Is this good advice for a parent to tell their son/daughter?
My dad tells me if someone ever picks on me to punch them in the nose. I’m 13 now but I never punched anyone because know one ever bullied me. Do u think it’s good advice.

No, because it’s never good to escalate to physical violence or stoop to the level of the wrongdoer.
if you think you can take the other guy
I think that is crappy advice. A lot of schools have a zero tolerance policy. That zero tolerance policy usually covers fighting which would include you punching the kid which could most likely get you expelled.
Dumb advice.
It certainly wouldn’t be my first choice, I tell my son to first try to ignore it, then if it continues, talk to an adult about it for some help, if that doesn’t help, my last resort would be to use violence. It could end up getting you not just bullied but hurt. Use your judgement.
Stand tall and be brave. When you’re scared of another person, you’re probably not feeling your bravest. But sometimes just acting brave is enough to stop a bully. How does a brave person look and act? Stand tall and you’ll send the message: “Don’t mess with me.” It’s easier to feel brave when you feel good about yourself. See the next tip!
Umm… i think that its just an expression or something like that. Im sure that your dad really doesnt mean to punch someone in the nose and if you say he really does mean it then thats notreally go advice for a parent to give their kid. violence is not the answer so dont ever punch someone… k?
it depends. but dont ever throw the first punch or u will be the one in trouble. if someone is bothering u then ignore then, but if they hurt u in anyway u have every right to kill them(not literally.)
Well my Mom has always taught me that if someone makes fun of me fight back with my words but if someone puts thier hands on me to fight back with my fist…Ive never been the first one to throw a punch…I always thought that was better advice then the turn your cheek…if someone doesnt hit u, u shouldnt hit them
I think it’s too vague. Picking on you can mean anything from giving you a dirty look to shoving you or something. I think it’s ok to hit someone after they hit you first. It’s a matter of defending yourself. You just need to make sure it will be a fair fight and it’s nowhere near school.
I think what your dad is trying to say is stand up for your self and don’t back down. I wouldn’t just go punching people in the face. He might not have meant for it to come out the way it did, or he might have been playing around. Just remember stand up for yourself! You should talk to your dad about this. Good Luck
I don’t know if I would tell my 13 year old that. I think if someone took a swing at you, you should defend yourself but to be the first to punch, I’m not so sure about. If you are getting bullied, it’s best to out think the person who is doing the bullying. Make them look like a fool. But if the bully doesn’t back down or threatens you, then sometimes you need to kick a little ***.
No not good advice, you could be expelled, suspended, and even arrested. Go to a teacher or counselor, even the principal. Call the police if you think it’s threatening, young people are so afraid to call the cops…do it . That’s what they are they for, any threats .
Generally speaking hitting other kids, no matter what the reason, is good way to get into more trouble. Several things could occur: The kid who’s picking on you could hit you back. Also, YOU could get in trouble (expelled, arrested) for fighting…It will be your word against theirs that they “started it.”
The best thing to do in this situation is just to walk away. If the bullying persists, tell a grown-up (teacher, policeman). Punching someone is never the answer.
Have your dad enroll you in a Marshal Arts class which teaches how to protect/defend yourself. go on line and check it out to find more about it.
Hitting someone could trigger a killing anger in them as seen by school shootings of children who never so much as loked at them!
If a parent wants their child to get into trouble at school and face a lifetime of trouble within the schools then yes. Problem solving is a much better thing to teach kids. In todays world assult is assult no matter who started it. If a kid hits you and you hit back you will both be kicked out of school and have it on your school record and possibly face assult charges if the police are notified. It isn’t worth it.
no that is not a way to handle any situation unless its self-defense. if someone is picking on you, you need to tell an adult EVEN if it means to tattle-tell
When you’re scared of another person, you’re probably not feeling your bravest. But sometimes just acting brave is enough to stop a bully. How does a brave person look and act? Stand tall and you’ll send the message: “Don’t mess with me.” It’s easier to feel brave when you feel good about yourself. Only get physical to defend yourself when someone else is physically attacking you.
You should not start the argument or get involved in the stupid stuff………BUT….. if they hit, spit, slap, punch, kick, trip you or whatever you should pick up anything possible and BEAT their AZZ!!!!!!! Fist and all!!!!
No, it will get you kicked out of school. I would stick up for myself, but not fight. Thats kind of immature. & if the freshmen at my school try to fight a bully they usually get made fun of lol.
I can understand where your dad is coming from and I think I know what he’s trying to tell you but hasn’t done a good job in explaining himself.
There is never anything wrong with having to defend yourself and others with reasonable physical force even if the school rules say there is no fighting.
Like your dad, I tell my kids that if ANYONE so much as lays a hand on them or someone else weaker; then they have MY permission to fight back and I will deal with the school authorities. I always tell my kids to obey the school rules but in the case of physical bullying they should do what is RIGHT. Not only do I TELL my kids this, but I also TEACH them how to use self defence. It’s no good me saying for them to do it and then not showing them HOW!
I don’t think it’s wise to get into a fight for the sake of fighting, but for defending yourself or others physically (where necessary) then yes, I think a punch on the nose is in good order.
I think your dad probably wants you to know that its ok to defend yourself if you ever need to and I think in that regard, his advice is sound even if his explanation isn’t!
Terrible advice. Unless the other person is pummeling you and you need to defend yourself, then it is not okay. The only thing it will do is make the matter worse. If someone just calls you names, etc, walk away. Names are not going to hurt you if you don’t let them.
I don’t agree with violence but if someone hits you yes I would hit them back.you should be able to defend yourself.but if they are just using words then ignore it.
