I don't want to argue anymore but I did mention on page 2 that I don't think it's wrong for kids to throw a few fists in defense, but as adults we shouldn't encourage it. That however doesn't mean that we should tolerate it (kids being bullied) and I want to emphasize that if you think fighting back is your kid's only defense, then you should teach them how to do it safely so that they're NOT pile-driving a kid into the ground. A bloody lip or black eye is no big deal and gets the point across just as well.
