Our son was getting bullied at high school. His mum kept telling him to just walk away. I said that doesn't work, they just keep following you because you're an easy target. I suggested my son put up with it for 3 weeks and record the conversation you had with whichever teacher you reported it to, time, date, name, whatever was said. If after that time nothing was done about it then go to the headmaster and report it to him and if still nothing was done report it again to the headmaster. If STILL nothing was done then beat the living snot out of the kid. Our son was extremely patient but no one could say he didnt report it. We got a phone call from the headmaster to come and see him. He told us he had to expel our son for violence against another student and damage to school property. When we asked why he hit the kid the clown said he didnt know so we took out the little book that our son recorded all the times and conversations he had with teachers and nothing was done about it. The jerk then claimed that he should have come to him to which we read out the times he did come see him and HE did nothing to stop it. We told him that since this was all written down it was a legal document and maybe we needed to go to court. He backed down and we said so our son doesnt get expelled and the other kid gets suspended right? As we walked down the hallway we asked our son what school property was damaged. He pointed to a line of school lockers and each had a large dent in the door where he rammed the bullies head. In short, unfortunately, yes you DO have to stand up to bullies.

The boy who did the hitting was the one that got in trouble.

He was on crutches for weeks and was known as "Speedbump" for the rest of his high school days.

Yup… some of my classmates were known as “Spaz” (he had epilepsy); “Jelly” (he was overweight but was a great athlete-when he ran everything on his body shook like Jello); and “Einstein” (always raised his hand first, never a correct answer given). The thing is, these kids were our friends. Their nicknames had nothing to do with bullying, they were terms of endearment. And yeah, as to bullying, if you didn’t take care of it yourself and instead told a teacher or a parent then you were marked for life. Even if you got beat up as a result of standing up for yourself the bully never bothered you again. Children today are learning the worst lesson possible: that there will always be someone there to save you. This is a monstrous lie that’s doing real damage to kids that lasts well into adulthood.

I ticked my bullies off so bad that they messed up and bullied me in front of teachers/busdrivers. I earned the nickname PSYCHO because my laughter was out of place. I was being brained with a two inch thick textbook. The girl got caught after she screamed in rage because I wouldn't stop laughing. She brought that book down on my head one last time as hard as she could. I lost some much needed brain cells that day, but she was suspended off the bus for two weeks after that. Tried to get out of it because MUMMY was on the school board, but... bus cameras...

I grew up in the 1950’s-60’s. Whenever I left home one of my parents would say, “don’t do anything stupid”. I don’t know what my parents were thinking because between me and my buddies that’s exactly what we had planned. Like the time a neighbor nearby was burning some garden clippings and small tree limbs in his garden. We saw a couple old car tires nearby and we rolled one onto the fire. It produced HUGE clouds of BLACK smoke so we rolled two more tires onto the fire. Like Wow suddenly we’ve got a spectacular fire. It wasn’t long and we heard sirens so we ran out to the street to see the fire trucks roll up. The neighbor who started the fire came running out of his house in a panic. We actually admitted to putting the tires on the fire and we got off with a mild scolding thankfully. When they asked us why we did it my friend Joe told the firemen we liked to see fire trucks.

There is something REALLY HEALTHY about this guy's mind. I'm from his generation or perhaps a little earlier. I agree with Adverb - these were / are terms of endearment to us.

One year, they called me "Marty McFly", the other "Racoon". I still don't know why. 😂

One of the coolest guys i ever met was called kickstand because he was left in a cast too long after a broken leg, it set to where he could no longer extend it fully. We all loved him and he loved the name.

Facts..I Raised Myself Since I Was 9 & Kids Said I Was Always Smiling,, Laughing & Making Others Do The Same,, When They Thought I Had Absolutely Nothing To Be Happy About,, So They Called Me "Happy" & I've Been Called That Ever Since. (52 Years Later)

Born in the late 60s, I DID have friends with one eye (garage door mishap), a few fingers missing (gunpowder), broken legs (moped race), brain damage (me, for reasons I'd rather not talk about... not linked to an accident when climbing in an old quarry) - and we were normal middle class and all went to university and got corporate jobs. Yes, quite a few of us didn't make it past their 20th birthday (cancer, drugs, AIDS, accidents, suicides) but all in all we had lots of fun and were involved in spectacular accidents - what else could you possibly want? At least, our adventures were REAL and not second-hand experiences in a synthetic universe created just for us by some AI.

And "Eight Ball" because he was black. All terms of endearment - if someone didn't have a nickname it was because no-one liked them.

I can't go along with the "things were better then" cliche. My siblings & I had pacifist parents. We weren't taught to stand up for ourselves nor allowed to fight. School was agony and torture. I can't even discuss what happened to some of us. My siblings are in therapy as adults.

So true. I got in a fight in middle school. A teacher stopped us in the middle of it and order us to go in opposite directions. Done. No parents called.

You could almost say: _The bully got clocked_ Nice material.

Coming from the most ENTITLED generation; his first house probably cost less than 50k and wages are still the same.

You're all millennials. How are you any different? What have you done to set yourselves apart? The world has slowed down and hasn't changed much in the last twenty years. Believe it or not, things seemed so different as time went by and people made a big deal about decades. Do you hear people taking about living in the 'twenties and comparing our lives to the 'teens? Maybe you don't get a generation. We're living in postmodern times and there are no new generations after millenial... I'm just kidding you, call yourselves whatever you want if you want to be classified and stereotyped, I don't care.

You know there is so more good "Clock" Stories to be told.

“Any 20 somethings?” Well, I’m 32 and am a millennial. And this was basically my childhood. One of my best friends was called fingers because he was born without thumbs. Some of us are coming up on middle aged.

The BEST part of this routine is when the PE teacher comes and says, "What's going on?" Then he sees the bully just got "Clocked" by you guess it "Clock". The Brad says, "In those days that was the end of it". The teacher told the bully, I hope you learned to keep you mouth shut". And THE END. No anger management etc. Ah the days of Common Sense.
