Child finally snaps after being bullied (Video)

It's unfortunate that it had to go that far, but I think that was the best solution. I remember I had a school assembly about bullying and since the adults were apparently experts, they said that you should stand up for yourself, but you shouldn't react. I don't think that made any sense. How could you stand up for yourself but not react?

EDIT: Bad wording. I wouldn't say dropping a guy is the best solution, but I understand why the victim did that.

Don't underestimate the power of mean, intimidating eye contact.

The kid even has a fan website starting a fund raise for his education: http://www.caseyheynes.com/

i completly agree with this, that bully deserved everything he got. actually i would pay good money to see that bully get beaten up a lot more.
no one deserves to just be punched in the face twice and then punched in the stomach a few times too...
i think the bully got away with it quite lightly... i woulda carried on beating him up =s
 
Fighting back IS effective, but I used the Gandhi approach myself in highschool and it changed everything:
- A popular guy constantly bullied me and others
- One day he started pushing me physically
- I just kept saying "there is no reason to touch me" out loud and ignored him
- He became more and more aggressive and started punching and kicking
- At first others were laughing and "supporting him", but after I kept ignoring his pushing, punching and kicking and kept saying "there is no reason to touch me" and kept walking away they turned on him and told him to stop bullying "the innocent kid"
- He didn't stop and everybody saw him for what he was, a stupid bully. That was the last day he was a popular kid and bullied anyone
- I ended up with a couple of bruises and a lot of respect

This is a really smart way to handle these types of situations. My mom works as a conflict resolution teacher at my old elementary school.
She tries extremely hard to stress these types of ideas. The number of bullies at the school has decreases significantly.
