Yes, they should. We trained our children (in school) they they should tell the bully
1. STOP.
2. I don’t like that.
Then:
3. Tell the teacher
If after doing that twice, it happens again, respond with force (deck ‘em).
Both of my kids followed the protocol. When the bullying did not stop, they stopped it themselves.
@MbarkCherguia It is an interesting question, but misses the point, I think. When our culture and our institutions fail us, what shall we do? Shall we allow villains of all sorts to prey on us and our families or shall we protect and defend? For my part, I will protect and defend.
@RightScopee Not in the least. Neither you nor I have done what he has done, dreamed what he has dreamed, worked as hard as he has worked. He built what he has from scratch. He demonstrated that the American Dream is still real.
The truth is that the climate is always changing. The record - ice cores and crustal layers - shows that at times it has changed abruptly. Look at the area called Doggerland. Can we do better than we are? Yes. Is the world going to end tomorrow? No. The doomsday rhetoric only serves to turn rational people into skeptics and cynics.
