Bullying...
27 Answers
Years ago my son was being bullied by a neighbours son. The kids father was an ex boxer, really quite big bloke. He was terrorizing my son so much that he would'nt go out to play. Everyone knew what this kids dad was like. Everyone was scared of him.
Then one day I'd had enough. I knocked on his door. 'What?' Is what he shouted as he opened the door. I told him if his son didn't leave my boy alone I'd give him (the kid) a hiding he wouldn't forget. (I was shaking inside...he was at least 3 stone heavier and 7" taller)
What happened next made me a bit of a local hero, because this is what happened.
He stepped out of his front door to 'give me a pasting.' I tried to hit him first BUT he slipped on the ice and knocked himself out! HOWEVER, what really happened and why there were so many witnesses to my knockout is this.
Here's the background) A bus was returning to the estate from town and was full of people. There was a high van parked outside the house 3 doors down. I went to hit him, which everyone saw, but the bus passengers view was obstructed by the van for 1/2 a second. So they didn't see him slip. I hit him once more in the face and... I was a hero. His kid never went near my boy again and Hooray, I was a hero. Even he thought I'd hit him and knocked him out!
Was I right to take the claim of 'winner'? What would you of done?

I admit that being a newbie does put me at the disadvantage. But what can I do to prevent that and why would I bother posting? I want to be on here a long long time so am not gonna ruin it by lying just to sound up myself. But of course, its up to you whether you believe me or not. But I repeat, it is a true story.
krapper1940: You are also a newbie so maybe you ought to at least give me a chance? I can't prove it happened now, but in reverse you can't prove it didn't. Perhaps I should stick to just answering questions until I've been on here for a couple of years?
(And no, I'm not at all ruffled - though I admit it sounds like it!! lol)
