BleedinSkull: "Better believe it, Bad Seed!"
Why wouldn't Apple Bloom just say that to Babs Seed in the begging of her bullying and not give a single fuck.
BigBoom: @Roflcakes: It's how the world wants people to think. "Oh, shelter your kids from bad adult themes so they don't know how to handle them when they grow up!" Psh. I was bullied growing up. Got in a fight and almost had my head smashed into a nail-riddled fence post. This generation is full of a bunch of helicopter parents always hovering around their kids 'protecting' them...
The_Elder_Troll: @BigBoom: You can say that again, I used to be that one shirt kid in the grade and got bullied for it all the time. Got in a fight myself and punched a piece of the kids tooth into the back of his throat. And now I AM TALL!
Roflcakes: @BigBoom: Yep, that's pretty much my view on it. Finding an adult to come swoop in and save the day was only a temporary solution at best, so after a while I just stopped bothering and took things into my own hands. It's funny how quickly it became a non issue after that...
The_Elder_Troll: @Roflcakes: If you think about it, it makes it worse. It gives the bully more ammunition and reason to beat you up, and for longer, or worse whatever...
Anonymous4(1): Depends on the situation. It would have worked in this episode only because AB and Babs are relatives. Otherwise it's a bad idea, especially since non-relative bullies are much crueler.
BigBoom: @The_Elder_Troll: Have you ever read Ender's Game? Good book. Also, it gives a valuable lesson right in the first chapter...
"I beat him up so bad that he wouldn't bully me again." Ender hospitalized a kid. Like, IV-drip hospitalized. If you do something like that, ain't nobody got time to bully you.
As a side note, my Firefox autocorrect says that 'ain't' is a word. Huh.
The_Elder_Troll: @BigBoom: Hah! Read? You ask gummy(Gomenasai), Rolf, Lapp, Faptacular, and bAv if I "read". Pfffffft! Readin is for people who can't handle the things that happen in front of thier eyes.
Lord_Adam_Trollingsworth: @Faptacular: I was bullied by a kid in shop class. Then I put on my best Patrick Bateman face and threatened to take a gun to school and murder the entire class. He didn't talk to me for like, a month, then we became good friends.
Anonymous6: @Roflcakes: How about "Violence isn't always the answer" or "Two wrongs don't make a right" or "Sometimes it doesn't hurt to talk to someone who can help" or "Pride isn't worth bad blood between family" or "Don't let bullies stop you from stopping them" or "A lot of bullies are just projecting issues from home onto the people they bully, so kill 'em with kindness but don't be surprised when that doesn't work right off the bat" or a million other options?
It's not about helicopter parents, it's about telling us that there are always better options than fighting. It's about promoting a way to make friends, not to stamp your feet like you're the biggest ape in the jungle.
Anonymous7(6): @Roflcakes: Which is why I'm glad to be a human being capable of sentient thought. But hey, you go enjoy your macho-man contest with the gorillas who can't seem to get out of the trees. I'm going to go enjoy civility with a glass of clean drinking water and food that doesn't involve parasites and/or my own feces.
Roflcakes: @Anonymous: It's fun to see how much you can get someone to assume about your character by feeding them little pieces of nonsense like that.
Anonymous8: ^^^^^^ Too much proof for why I just now have my phone for the Internet. And left it. Not ponies. This pointless little fights. Good to be in Real life. ;)
...I'm so sorry.

It's sad, because the two kids that bullied me were actually super cool when they weren't together and fuckin' with me.

Her solution: Write a story about it and share with the whole class. She made it mandatory.
That didn't end well for me.

What the hell is wrong with some people?

After that I developed a sense of humor and tried to become likeable and didn't have any further problems.
