Fighting only works if you are big enough to back it up. From your descriptions Swamp, I'm not sure your DS is.

Fighting only works if you are big enough to back it up. Or if you're willing to unleash your inner berserker. You can be the smallest one and still get respect if you're willing to endure some hits while you're going all batshit crazy on them. But you have to go all in and not quit or you're in a worse position than you would have been had you not engaged.

If you tell them to stop and they keep going ignore or put up with what you can. Cause once you are fighting you fight to win and there are no rules, no such thing as a fair fight. So make sure it's that important to you.

I'm not much in favor of it but sometimes you don't want your kid to be a punching bag. It's the real world out there and they need to make it in it. Unfortunately nowadays they catching the one who responded to hitting, so victim who kicked back will be held responsible for a fight. that was always seems so not fair to me.

They rid of them both. I told my kids they were NEVER to start something but they had my permission to finish it. I would and did back them all the way and they did not get suspended.

My dad is the most easy going man you could meet but he always told us, don't start shit, but you sure as hell better finish it. It only happened once when someone picked on my older sister, younger sister got involved and popped the offender in the nose. Thanks to my big sisters, I had no issues at school from elementary through HS.
Little brother got picked on riding the bus all the time by a kid in my grade...until I followed the kid home from the bus stop and kicked his ass. I got suspended, but my parents backed me up. I'll do the same for my kids.

I feel just a bit guilty... But I am cheering for all of your kids for standing up against these bad kids.

That was brilliant before they start carrying guns...so now the best advice would be 'it is better to be a coward for a few seconds than dead for the rest of the life'...
