And message boards attract bullies

You do realize we all think of you as a bully so it might be that we are replying to you just like you talk to us. I don't claim to not throw insults but even I can't match you in number and intensity. I'm really not being snarky but that's your style when you don't agree.

ALL the posters here?

That’s not true

Yes. Everyone but im2 thinks you're a bully because you have tried to bully each and every one of them including fuzzems at one time or another. You really don't like the one's who fight back like JMA and I.

What do you disagree with. If someone feels you are bullying them with insults then you ARE bullying them.

JMA doesn’t FIGHT

He flirts

I’ve politely asked him to stop

JMA is happily married and does that because it makes you mad. You know how your insults are used to try to make him mad.

Yes. In the eye of the one being bullied. The bully never thinks they are doing anything wrong.

When Trump was elected

I didn’t agree with the safety pins and pussy hats

But I understand the reason behind the symbols

I didn't understand it any more than the everyone gets a trophy garbage. Children need to be taught to be strong not needy. There won't always be someone to protect or save them from bad things.

No

Bullying can be in the eye of the beholder

The liberal approach to bullying gives ALL the power to the bully. Basically you are telling the victim you are pathetic and powerless and can't stand up for yourself rather than teaching kids how to deal with it and become stronger.

Why would you want them to befriend the bully? The advice should be to ignore and stay away. Bullies aren't known for giving it up no matter what you do.

[Deleted]

Then adults should step in. The other child can't be expected to deal with that.

[Deleted]

Other adults not the abuser. Not the bullied child who shouldn't have to deal with that.

How many years have YOU been a teacher?

If I was a teacher I wouldn't expect a bullied child to "befriend" his tormentor and being a teacher doesn't make you an expert so I'm not sure why that was even brought up.

[Fuzzems]

Everything labeled as bullying is NOT bullying. They are too quick to label everything as bullying nowadays

[Deleted]

Then WHY are they expecting a bullied child to deal with it himself? That makes no sense at all.

I think kids need to learn to deal with some things themselves. Depends on the situation.

I agree but flan seems to think it's a kids job to handle a bullies abusive home life instead of the adults who see it.
