glad to see that some parents are not letting their kids be pussies. when I was younger, I moved schools in 5th grade and got picked on because I was "the new kid."
it was expected, but got pretty annoying quick, particularly with one kid who was the former new kid and had it out for me. it would take place on the playground, he would trip me, I would hit him in the face with the kickball... back and forth non stop
the last straw was we were in a friends backyard playing baseball and he decided to hit me with the bat (plastic) in the face intentionally. That HURT and pissed me off. I ran back to my house (about 4 houses away) almost in tears and grabbed my aluminum bat and ran back to the house.
I got one good swing to him before i was pulled off and got a kick to his face which busted his nose and lip. about 2 minutes later I saw my mom running up the back yard and she looked PISSED. his parents came and our parents were yelling.
It didnt end well when I said "your son is a pussy" and my dad grabbed me by the arm and drug me home. Later he said I went to far and should only use my fists to fight and not weapons
kinda funny how I didn't get in trouble, but my mom was pissed and said I should of walked away, but my dad said stand my ground
