IF someone in an outta season Halloween costume but my child to further the mental illness, my child would have permission to protect themselves. Actually had a girl kicking my son in the shin hard enough to leave bruises. After telling his teacher a(5th grade) awoke hippie type; he told the play ground aide with no results. I told my son he could kick her back - and as hard as he could. Previously he'd been told to be kind to girls - mistake. Because I was an active PTA mom I was at the school a bit, I told the principal & teacher if Susie came crying to them because my son kicked her...then explained the situation & it would stop one way or the other. It did without further incident to my son's disappointment.
I hope that wasn't me! I kneed a boy in 9th grade (jr high). He stepped on my band new sandals, I had paid for them myself. It was an automatic response because I was so upset. I liked the boy & felt really bad & could tell he hurt & was embarrassed. In fact I was thinking about it just the other night. All these decades later, I still feel bad.

In middle school, I had a classmate, we got along.
One day, I'm guessing she was having her first period.
I said something to her, I don't remember what I said.
But she instantly kicked me in the balls.
It was like a pause button.
I couldn't do anything, just stand there.
No thoughts in my brain, couldn't say anything.
It wasn't like the Hollywood movies where they curl into the fetal position, it was almost like being temporarily paralyzed into a statue.
lol..
