Reply to comment by Clementea in TIFU by beating a bully by Hehe_boi420

I have spoken to my parents and they believe me and have been extremely supportive as they know me and know I don't have a history of violence.

My parents are appearing in the meeting today with me and I will keep the post updated.

Good to hear.

I got bullied a lot in high school, in the 80s. In those days, fighting wasn't as huge a deal, but, still, detention or suspension. And, our principal made the guy in the Breakfast Club seem tolerant and understanding.

Anyway - I always fought back, always got the blame, always got the detention/suspension.

And then, one day, I no longer got punished for fighting back. not even for teh ball peen hammer incident.

Nearly 40 years later, I found out why. Dad had paid a visit to the principal, and threatened him with a beating the next time he blamed me for starting fights.

Having your parents on your side is awesome, dude. Don't take shit from bullies.

Thanks such for the kind words and advice stranger 🥲 I always had a problem standing up for myself but am trying to improve now. You have one hell of a dad! I am happy that mine fought for me too today. He yelled at the principal for the first and only time and it was awesome.

He has also agreed to get me enrolled in MMA classes too so that's an upside.

Idk where you live as far as l know there is no law against self-defense so if you can prove it is self-defense, you should be alright.

Your parents can even potentially sue the other parents back.
