Incidents in schoolyards are becoming more and more pronounced. Some think that it is parent's responsibility for parents to educate their child that fight back at bullies is unacceptable. Although I concede with the important of parental education, I firmly believe that sometimes endurance is not always the fine line to walk.

Supporters hold that hitting back may lead to an escalation in violence and can result in serious injury. This render physical violence in play ground circulates that children are unable to aware of the bullying is presenting. Therefore, it is essential for families to lecture their child on how to de-escalate bully from the start. For example, verbally assertive is always a good way to repel physical violence.

Physical violence should never be encouraged, however, I consider hitting back as a strategy to deter aggression and bullying. It is true that being submissive to peers and not retaliating still increases children’s risk of ongoing bullying. This endurance leave children having mental and physical health problem. Furthermore, children who fight back the first time are less likely to be the victim of bullying in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to teach children how to protect themselves. This self-defense never should be misled into physical response bullying.

From what has been discussed, the parents should teach their kids to be polite and pleasant during playing with their peers. However, fighting back instantly sometimes is a more appropriate method to protect themselves from getting hurt.
