The classic suggestion many parents have if their kid gets bullied is to tell a teacher or other authority figure. Way too often the bully just goes unpunished and feels free to continue harassing someone. So children might end up feeling like they have to take matters into their own hands, literally, and strike back.
A mother shared a story about her daughter standing up to a bully by punching her in the face, which got a divisive reaction on Twitter.. Some users agreed with her approach while others felt it was excessive and taught the wrong lesson.
Sadly, authority figures often overlook bullying for too long, leaving bullied kids feeling helpless
