Bullied Kid Got Suspended for Fighting Back
 

This kid (on the right) has said to have been bullied all his highschool life. And boy did he snapped, bigtime! Unexpectedly, the school suspended him for fighting back. Some schools are getting more hillarious these days.

This is nothing new.

I got suspended for defending myself in 6th or 7th grade (I was 12 or 13, and the kid that I fought back against was 16) and I got suspended for a week.

He hit me first because he said my leg brushed up against him, and I socked him in the mouth. And I got suspended.

i never experienced bullying. discrimination, yes. but to the point of physical assault like the one on the video, never.

I got bullied quite a bit. I got called whitebait, ugly, too pale, to skinny, slut, whatever else. I punched two guys in the face for abusing me they never saw it coming, one of which never bothered me again.

I got suspended a few times for fighting back. I didn't get suspended when I stepped in to stick up for a friend's cousin.

Here is an interview with Casey Heynes (the big kid who stuck up for himself and was suspended.)

oh my, can i get the link to this? i can't view it here in the office.

Yea here is the youtube link if that is what you were asking for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-5jktFu4iE

thank you Buzz...mwah!!!!

I fought a lot when I was his age. Schools are so paranoid about fallout from situations like this that they like to punish anyone and anyone involved to make an example. Fact is, if they looked at it on a case by case basis, they might actually be able to see that this kid had no other choice. But that would involve them actually doing their job and sticking up for one of their students, I don't see that happening, ever.

let's not lose hope.
