One of my boys is a fighter

Sounds like your boy has had some good advice from his dad regarding defending himself 3Leg.
Now it's time to teach him about improvised weapons (everyday things) he can use to bash the bullies with and not worry about hurting his own hands.
I also like Assa's advice regarding you going on the offensive against the school and being proactive regarding his possible future encounters with older boys.

Slow down Rick, we'll save improvised weaponry for when he's a little older, maybe 6th grade. Lol. You can help with that class.

By the sixth grade he should be learning the neck break and larynx crush.

:lol::lol:
If you lived closer I imagine I'd be sitting in the principal's office with him more often.

Careful Rick, some of these guys don't even know it's quicker to crush a larynx than to cut their throat, and not nearly as messy.
After having broke my hand a few time from stupidity and learning slow, I find it more proficient to grab almost anything rigid and hit them in the face.

Doc's gonna **** when his kid sets his bowl of froot loops down without a coaster.

And an economy sized bottle of hand sanitizer to wiped down everything junior comes in contact with.

Don't fool yourself. He's quietly working up the courage to take on the old man again.

Two different boys, Rick. The scrapper is my 3rd grader, the lippy shit-talker is my 8th grader.

I can relate to your son's situation. When I was a third-grader I went to a private school here in Ky because the public schools are worse than terrible. Anyway, a kid named Jimmy Ferguson was a 7th or 8th grader at the time and thought he was tough shit because his mom worked for the school. One day he said something about my family being poor (my parents cleaned the school at night to pay for our tuition and his mom told him this even though none of the students were supposed to know), and told him to knock it off. He didn't. In fact, it got worse even after some other kids told our teacher what was going on. One day I had had enough and told him so. He swung. He missed. I didn't. I did just what my dad had taught me. Punched him in the gut as hard as I could since he was taller than me, then when he bent over came up right in his face. He started to cry, so I hit him again. It was a glancing blow, but I caught his nose and he started to bleed. Fight over. We both got swats but he didn't say shit to me after that. In fact, he didn't say shit to anyone. Getting your ass kicked by a third grader has a way of killing any sort of cred you might think you have. When I got home I had a note that my parents had to sign telling them that I got swats and what it was for. My dad asked me two questions: "Did you start it?" "No, sir." "Did you finish it?" "Yes, sir." "Okay then, I'm proud of you." (My mom was not exactly thrilled with his response, but he was old-school like that.) That is one of maybe three fights I have been in in my life, but I still get a little red thinking of the SOB.

Of course, things are different now, and who's to say the 7th grader wouldn't show up with a knife or gun the next day. He sounds like a punk, and you never know what a kid like that will do.

One question I do have though is this: if your other kids were there when this happened, how come only one your middle boy hit him?

Because Carter has a temper like few I've seen before. He didn't give his older brothers the chance to jump in. Had he been in trouble I'm positive they would've helped because you've got to back your brother's play.

I have little doubt that his temper will get him an ass whoopin' some day, sometimes kids just need to learn things on their own.

That's fair. Like I said, I have been in about three fights in my life, and I didn't win them all. To paraphrase St. Durdin, "How well can you really know yourself if you've never lost a fight?"

I had a mouth on me when I was a kid... to be honest, sometimes I still do. He'll grow out of it/get it under control, or like you said, and I experienced, someone will be more than willing to help him figure it out. I just hope for your and his sake that he is not like my cousin: big mouth, no brains, and has spent more of his adult life fighting in prison than out of it. Of course, his dad was not worth a damn in the parenting department, so no one ever taught him what it is to really be a man (four kids by four different women, and hasn't seen any of them since they were in diapers. though, in reality, that is probably best for the kids).

Looks like I get to go pick up Carter at school this morning. More details later

An early morning fight at that. He musta woke up mad.

[3legged_lab]

It happened yesterday after school. I guess he was standing in line to get on the bus and some kid came up and shoved him, he said don't push me, the kid pushed him again, so Carter hit him. The kid ran off crying and came back with his friend, he pushed Carter so he hit him too.

[The Duck Hammer]

So what was the problem?

[3legged_lab]

He got suspended for today.

I tried explaining to him that defending yourself is a good thing but sometimes he might want to chose a little restraint because at some point it may come back to bite him in the ass. Basically trying to get him to plan ahead but I doubt it is sinking in.

[The Duck Hammer]

That's bullshit. So defending bullies is what the school systems have come to. Fuck that.

[The Duck Hammer]

And I agree that restraint is necessary at times but getting walked on for the sake of compliance is asinine.

yep. my brother had an ongoing issue with some kid bullying him, one day the prick tears up bro's coat, the next day the kid came to school with an ice pick and charged at my brother. brother laid that fucker OUT, broke the fuckhead's nose and dislocated the shoulder...and then got suspended for violence. go figure.


that was in the late 80's.

That kid did your brother a favor.

He's doing absolutely fine. Just needs a few lessons in how to be a sneaky bushwhacker and take care of those fuckers when no one is watching.
