Using a slur once against a bully is worse than being a bully in the first place

Well since the post was removed it looks like her kid was being bulled badly and lashed out verbally and she wants the son to apologise and her husband is rightly going "oh fucking hell no".

I have never understood why some cunt is allowed to push some poor bastard to the edge for a reaction and then gets to be offended when the reaction happens.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the bully was maybe even fishing for just such a reaction. Kids can be remarkably capable manipulators for all that they're, well, kids in terms of mental capacity. So while they may not know about the term "DARVO," they can absolutely apply what it stands for in their bullshit antics.

So now that the bully has been called a nigger by one of his targets, he can go crying to his parents and the school admins about how he's being bullied.

there's two classes of bully, one the "push your buttons," waits-for-you-after-class-on-the-school-property-line-with-four-other-kids-with-dented-heads type, the other triumphantly runs over saying "I told the proctor you were cussing and she says to come to her for your punishment"

And moreso, those two are one and the same now since bullies/kids are more than willing to use zero tolerance policies against their victims for "I'll punch him and get suspended for a day, four of my friends will do the same thing and get suspended for a day, but the victim gets suspended for a week for being in the fight."

Yeah, fuck that shit. Mum wants to virtue signal using her son’s dignity. Dad knows the score, showing that kind of weakness to the bully would mean it never ends and his sons life is miserable.

It just bugs me how some people will go out of their way to bully an innocent victim but will get all pissy when the victim fights back. Regardless if the victim flings a slur or not.

I mean what did the bully expect?
