i feel bad for the kid who got bullied, not the kid that got slammed. bullying is a serious issue & it shouldn't be tolerated for one second. it is no wonder kids snap all of the time. it makes me scared to think of mikey growing up in this world and being subjected to bullying.

It makes me want to cry.

I'm surprised there weren't more comments here.

As a follow-up with more info (probably just for Hayley and Holly), the internet tells me that the chubby kid has been picked on all through junior high and high school, and this is where he finally snapped. Chubby kid was the only one that got suspended. Also, the scrawny kid's parents are suing because his ankle was broken.

In my opinion, the scrawny kid was asking for it. You can't sucker punch someone in the face and not expect any retaliation. You can't expect to go unscathed when you punch a person. You're in it until both back down or someone stops it, that's just the way fights go.

I don't love that physical violence happened. No one loves that a kid broke his ankle, but the video, it seems to me that scrawny kid was asking for it...
