The old saying goes sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you. That's not always true when it comes to children. I tell my children that all the time. But also tell them if someone puts their hands on you, you have the right to defend yourself. Is that wrong? My 13 year old daughter got into a fight with a 13 year old boy and now she has to go to court for battery. The boy has been causing a problem since the first day of school and she finally got fed up with it, after 4 months.

I also talked to the school and bus driver. They changed his schedule around and hers so they are not in classes together anymore. The bus driver and her supervisor wont do anything to move this boy from her. They say he causes a problem no matter where he sits. As for at home she doesnt go anywhere. And if she does walk to her friends, she walks on the opposite side of the rode. To avoid a problem.

Your OPINIONS are never wrong.
Your opinions may not be popular, but they are never wrong.
Opinions are formed based on knowledge you have which was gained through training, education, and experience.
Regarding the situation with your daughter, it's sad that she's being prosecuted when she was the victim.
Sounds like she finally reached her boiling point and gave the boy exactly what he was trying to get. His behind kicked by a girl.
I'd be proud of her... and disgusted with the school employees, the boy, and the boy's parents.

Unfortunately,times have changed...when my kids were young my husband would tell them "Don't ever put your hands on someone first,wait until they throw the first punch the kick the s...out of them because if you come home crying,then you'llhave something to cry about"kids don't fight the way they did then.IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD EVERYBODY IS SUE HAPPY.You can't be with them 24hrs.a day unless their infants,an when a kid is getting bullied an does nothing,it will continue,an a lot of parents don"t even know what is really going on.So your responsible for your child,I personally think that both kids are gonna get a lecture when they go to court,an they might even suggest counceling.

If the boy put his hands on your daughter and did something inappropriate then she has the right to defend herself. The next time this boy causes a problem then your daughter should get some of her friends to confront this boy outside of school and when he tries to put his hands on your daughter then she can have some of her friends hold him back or your daughter and her friends should put their hands on the boy the next time and see how he likes it.

Well your daughter defended herself. but in reality you should have went to the school and let the principal know that that was happening then they could have taken care of it. It is harder these days to say beat them up, so be careful with what you say to your children, in the long run you will ruin their life.
