If one hits another for no reason than that is wrong, but if they were arguing than one pushes another then one hits the other, its not as bad. Everyone likes to see a good fight but they should never let it get out of hand. I say that if one kid thinks he is a big bad tough guy and teases this one kid, and that kid punches the bully in the face than good for him. But if one kid just goes up to a kid who is smaller and quieter and is minding his own business and punches the kid than that is totally wrong and someone should punch him. Not beat him to a pulp but just so he knows what its like to be teased in front of everyone. I think hitting someone is wrong unless you hit the bully. Being popular is also why people hit and make fun of other people. This is because if your in the popular group and your friends will think its funny if you punch some kid who isn't in the popular crowd than your friends will want you to do it and peer pressure you into it. Then you make the kid feel bad and now he/her hates you. So bottom line is that bullying is bad and if you hit the kid your teasing that’s worse. And there are many things that can lead to someone hitting or someone teasing someone else.

In some aspects I agree with Shane and in others I have to disagree. I agree that a person should not hit someone else for no reason, but I don’t think that it is okay to hit someone if they didn’t hit you first either. If a kid is being verbally bullied I think he or she should just take it or fight back verbally. I believe that when someone takes revenge, their revenge should reflect the way they were wronged. For example if someone is verbally harassed they should take revenge verbally, by making smart comebacks or something. I think violence should be a last resort. If someone hits you I think you have the right to hit back. However, if things have not escalated to violence I don’t think you should take it to that level yourself, especially if you’re trying to be the better person. The reason I feel this way is because, violence just causes more problems. I think it should be used only in defense.

I agree with your opinion and believe it is true, but I do not like the idea. I agree that eventually after a certain amout of verbal fighting someone will go over the edge and just start fighthing, even though I don't think it's the right thing to do, kids are obviously not going to stop fighting. I agree that bullies shouldn't be bulliying kids, though. I do have to disagree with your opinion that an unpopular kid has the right to punch a bully in the face. Wouldn't that make him a hypocrit? If he was only verbally made fun of, he shouldn't make matters worse by fighting him. If someone makes fun of a kid, anything would be better than being violent, and he should take an alternative route to avoid all the complications it would create.
