I used to run track in 9th grade, & there was this bully who used to pick on me CONSTANTLY & trip me in the hallways every single day, & no one did anything about it. So she tripped me on the bleachers & thought it was funny, trying to prove her friends a point, & I almost fell off & sprained my ankle. So I turned around & knocked her sunglasses off of her face. I almost went to jail but she didn't because she got her friends to lie for her as fake witnesses. As a result, the coach kicked me off the track team & not her, & my former foster mom punished me from playing sports until I turned 18. She wouldn't even let me play soccer in 10th grade. I dreamed becoming a track star, & now I'm all obese & out of shape. Would you have punished me permanently? If not, what would be the consequence you'd give me? I'm asking this in case if I have kids, I want to know the proper way a kid should be disciplined in this situation. I also have Tourette's Syndrome & couldn't resist retaliating.
