These strips are drawn weeks in advance. They have nothing to do with CT. I read GA to get some humor and to get away from the world for a short time. As t hey used to say on the radio, Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
Nothing funny about bullying. My son went through that in elementary school…teachers and the bully’s parents couldn’t monitor it 100%…so my son fought back and beat the little twerp who then wanted to be friends.
Mu older son was once suspended from school for fighting when he was attempting to defend himself against a bully three times his size. The schools reasoning was that “it takes two”. Apparently he was supposed to just sit there and allow the big kid to grind him into the flooring. In reality it was a cop out on the part of the principal.
When I was in high school, I was mouthing off to another student, and they hauled off and gave me a well deserved fat lip. A teacher saw it, and the other student was instantly in trouble. I tried to explain that I had provoked the punch, but no matter how hard I tried as the alleged victim to advocate for the accused – the faculty just spouted psycho-babble. I hope the other student understood.

I hate seeing bullies getting away with this; isn’t the scholl bus driver nearbye to stop them?

I was thinking the same thing. They aren’t supposed to leave the bus. If I was the driver, I would be saying something.

In my experience it would be Boog who got punished after the bully went crying to the teacher that he’d been poked in the eye!

For a slightly different perspective:
When I was in high school, I was mouthing off to another student, and they hauled off and gave me a well deserved fat lip. A teacher saw it, and the other student was instantly in trouble. I tried to explain that I had provoked the punch, but no matter how hard I tried as the alleged victim to advocate for the accused – the faculty just spouted psycho-babble.
