In the news

Violence as a last resort does work. I was bullied constantly at
school by one particular group of idiots because I was the lanky kid
who was tall and could run fast. The last time he did it, I flipped,
picked up a chair and put him in hospital with it. Yes it caused a
load of drama and upset but no one at that school ever touched me
again

So, based on one instance where you hospitalised someone, you think violence is a viable ongoing solution?

I'm sure you could make the deeply saddening argument was that my mistake was not putting anyone in hospital, but my experience was that it a) didn't end the bullying, and b) left me with anger issues that it took years for me to unlearn.

And all too often, parents with anger issues end up passing them on to their kids. I learnt it from my mum, who was a fiery character. I don't want to teach it to any kids I end up having.
