Hey ladies.
It's been forever. Because I have taken in my 13 year old niece suddenly I have no time for anything else :( This two minute break is a rarity.
I'm coming to you for advice. Already there is a girl at school who wants to fight with her over a boy who looks like Moto-Moto. I just don't understand. I have told her to keep away from them both like the plague, and hold herself accountable for any part she plays in the situation, but things continue to escalate.
My question is this: If your child were bullied and it got physical, would you tell them to hit back or walk away? Does walking away ever work? In the eyes of most school officials, whether you were defending yourself or not, hitting is wrong. I do not condone violence, but I am so foggy on the idea of self-defense for teenagers.
I know a lot of you have kids, so what do you think? Let her handle it? Get the school involved? Get parents involved? My brain is spinning.
I need anything I can get.
ummm. somehow my vid has some kind of political msg dubbed onto it. Not from me. J/S.
