Great post! Kids today are taught to go tell somebody about the bullying, or anything else for that matter. My dad would have wore me out for that when I was younger. I teach my kids to stay away from trouble, but when it gets down to it, they better stand up for themselves. You can't make it very far relying on somebody else to fix your problems. As a parent you want to protect your kids, but if you really want them to succeed, you have to let them handle things on their own and support them every step of the way.
