Author SocialButterfly Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 No, but there nothing is ever fair. Most people will look for a quick suspension with no investigations and that's it. I don't condone it, but she's lucky she only got pushed down. Some people are far less tolerant of that and will do a heck of a lot worse.Yeah my cousin didn't want to do more and he felt some guilt. He still does but wishes she leaves him alone. He's not interested in her at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Author SocialButterfly Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 It's not right for a boy to treat a girl that way and it's not right for a girl to treat a boy that way either. But teachers generally don't want to intervene.This basically. No one likes being treated poorly nor receive abuse. My cousin doesn't like her at all. Link to post Share on other sites
crispytoast Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 It sounds like he acted in self defense. However, in this world of zero tolerance for school violence & bullying even the victim gets suspended. The schools are using a misguided approaching teaching children not to stick up for themselves or solve their own problems but instead come tattling to an adult. Since that is the policy, any child who doesn't behave in accordance with that policy gets suspended for being violent. Yep. When I was a freshman (14) I was a self-conscious socially awkward gamer nerd. There were three sophomore jocks who harassed me incessantly the entire school year. One day they surrounded me and started pushing me around so I threw them to the ground one by one in front of a group of onlookers. I defended myself against multiple people and all four of us got suspended. If I had done nothing they likely would have beat me up. School rules aren't always fair. It's reflective of life. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
