Here is the thing, I should feel sad about this video but i feel outraged instead. Why? Because it is showing off the nanny state and instead of questioning the nanny state it is a woe is me scenario. (Granted it does have a slight sense of empowerment at the end) Why did the school have the power to take him away from his grandma without pause? Why did he not stand up to others who used a nickname he didn't like which was the start of this? This is all because of the nanny state. Kids can no longer defend themselves as defense is seen as aggression while initiating aggression is ignored. Bullies can bully all they want but if you stand up and put them in their place [b]you[/b] are in the wrong. And its not only that you are wrong, the school and the legal system will prosecute the kids and ruin their lives even if they needed to stand up for themselves. So parents teach their kids to never do anything even when its clear that you have to stand up for yourself. Get punched in the face, called names, get stalked, harassed? Don't do anything or your life will be ruined. Meanwhile little Johnny who beats on kids has no consequences because he is troubled. Its like good is evil and evil is good now. We should go back to a simpler environment where if you talk shit, bully, harass, or even physically hurt another be prepared for consequences either from your victim or from your parents. I mean they will arrest a child and ruin his families life for making a toy gun out of a poptart but will ignore the bully who hits other kids because he is "troubled". And if any kid he hits fights back it a "quick call 911 and swat we have vile murder defending himself!!!!!" Murder is what it is likened to nowadays. And if you think that is overly dramatic you are only fooling yourself with how bad this has become. Letting kids stand up for themselves teaches valuable lessons to both parties. To the victim it teaches them when and when not to put up with abuse, that they have the power to stop it, and not to act that way themselves. To the aggressor it teaches them that the behavior can have consequences, that maybe they shouldn't act that way, and that people shouldn't be pushed around. However under the current system the victim only learns that he has no power and cannot do anything about an abuser. The psychological effects on the victim are astounding when they believe they can do nothing. Meanwhile the bully learns that bad behavior can be protected and that there are no consequences to act the way they do. Those kids also turn out great when they grow up and real life won't let them always be dominate. If kids were able to stand up to bullies early and not be prosecuted maybe we wouldn't have such depression, suicidal tendencies, and extreme reactions like stabbings and shooting when they are pushed to the brink. I would rather have a kid get into a fist fight to stand up for themselves then let their mental state deteriorate for years and push them to the brink where suicide or killing their aggressors are their only two options. Rant over.
