Have you ever been in a fight at school? And how would you react if your child was involved in a fight in school?

[Lucy68]

Would you punish them? Why or why not?

I can confirm I have been on a few school fights as a child and as a teenager. I was raise to defend myself if someone harmed me, and I had male cousins that had defended me as well.

I was bigger than most kids my age and even some of the older kids, so they usually left me alone.

I was in a couple of fights in elementary/primary school. If I remember correctly it was the other guys that started them in all cases and I was defending myself. One in particular I recall was a grade 6 boy attacking me when I was in grade 5. I ended up getting in a few good punches that left him with a bloodied nose. He left me alone after that incident.

I would be upset that there was a fight involving my child in the first place. I would ask my child to explain what happened and try to get more information about it from the school. If he had been bullying other kids I would have a good talk with her/him and explain they can not longer behave that way. If it was a serious fight where someone was hurt I would punish my child however I normally do that.

If someone else was picking on my child I would tell him it's okay to defend yourself physically if there were no other options as the time. I would speak with the school to find out why kids are fighting and what they plan to do about the other kid who is picking on others.

The first thing I would do is ask if they were involved. Then what was her involvement? Then why did they choose to do what they did?
If I agree with her actions, then I tell him good job.
I was bullied for years and no one ever protected me, and when I finally learned to protect myself, the school came after me, but my mom shielded me from their stupid, petty arbitrary favoritism rules.
Plus, I’ve trained my kids so if they get into a fight, I’m pretty sure it will have been for the right reasons and the better have hurt the bully

[Rockstarrrrr]

Yeah I was the quiet kid and for some people that means you're arrogant and you feel superior or that you'd be an easy target... I've been in a lot of fights, sometimes it was 1 vs 3 or 4... good thing I was an athletic kid and I never lost one... I actually became friends with some of them afterwards lol... If my child was involved in a fight I'd tell them to not look for it but always be capable of defending yourself... Maybe I can teach them some moves lol

[NathanDavis]

one, in elementary... it was really funny

and a couple of scuffles at high-school, being much more mature then... I just put a stop to someone's nonsense, rather quick

[weysally]

there is a saying, if someone kicks you kick them back o they will kick you forever, I kick back immediately,

[laraWM]

I try not to fight and learn them but of course if someone else started the fight I'd expect them to defend themselves

[humanearth]

I never punished my kids for sticking up for themselves

I tell them they better beat their ass so they don't bother them again

[exitseven]

I got in a fight at school. It was more like a wrestling match. We were rolling on the ground and I rubbed his face in dog shit.

[roy_ricky09]

Yes multiple times till college... 🤣 🤣 🤣
I'd be proud of my kids if they didn't start it but finished it.

[Fuentes]

[LavLavLuv]
