****ing Florida Nebraska.

Not only did someone write it, but I figure someone else had to approve it. Meaning 2 people actually thought this junk was a good idea.

 

[Duran Man]

"Be grateful," "If we defend, we lose," "Would we keep our friends if we tattled?"

Jesus.

Spoiler

However, this one did make me laugh, "If you think I'm ugly, you should see my sister!"

 

[Immortalfire]

Treat The Person Being Mean As if They Are Trying To Help You.

But they aren't.



Do Not Verbally Defend Yourself...we defend ourselves from enemies, so we are treating the other person as the enemy, not a friend.

Well, YEAH. If he's a bully, he is a f***in enemy. This is the biggest heap of PC sewage I have ever seen

Rule 8 just pisses me the **** off. What kind of adult would tell a child that not enjoying being bullied makes you a poor sport?

 

[Immortalfire]

Don't be a sore loser, Sawyer!

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Who the heck thought this was even a good idea? Whoever wrote it should have stopped and questioned it. There's not a single good tip in there. Basically a kid should do the opposite of everything being said in that flier.

wat??

I can't even...

 

[Mike_D202]

They should re-title that flyer to "How to be a victim."

 

[DCW]

That is bull ****. If my daughter ever brought something like that home from school...

 

[Pink Ranger]

The teachers of that school will be protected by their evil union, but the principal is toast.

I remember similar "advice" when I was growing up. Of course it's all ******** meant to make the school's job easier by not acknowledging there is a problem with bullying. If no one tells, how can there be any reports?

 

[terry78]

Nobody wants to deal with two sets of parents who feel their kid is in the right regardless, that's the thing.

[Hush]

The *****fication of Americas youth continues!

 

[terry78]

Give them guns.

 

[Illuminata]

This reads like it was written by a Bully.

 

[KevanG]

Just remember, don't tell anyone and nothing happened and everything will always be fine.

That just sounds really creepy.

 

[Alpha and Omega]

Do not verbally defend yourself? Isn't communication one of the cornerstones of the Constitution...um...life in general? lol. #4. Well: it is elementary school but whatever. Just let them watch 'the Sandlot'.

 

[KevanG]

You know, he should have been disqualified since one of the rules was no face contact.

I think anyway, it's been awhile since I watched it.

 

[The Endless]

There is some truth to number 9. It's kinda like beating the bully to the punch. It's good to laugh at yourself sometimes.

But yea the rest of it is... oh my dayssss.

 

[terry78]

Self deprecation is the only that does work to an extent, unless they're just too stupid to understand sarcasm.

 

[Shikamaru]

This proves why schools' stances on bullying are useless as ****.

Well, there's always proof. This just proves it even more.

Rule #10 Try to have more money in your pockets. When a bully is done pummeling you reward him to show your appreciation for having the audacity to walk near him.
