The publicity this is getting is shocking! Both kids have been interviewed on current affair programs. The media are hyping it up out of proportion. Either one of those kids could've seriously hurt the other.  |

I agree with you. I don't really know the severity of the injury if there was any but by the way he limped after wards, you would think he suffered an injury of some sort.  |

I guess the theory that two wrongs don't make a right but having a grandchild who was bullied right through school from kindy to grade 4 it was terrible...she wore glasses and was the butt of all jokes, had drinks poured over her head, glasses dragged off her face, and we got sick and tired of going to the school principal whose attitude was she can learn to stick up for herself in an orderly manner. Tell that to a little shy girl who came home crying every day. Well Poppy taught her to box and once day coming home from school a boy started on her so she gave him a great left hook and decked him...after that she had no more problems with bullying... That younger kid in question in that video, taunted and taunted that boy for so long previously and I feel he got what he deserved, a bit harsh you say, but I bet that kid will think twice before taunting another child..  |

When I first saw this I was shocked....so I watched it again. I agree 2 wrongs don't make a right but i'm sorry bullying needs to stop somehow. I do think the boy could of done something other then body slammed the kid, however, with that much taunting gotta make it stop somehow. Both were punished, and hopefully the younger bully learned his lesson  |

The kid is big enough that he could have given him a firm shove instead of the body slam. The little kid acted like a jerk and should have been suspended...the bigger boy should have gotten after school detention (in my humble opinion). This is what i hate about zero tolerance, kids are suppose to just take it and hope that a teacher comes along to see that they are getting the crap beaten out of them and aren't doing anything to defend themselves. I just can't agree with that. Plus, not defending yourself isn't always a guarantee that you won't be suspended anyway. My daughters friend was beaten up, didn't find back, and got suspended anyway. I tell my daughter NEVER throw the first punch, but you can defend yourself and I'll support you.  |

I am glad the bullied victims are standing up for themselves. Not that anyone should be made fun of for any reason. It's almost like in the "Christmas Story" when ralphie beats up the bully and gives him a bloody nose. However it could of been a lot worse...He could of brought in guns and just shot all those who made fun of him.  |

I don't blame him for defending himself.  |

I agree with all of you, you can only take so much. Like Kelly said, maybe a shove was all that was needed, he was definitely at a size advantage. Regardless, bullying is an issue that we've been dealing with for a long time. I'm not saying it was right, but hey, he got the message through. More and more kids will see and eventually stand up for themselves. |

What was the kid supposed to do? Keep running home and telling his mummy? Or, stand up for himself and let the other know, NO MORE. Others were just standing around and watching, doing nothing to help. I might turn the other cheek for a time, but there's going to come a point when I'm going to stand up and do something that makes the other person listen to my 'I've had enough!' Is it right? That's a matter of perception. I, for one, am NOT going to stand and do nothing while someone jabs, pokes, and punches on me. If my verbal command to stop isn't heeded, I'm going to do something to get that point across. It looked like self defense to me.  |

Sometimes learning a lesson can be a painful thing, and I don't feel sorry for the bully at all. I'm sure his pride is hurt most of all, as this video is going viral. I'm sure the bully is completely humiliated. Good!! I hope other bullies around the world are watching and taking note. One day they will pick on the wrong person too. Karma in action!!  |

Good for him. The "authority " figures are obviously not helping the poor kids getting bullied. And those emotional scars last forever  |

I think that the bully, who wasn't hurt, learned a valuable lesson. I think that the bully's mother is an idiot. If my kid had been the bully, and I saw the video, my kid would have been grounded for a couple of months. Sometimes in life, you have to stand up to the bully's, even if you are bigger.  |

I for one thing was never a victim of such abuse, thank god, but I knew many people at school who were. It's never fun specially when these kids stand around and do absolutely nothing about it. The video is a perfect example of someone saying, " you know what? Enough is enough " More and more kids will see and start defending themselves, at least we hope. This bully definitely learned his lesson. |

This bully was clearly picking on this kid, and If it were me I wouldn't have let that punch to the face go easily. I am surprised he allowed the kid to do that to him. He is LUCKY that bigger kid did not do worse to him for his actions. I hope he learns not to pick on others.  |

Whoa, a 10th grader who is twice that kid's size! He shouldn't have picked him up so hard! I know the 10th grader was being bullied, but seriously??? This is gonna teach kids it can only be solved with violence. Couldn't he have just pushed him down? Jeeze!  |

Bullying is a serious thing, I only wish I could have bodyslammed my bullys like that, and I would not have stopped there, at least not without causing some serious damage to the bully. Unless you have ever been bullied you will not understand the above.  |

To quote an above-response: "The kid is big enough that he could have given him a firm shove instead of the body slam." Yeah, but when someone is punching you in the face and making a spectacle out of you, should you really be concerned with their well-being? We have a saying that we abide by in my Kenpo Karate lineage: "Whatever the attitude, so the response."  |
