Okay so. need some advice here

[Mark Wilson]

So my brother and sister just entered high school. They're 14.

First day was today, and some grade 11 knocked my brother's books out of his hands. Just being a dumb*** older kid, picking on grade 9s.

Now. I am ready to get a bus down to my hometown and kick, and or scare, the crap out of this little snot.

Should I just let it cool off? I don't want ANYONE picking on my little brother.

Let him defend himself. Plus, that is what happens first day of high school, pick on the minor niners. He will do the same in a few years.

Yeah man, but then what happens when your little brother is known as the guy who had his big brother come down there and f*ck a kid up? Then he calls his brother, then someone calls his dad, and it keeps going like that, and old people fighting isn't very amusing, just really slow.

Nah, but really, this is something he's gonna have to get through on his own. You're not gonna be able to beat up everyone that makes him feel small the rest of his life, are you?

Yes.

[Mark Wilson]

On a more serious note. I think i do need to let it blow over.

Definitely thought I'd need more convincing than that.

Just remember: You're old enough to go to jail for assault...and they reeeeeally like guys that beat kids up there. (Even if he's basically an adult physically as an 11th grader).

[heroincredible]

Let your brother deal with it. If he doesn't, he'll end up posting in the emo thread about how he has no backbone and can't stick up for himself.

Two 12th graders ganged up on my son when he was in 9th grade. My son beat the crap out of both of them.

[Spector_Ray]

The only to deal with bullies is for your brother to stand up to them.

aww crap. That's right. Stupid being 21.

[McHaven]

You have to let your brother stand up for himself, you'd only cause him more trouble by getting involved.

[i_got_a_mohawk]

I'd just calm it and let your brother handle it himself.

A) It will probably make him a stronger person
B) They probably have big brothers too
C) You dont want to ruin your life over some A-hole

[RedCoatMonster]

As long as it doesn't get out of hand, let it go.

Did he get a hand shake when he got home?

The best thing you can do is give him a set of dumbbells.

I had to pick him up from school after the principal called me, so he got the handshake from me in the principal's office.

What really pissed me off was my son got suspended from school for a week...... for defending himself. My son didn't provoke them, they were both known troublemakers and for whatever reason my son must have looked like an easy mark to them.

You should have seen what those two looked like after they got their a$$e$ kicked.

It's good to buff up, but teach those kids how to properly execute fighting moves. Taking a Wushu class for several months has really helped. Consider sending your little brother to a martial arts class, or teach him how to box.

If all else fails, send him to a women's self-defense class. I know for sure that those classes work, but doesn't really make him look good.

i shouldn't be worried. He's one step away from a black belt in Tae Twon Do, and he's 14!

he stopped taking it because it was all just review (apparently) from that point.

That's it, arrange a fight club, I'm not to far, i'll drive down there (or get someone to?)

[Dr Stankface]

Let him fight his own battles but I'd still say encourage him to stand up for himself no matter how small he may be. Make sure he understands between knowing when to stand up and going and looking for a fight. Teach him to be the smart about his fights.
