Also the question is incorrect. There isn't an exact time when someone dies.

Thanks for sharing the link. It was as scientific as philosophical.

Fighting back worked a hell of a lot better than anything the "responsible" adults could ever suggest. School teachers, councilors, my mother, etc, all gave useless advice. My dad told me to fight back. When I finally listened to him, that's when the bullying stopped. I lost that fight, but won the war so to speak. Telling kids not to fight back is a terrible cowardly thing to do, the adults who do that are either ob…
Sure, if you fight back, the bully is less likely to pick on you . They’ll just pick on the next weakest kid instead.
You should volunteer yourself as a victim to save others! You sound like you're very noble.

This idea is naively appealing, but is not backed up by research. Closely related, corporal punishment results in kids who are more likely to try to get their way through violence. Though they'll also take care not to be caught doing so. This is one of the big reasons why psychologists argue against using corporal punishment.

As a kid, yes. As an adult protecting your kid, also yes. As a way to discourage bullies from bullying? Unless you are willing to escalate to jail, no. And even then it isn't that you have dissuaded them, it is that you are physically restraining them.
We can pretty reliably do better than that now. And yes, schoolyard bullying is way down from what it used to be. (A fact somewhat hidden by our calling out milder forms of bullying.)

Bullying is unrelated to corporal punishment - Self-defence is ok. Please do not conflate those two things. If a bully has never felt what they dish out, they may not like it. Self-defence is ok. For the young people in my life, I always advise to not escalate, be clear it's not ok, seek an adult's help, and if all reasonable attempts have failed, it's a-ok to stand up for yourself and neutralize a threat when the pe…
No, they are related. Corporal punishment of children predicts later bullying. Here are two random links into the research.

punishing by adults in charge. fighting back and a promise to always pay back more is very different.

#296I developed epilepsy a few years ago and each of the two times I had a waking tonic clonic aka “Grand Mal” it felt like they describe the brain when it’s dying. It’s the closest thing I’ve heard people describe as dying so it can be profound. Incidentally my neurologist said that she had patients that don’t stop their seizures because they feel like they areare mystical or part of their mental work. That’s a wild tho…

My comment has nothing to do with corporal punishment causing bullying.
I'm referring to children being left to deal with bullying directly, however it arrives inside the bully.
Whether bullying arises from home, adults at school, or otherwise is secondary.
Teachers today can often tell kids to sort it out themselves.
The strategy is to remain respectful, firmly ask for it to stop, tell an adult, and if all of those things have failed, self-defence is a last resort to the point of stopping the current and future level of bullying.
There is a reason parents put their kids into martial arts, etc.

No, that is absolutely not a misconception, and is backed by peer reviewed research such as https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/why-stigmatized-ado... . What you may be thinking of is research showing that when kids get to know each other, the ones who will become socially dominant tend to be aggressive early. But once they achieve social status, they usually turn around and become far nicer. With further aggres…
The study seems to use self-reported perception of being a bully as the main metric. They didn't even bother making the children rate each other. > But once they achieve social status, they usually turn around and become far nicer This sounds to me that their (unprovoked) aggression worked and that counter-aggression should have been encouraged earlier to make it a less viable strategy. --- This also does not describ…
> I've literally never seen a low-social status child bully a high-social status one. How would that even work? Wouldn't the supposed target be defended by his group?
classical case is someone strategically using violence to attack people
