Bully gets Blu TACKED!
I read Mamacita's post about her baby girl and it got me thinking back when Miss 8 was younger at school, and how she got taken advantage of by her friends at times because she also has a heart of gold.

Then I smiled to myself when I remembered how she dealt with one particular bully boy in her grade last year.

His name is Baylie, and at the start of the year he was Miss 8's best friend's (let's call her GZ's)  boyfriend. 
They didn't hold hands, or go anywhere, infact I actually thought it may have been in GZ's head!
So anyway after first term GZ & Baylie break up ... well GZ apparently DROPPED HIM!!!
All sounded so cute.  But that is when the war started.

GZ started pulling faces at him, and teasing him, so Miss 8 started chiming in ... so to speak.  They'd glare at him across the school yard when I'd come to pick her up, and she'd say look Mum there's Baylie.

That was all good, but then Baylie started to get a bit physical, he'd push the girls, and stand in their way, blocking whatever path they tried to go.  He even knocked Miss 8's pencils off the table one day.  Another day he pulled out her tote (the plastic container that held her books).  She started to get a bit annoyed about this.
A few verbal words started to be exchanged until one day Miss 8 had had enough.

He threatened to get his Family up to "get" her and her family.  Now Miss 8 was still reeling a bit from her Dad leaving, and at first she saw this as a reason to be teased, so she took it to heart when he threatened that his Dad would take care of her family.

So she turned around and pushed
BLU TACK into his hair, nice and firm.
Now of course blu tack is a little like GUM, and when this boy tried to pull it out - it of course was stuck good.
He actually started to cry!!!
Miss 8 got very scared at this - she thought she was going to get in HUGE trouble.

Fortunately the teacher thought it was coming to this boy, but could not laugh of course.
And Miss 8 was not usually a person who fought back, she was more likely to retreat and seek re-inforcement from me.  I was so proud of the way she handled it.

Bailey has not bothered Miss 8 ever since.
I was so proud of her, and when she told me, I laughed my head off ... I suggested she not do it again, but thought it was a great way to teach a bully a thing or two.

I've had more people tell me to put Kaylie in karate just so she can have more confidence. I dunno what blu tack is but it sounds funny as hell!!

Mamacita - Karate is good - it teaches discipline & self defence, it also teaches diversion tactics before engaging in "combat" so to speak. Gives the kids a bit of confidence too :) Let me know if you do.

Hollis - you have a 7 year old boy ... wow - I may need to speak to you to get some tips on Master 5 !! Yes they are all a bit rough, better than being too timid :)
