[QUOTE="JPKII, post: 16977511, member: 12867"] This hits close to home. My 14 year old daughter, who is also very kind hearted, was involved in two incidents in the last year. Both had police involvement. The most recent, her and her friend were attacked at a freshman football game. Of course it was recorded so we got to see it. What is ****ing wrong with these violent little asshats?? My daughter still has not shown any interest in taking a self defense course. After watching the video, with her, we tried to give some advice. Everyone seems to have this victim mindset. When her friend's head was getting stomped into the bleachers, the friend gave up. Everyone around viewing the fight simply recorded the incident. The friend was totally offensive. Just protecting herself. Never fighting back. We explained to our daughter the psychology of the attackers in this case. As soon as they saw weakness the intensity of the attack increased. Just like in the wild, the moment you run from a tiger, you're finished. We keep trying to talk with her about meeting violence with violence. If someone puts their hands on you, they just signed a contract. It's up to her to fulfill her end of the contract by whatever means are available. We will always stand behind her and support her actions (as long as she wasn't an aggressor or instigator). We can't keep teaching kids to be victims. Sorry if this is a tangent, but as I said, this hits close to home and still has a lot of anger and emotion tied to it. [/QUOTE]
