Eh. People stick too closely to the rules these days, and things just grow too mechanical and inhumane. It sucks, but if you seriously are willing to take the punishment to stand up for your friend, then I not only applaud that, but admire it

Haha nice!  Knock that fucker out good, fuck your schools rules.

as soon as i read your comment i burst out laughing confusing my mom who had walked in to my room to ask me a question

It's more for legal reasons than anything, they can't "promote" the physical violence between students. But, I do like your policy more than their's.

My school brutally punished people equally when it comes to fights, regardless of whether or not you been actually bullied. A former state representative and teacher was wounded and later died in efforts to break up a fight between two students where I went. Fighting was just fighting, no matter its reasons for starting... I'm surprised your school has a anti-bullying policy.

No. You beat him up and don't accept the punishment.

They don't realize that the bullying is happening RIGHT THEN. Walking away to get "help" would do absolutely nothing. By the time you actually find a someone who is free to help you the situation could either be over or much, much worse. I'm happy you stood up for your friend cause many times people don't and it's really saddening.

I think it's amazing that you took up for your friend. One rule I do follow though, which is my own, is that to not throw fists unless the first punch is thrown by the one who is picking on you. The one who throws the first punch get in trouble. I dislike the school's way of handling things...you were only defending yourself and your friend, but if he didn't throw the first punch I can see why you were in trouble. School counselors and stuff are too subtle to the ones doing the bullying, and don't take much action as they should. By the time help arrive, it's either over and done with or escalated into much worse scenarios.

i'm actually surprised that your school doesn't have one i guess it's just Australia or just my school area
