 6'2" 200lbs so at that point they decided to stop picking on me since I was bigger than them, lol. The guy later on apologized for being a douche.edit on 30-3-2011 by pacofunk64 because: (no reason given)

If it is anything like it is here, the sad part is, the kid will also get punished for defending himself.
This zero-tolerance crap that the schools have is utter BS.

You shouldn't group all liberals together. It's not like we wear special helmets that tell us how to think or act. In fact I think you'd be surprised how many of us have served in the military, have big gun collections and teach our kids to stand up for themselves.

When zero tolerance takes precidence over common sense we are all in trouble, my friend.
Zero Tolerance has become quite disfunctional and like stupid laws on the books for society in general it begets disrespect for the law (the opposite of it's intent). There are countless examples: kids getting expelled for bringing a toy gun on school grounds over the weekend, a girl suspended for having Midol in her purse or the Eagle scout who was turned in and charged with a crime for having a boy scout pocket knife in the trunk of his car in the school parking lot (an exemplary boy scout not a gang banger). Disgusting.

Ya that is right....blame the liberals. Get a clue and wake up. You have to stick up for yourself and friends but sometimes you have to walk away. You have 2 minute clip here but what if yesterday the big kid was the one that bullied the little kid? Every situation is unique. Sometimes violence happens and I hope the kid that got laid out learned his lesson.

I'm glad some of these bullied kids are growing a set and fighting back, it's far better than the trend of them killing themselves, and this way it may even give them a little confidence.

You can thank liberals and demonkrats for that.
