In the opening post I asked people to stick to the subject which, until now, they have. I could just ignore it of course but when someone talks complete bollocks I just can't help myself.

If someone at school keeps bullying you, punch them on the nose....HARD ! They don't like that ! " And guess what ?? He was right !!

So, to stop bullying the best action is physical violence? Sends a wonderful message doesn't it. I wonder if I should have told my twin daughters to 'punch them on the nose....HARD' when they were 12 years old, 4' 9" tall and weighing all of 6 stone. When they were set upon by a group of other girls. Who knocked them to the ground and kicked one in the head so hard it perforated her eardrum. I wonder if I should have given them that advice when a groups of 10 and more of their 'classmates' were taunting them because they were 'evil twins' and asking them who they were going to kill next. Not once or twice, but constantly for over a year. I wonder if I should have told the teacher that is what they were going to do when he told us we should send them to different schools 'So they would not get picked on for being different'.
