Should bullied kids be encouraged to fight back?

Hell yeah they should. Look what political correctness is doing to people these days. Turning them into soft, weaklink emo kids who're told, "now johnny, if a kid hits you, run away and tell the teacher" The hell is that? If a kid hits you. Sock'em in the jaw, 2,3, 4 times and he won't be messing with you again. Der. Bullies don't care about rules or teachers because schools actually stick up for bullies and victimize the victims. It's total bullsh*t. Bullies don't bully kids who hit back. Common sense, that's how it was back in the day.
