Bullying - Punish the victim

News.com.au - A SYDNEY schoolboy who allegedly brought a kitchen knife from home and threatened three fellow students was most likely being bullied, police say. But the 14-year-old's behaviour cannot be excused, Superintendent Peter Marcon warned, and the boy has been charged with criminal offences and barred from setting foot on school grounds. ...He understood that bullying may have been an element to the boy's actions but lamented that the boy should have informed his parents and the school instead of arming himself. "Because you're being bullied, because you're being teased - violence is not the answer, communication is,'' Supt Marcon said.
You go and ask any authority in the department of education at any level of government, from the lowest pustule to the big-cheese pustule and they'll tell you with a straight face and in grim tones that bullying is unacceptable, that there is zero tolerance of bullying, that schools have strict guidelines and rules coming out of their backside about dealing with bullying. Yet for some strange reason, we still have bullying.

Year after year, survey after survey tells us over and over and effing over that, bullying is rife, worse than ever you damn brain-dead morons! Faced with morons on one side steadfastly denying reality and the bullies kicking your ass every day, what else is the poor sod supposed to do other than arm himself with something, anything.

I feel sorry for the kid, now he's fallen victim to the dumb, moronic ideology that always punishes the victim and does nothing to the source of the problem. He won't be able to protect himself now and he'll just get his ass kicked from pillar to post. Here's to hoping his parents have the brains and the means to move him to another school, sadly once the 'violence is not the answer' and 'kumbaya' messages have died down, everything will go back to usual.

If it's any consolation kid, the rest of us can't protect ourselves either while criminals and thugs are running around with guns, knives and whatever else, it's apparently much safer that way.

  1. It's sad that the poor boy wasn't given the insight to handle bullying. Most likely because of the politically correct "just tell a teacher" or "you're a bigger man to walk away than to fight" crap. Even Supt Marcon said as much.

    He wouldn't have gotten to the stage where he was so desperate that he brought a kitchen knife to school if he'd known how to deal with bullies independently.

    Boys (and girls) need to know that if they don't stand up for themselves, they will continue to be picked on and bullied. It will not stop until they do. Best way is identify and deal with the ringleader, the rest usually will leave you alone. But fathers tend to let the mother deal with these things nowadays and unfortunately women want to protect their children wrapping them up in cotton wool.

    I see part of liberalisation of society as female centric values becoming the norm and such policies of avoidance of directly confronting bullies is a reflection of that.

    I could go as far as saying that since women got the vote, liberalism has become the dominant political wing in Western countries. Yes there is the Liberal Party in Australia, and they have liberal fiscal policy, but socially they are much the same as the Labor Party.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying revoking women's suffrage is the answer but this is part of the reason why the West is so liberal.

  2. Error, I meant the Liberal Party has conservative fiscal policy.

  3. Bullying is bad, m'kay, but at least it provides you with an early and valuable lesson - the world has a healthy population of arseholes.

    Damned lying "liberals." Thay *already* know about the bullying, and don't want to do anything about actual bullying. But they care very much about the "sexual harassment" of a five-year-old boy hugging or kissing a five-year-old girl.
