I agree that kids can be real vicious and cruel. Bullying can be a problem online especially on MSN messenger. My oldest son who is 15 had had a few problems on Messenger and I have heard of many others.
The problem for me is when it starts on messenger and then goes on at school! My son was suspended from school this year because he was bullied by someone and it started out on messenger and ended up going on at school!!! I never got mad at him for fighting because he did not start the fight. I always told him to stick up for himself and he sure did. Well the bully ended up going to a different school because of this. Now I told him to block anyone on messenger who bothers him and so far so good!
What scares me the most is online games like Runescape...now there you have to worry about bullying and Pedefiles.

Your son probably did well in the fight because Charles probably showed your boy his best moves!  But yeah...bullies...no good.  What exactly is the definition of bully? How would one describe that?

No...I think he learned from me..  Charles is a lover not a fighter 
A bully is a boy or girl who acts mean or hurtful to others. Bullies pick on someone else as a way to get power, or to get their way, or to feel important. |

Hey, If your kid get's picked on, teach em how too lay the smack on their candy asses. It's hard maybe if your a single mom but have the kid take self defense. and teach them strike first. reward them for every time they rock bottom a bullies ass.
If the father isn't helping out with this then he needs to, or he's just a ****in, weak minded, prissy butt, mama's boy, peice of monkey crap.
but again it's only my opinion.

Sometimes it is necissary to take that route but I think it is better to teach kids to deal with their problems without violence until there is no choice. Better that they learn how to let the little stuff go. That can be hard for kids though because their self esteem is nowhere near as strong as an adults...on average...which is of course where bullies come from.

I hate bullies! I was bullied in elementary school by the bigger kids. I was a very small, skinny kid taken from a nice small town school to a rough big city school after my parents divorce. I was picked on and beat on a daily basis and wasn't used to having to defend myself so I couldn't fight back then. One day something snapped in me after being teased by one of the bullies. Several people were standing around laughing at me and thats when I fought back, well, the boy was standing near a large flight of stairs and I went from scared and humiliated to enraged and pushed the boy down the stairs. He fell all the way down and I remember him whimpering and holding his head.
I remember being in alot of trouble and having to go home with my Mom. I sure felt better! She knew that I was unhappy and had been bullied and reported it to the school board but nothing ever happened so she wasn't angry at me. I wasn't picked on much after that...in fact ever since that day if anyone tries to intimidate or humiliate me in any way, I get very angry and will fight if it comes down to it. Last guy that attempted to pick on me got well lets say.....he lost.
Not saying kids should resort to what I did but a kid can only be pushed so far ya know before he must fight back or be defeated for the rest of his/her life.

Agreed. There is a time and place for fighting. My son has a bully in his class. He called my son a couple of names and made a few remarks. We discussed how to respond to the guy. Shoot snappy comebacks and avoid fighting. I did tell my boy that if a fight was started that I woud support him and whatever position he took. I also sent an email to the teacher to document the situation, and potential risk...

Cyber bullies are the biggest cowards there are. I have run across many.
Yes, Adults.
It takes a real big man to sit behind the monitor and call people names.
