Why I Told My Daughter to Stand Up and Fight Back Against Her Bully
I never imagined I’d be the parent who would tell my child to fight back, but here we are. After months of my daughter coming home in tears because of relentless bullying, and the school doing little more than calling to report yet another incident, I finally snapped. We tried every peaceful approach—ignoring, avoiding, even reporting to teachers—but nothing changed. My daughter is the kindest soul, always rooting for the underdog, but enough was enough. So, I told her if that kid lays a hand on her again, she has my blessing to defend herself. Just knowing she’s allowed to stand up for herself has given her a new sense of confidence. I wish things were different, but sometimes, you have to teach your kids to fight for their own peace. Have you ever faced a situation like this? Share your thoughts below!
