    You sir are a bad parent. I don't care what you say or what you do other than the above, but you're not only making your kids want to bully others (yes you are, if I hit person Y we both get punished. Why not hit person Y when I WANT them punished?).

    My dad always used to say "stand up for yourself, kick the shit out of that bully" and I did. I leveled 7 guys in 1 fight and they never picked on me again. Didn't stop another person comming along and doing it though, only time it stopped is when my brother's friends (read : Rugby team 5 years older) found out and kicked the shit out of the new kids. And the reason I got bullied wasn't for my disability (I have shit legs) or my geeky nature, it was just because I was a person in the right place at the right time (read : Playground). But will that stop the next bully or should I always answer with my fists? Some times it's better to take a kick to the groin and learn from it than to "stick up for yourself". Something your kids are going to struggle to accept.

    Also may I ask you what you would tell your daughter if she got raped? Would you go "wow you have a vagina! So your fault!" or would you sit down, eat your humble pie and learn that SHIT HAPPENS PREPARED OR NOT?
