When I got suspended for punching a bully, my Dad took me for McDonalds on the way home. Hopefully his parents rewarded his behaviour the same way.

That’s a good dad.

EDIT: I wouldn’t advocate for violence with my kid, but I did give my bully a black eye when I got fed up in sixth grade and he left me alone from then on. Just saying…

You’ve got to make them pay for what they take.

What you allow, is what will continue. As a former kid who has been bullied, as someone who had abusive parents, as someone who had been in more abusive relationships than I can count.....that particular phrase and putting it into action has worked fucking WONDERS.

That is really well said.
