Still sounds manlier than Justin Bieber, and they're just kids.
Pretty good.
Yup, pretty good. Not quite sure what your peripheral comments around the vid are about, but this was a nice thing. It's amazing how much bigger of an issue bullying has gotten in just the relatively short time since I graduated from secondary school... it's like bullies have gotten meaner or kids have gotten weaker or something else.
2201065 My comments were centered around these kids finding a way to cope with bullying and having an entire audience cheering them on, as opposed to the continuous stories about schools not taking a stand against bullies. Did you read about that story where a mentally challenged kid was being bullied, and he video tapped the bullies in action as proof, but then he got charges pressed against him for "breaching privacy"? That's what I was talking about. The bullies in that story got off almost scott free.
Bullied kids appear to be weaker than ever because they are afraid of school administrators. These days, a school's no bullying policy also apparently extends to the victims, and they all end up punished-- and sometimes the victim is punished far more harshly than the bullies themselves.
2201231 Interesting... the "something else" I postulated isn't the bullies getting meaner or the kids getting weaker or families being broken, but a general weakening of the society such that if someone knocks you down and starts beating on you, you can't knock out their front teeth in your own defense. It used to be, according to my father, that a father could advise his son that if the school bully pushed him around, give the kid a bloody nose and you'll never get bothered again. Nowadays, there's nothing kids have because you can't videotape the abuse, you can't defend yourself, the law requires you to be always within reach of your tormentors, the teachers and administrators who would do the right thing are menaced by the all powerful lawsuit, and the problem of bullying has morphed from something a kid fixed on his own and grows because of it, to a matter for national legislative bodies to pass laws about. The advice my father gave me, that secondary school is a mud puddle next to the ocean of life, that nothing bullies do to you can matter beyond senior year, no longer applies.
How very sad.
2202791 Not entirely. Its the school communities themselves that are hypocrites, if you could even call them that. The general public hates bullies and wants to see things done to make them stop. But, as mentioned before, with school administrators afraid of a lawsuit and other potentially nasty things, schools really aren't going to stop bullies. At all.
