too senstivie kids

[Booze Zombie]

I agree with you there, but never doing it is just as bad. This isn't a black and white issue, it entirely depends on the situation.

Well, of course, but that is why I said "some of their problems".
It's just a fact of life that people somtimes need help, but not all the time is what I mean.
You've also gotta make sure you're doing "teach a man to fish" over "give a man a fish" if you actually want to help someone.

But anyway, I didn't intend to come off as some kind of brutal survivialist.

"Chuck the children into lion pits!
The survivors are obviously going to be smart, strong or fast enough to be productive members of society!"

That's a birdie. You hit it with a long tennis racket over a net. The game It's used in is like a slow mix between Volleyball and tennis.

Yes, that's a BIRDIE. Op kept calling it "birdy" like the flying animal.

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

Too many people to quote 0.o

It's quite a statement that what we call a Birdie is actually called a Shuttlecock. Obviously us Americans aren't mature enough to handle such a thing...

What's so immature about flying dicks?
Anime does it all the time.
Another one is Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
Now THAT'S a flying dick and a half.

while trying to procrastinate studying for my government and politics quiz i talked to my friend's little brother who goes to a private school. there is a kid who is gonna be expelled because he hit a kid with a birdy, and the kid who got hit cried. (these kids are like 12-13)

truthfully im not too sure how badly getting hit with a birdy can be but im pretty sure it cant make you cry. I also believe it is stupid this kid might get expelled for this. when i was in elementary school if you got hit, the teacher would just laugh at you or if it was serious send you to a nurse's office.

I personally think kids today are wimps and are too sensititve, but what do u fellow escapists believe

Edit: a birdy is the thing u play batt mitten with:http://www.topnews.in/sports/files/badminton.jpg

In my gym class, we simply take what ever we want and do what ever we want ! I took a rugby ball and simply went crazy with it (lots of throwing and kicking and hitting people in the face) Or we can just go into the field and play proper football.

Haha I like my gym class.

some fat fuck decided he could support his weight on one foot on the monkeybars and fell down to the sand. Then the monkeybars were removed, ruining everyone's fun.

OP its because the idea of a 'metrosexual sensitive guy' has been more popular lately. Anyone who thinks their kid is too girly is automatically deemed a homophobic/chauvinistic/bad parent. These people don't seem to realize that your interests are largely decided by what your parents expose you to, so if a father wants to play baseball with his son instead of barbie, that's his damn choice.

Private schools are pretty strict.
I've gotten detentions for Throwing a jumper at someone, throwing a rubber TO someone and going absolutly insane and beating the hell out of this guy who had been bullying me for over a year with a shoe.

 

[BENZOOKA]

I wouldn't generalize that every kid nowadays is an overly sensitive wimp. I know kids who fall on their heads and just brush it off.

Just few weeks ago I accidentally (couldn't see her as she was behind me) hit a 9-year-old cousin with an elbow fairly hard to an eyebrow. I almost started panicking that she got hurt, but she just mildly commented "well, that's going to leave a mark" and continued playing.

OP's story is absurd though.

 

[Elburzito]

No wonder so many people are idiots nowadays...

 

[antidonkey]

Just a bit extreme if you ask me.

Hell, I stabbed a girl when I was in....oohh..2nd grade and never got expelled. I had anger issues back then.

 

[B Goy]

If only my school was like that. All the kids at my school act like pricks maybe an explusion would help them

 

[superwookie]

I think i can top all this.
A 8-year old kid in Belgium was suspended for playing a shooting game.
Not with real guns.
Not with plastic ones.
Just his hand pointed as a gun.
The school will let him come back, but only if he follows an 'anger management class'.

 

[lwm3398]

But then again, I'm Australian, and not giving a fuck is what we do.

Unless it has to do with video games. Then tons of fucks are given.

 

[SmartIdiot]

Seriously?

Fuck me. When I was in school I got hit with one of those. Know what I did? Hit two back at the fucker that sent it my way in the first place. This turned into a badminton war and we had a good laugh until we both got detention for making a mess of the gym. Must've been about 13 or 14.

A kid cried about it? And the other one is getting expelled? Wow. When I see things like that I automatically think of lists like <a href=http://www.cracked.com/article_15231_7-reasons-21st-century-making-you-miserable.html>this.

 

[Wildrow12]

Of course kids are too sensitive these days! Back in my day, you would shake it off, and slug the twit who bopped you (unless it was done on purpose, at which point you knee 'em in the stomach until their stomach turns to tapioca) and the school wouldn't care unless you brought a weapon into the mix.

Ah, those were the days!

Rumble! Rumble! Johnny stabbed a Soc!

[sub]Get the reference or DIE[/sub].

Did you just drop an "Outsiders" moment on me?

 

[NickCooley]

I'd need a little more info before I could pass judgement. Where was he hit? How fast was the shuttlecock going? Is the kid being expelled a bully or was it just a one off incident? Too many factors to judge.

Although I see this hasn't stopped the idiots jumping all over the story. There are enough back in my day stories here to fill a light novel and there's a nice list of people who should never have kids, or at least grow up a little first.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

The main stream is raising the children to be little pussies

 

[dfphetteplace]

When I was in school (I graduated in 2004) I busted a kids nose and didn't even get in trouble because the principle saw him come up and shove me trying to start a fight. Well, I guess he thought I would shove him back, I didn't. I just broke his nose and he got kicked out. Win win for me. On the other hand, I got suspended for threatening to slit another kids throat and fuck the wound. Kids are turning into a bunch of pussies now.

 

[Gaderael]

Wow. Kids today are wussies.

When I was in Elementary/Junior High, we had a game called Red Ass. Basically, it involved 2 or more people, a single tennis ball, three "Outs", and a wall. You threw the ball at the wall, and if you or someone else fumbled the ball when trying to catch it, got hit with the ball when it bounced off the wall, or threw it at the wall but it hit the ground first, you had to run and tag the wall before someone picked up the ball and threw it either at you or the wall. If they hit you, or hit the wall before you tagged, you would have to line up facing the wall execution style, where the other person would then stand behind a line and fire the ball at you. If they hit you, then you were given an Out against you. Sometimes we played if they hit you in the head, you were given two Outs. We played this in school every Recess and Lunch period. The teachers didn't give a rat's ass, and it was good fun.

 

[hyperhammy]

lol wtf... but I wouldn't say all kids are pussies, just this cry baby.
Most schools are afraid of getting sued. Where I go to school we have to write an
essay if we get caught throwing snowballs, but two kids beating the shit out of each other
is just fine.
