"Don't start a fight, but you better finish it." is what I was told. I lost a few fights, won a few. It happens. The same people who kicked my ass, we are FRIENDS.
@@mattdoe2368 absolutely. They know you're not afraid to either kick ass or get your ass kicked, they quit. Might even make a new friend in the process.
Exactly what I was told. You don’t start shit. You END it. I got picked on once in high school. After that I was known for “talk shit get hit” 🤷🏼♂️ I never once got in trouble for standing my ground.
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. An ass whoopin is a lesson learned. I talked to my daughters counselor wich made me pissed. Told me picking up sticks an mowing the yard was child abuse.... I told the person I was not telling my child to rip a tree from out of the ground while beating them.... This world has gone to soft...
As Bruce Lee said "When you find yourself in a room surrounded by your enemies you tell yourself. I am not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me"
Dropping straight KNOWLEDGE, son... stand up words from a stand up dude... we need more people to be like adam Calhoun.. him and the people like him aren't the cancer of this country, WE'RE THE CURE 💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
In school my dad always told me “if someone’s picking on you or is pushing you around, I want you to stand up, looking then in the eyes, and punch them square in the nose.” Sure enough, it fucking worked. But probably the best example of violence being effective, one time my sister was being bullied by some dude easily three times her size. Not just making fun of her but being physically aggressive. For weeks my mother would take her to the school and talk to the teachers and what not, no surprise nothing changed. One day she comes home early in tears, when I got home my mom finally told me what had been happening. The next morning I tell my friends and we go find this kid before class, and tell him if he doesn’t apologize to her that day and leave her alone I’d beat it out of him. Few hours later this wannabe gangster walks up to me and says he’s got shooters out for me and my family. Beat the ever living shit out of him right there at the front doors of the school. Later that day his whole friend group apologized to myself and my sister, and he switched schools the following week. Took 30 seconds to fix the problem they’d been dealing with for weeks. Violence works.
I was one of the ones that got picked on constantly when I was a kid. I made it easy for them, in retrospect.. I cried easily and ran from conflict. I remember at an older age, however.. right at 7th grade.. was riding the bus home and this 9th grader kept pushing me into the bus window and taunting me.. I had had enough at this point.. was trapped with nowhere to go so to speak. I popped him in the mouth. He stopped.. kinda of confused.. I had never struck back before. He got up and switched seats to the back of the bus where one of his buddies was sitting. Apparently he told him I had punched him.. so the buddy comes and sits by me and started pushing me as well.. saying "You hit him you gotta hit me too" or something along those lines.. so I popped him in the mouth too. He was also surprised I had punched him.. but he was more of a man of action and stood up and literally pounded me to the floor.. 1 or 2 hits I cannot remember.. but the bus driver slammed the brakes and it was over. I remember walking around school for the next week with a black eye somewhat embarrassed by it.. however I also remember getting some respect from my classmates due to it. Neither of the two older kids ever messed with me again. Apparently I had earned their respect too.
@@bud1221 I was always the smallest guy among my friends. We wrestled all the time, just for fun. Sometimes, it got out of hand, words were said, punches were thrown, people got physically hurt temporarily. But it made me stronger- physically and mentally. I was fortunate. Most of the people who picked on me did so with words only, so I learned to block them out. I had one guy, only one, who got physical. He pushed me around, shoving me aside, calling me names, all three years of middle school. So freshman year of high school, we were in a very crowded hallway. I was having a really bad day already. He came up to me, said some words and pushed me, then kept walking. I snapped. I dropped my backpack. I quickly caught up to him and called his name. He turned around to face me. I slammed him hard into some nearby lockers and told him something like, "dude, we're in high school now. Grow the f*** up!" Every time he saw me after that day, he would say hello, maybe wave or smile. We were never friends, but he was cordial and kind to me after that. I realize our circumstances may be different, details may be different, but the problem is the same. This dude will likely respect your courage if you stand up to him. Sometimes in life, we have to feel pain in order to achieve our goals. Your goal, I assume, is for this kid to leave you alone. So make it very clear that you're done taking his crap and that he needs to grow up. Or try to learn more about his personal life, or him as a person. People who do these things usually are struggling with something at home or in some other area of their life. If you can learn what that is, you can use that info to either win him over with words or hurt him enough to make him go away and leave you alone. Trust me when I tell you, the feeling of success and strength you feel when you finally turn the tables- it's an amazing feeling!!!! Good luck to you bro. I hope things work out for you... 💪💪💪
@@bubzilla6137nice story and thanks , I'm a freshman , I think I should start working out so I'll feel more confident when I stand up to him. Thanks again
@@bud1221 That's a great idea! Pro tip: If you run or jog first, hey your heart rate up, you'll be able to strengthen your arms a little better doing pull ups, push ups, etc. Good luck! I'm rooting for you!! 💪🙂
So last year i found out my son was being a "bully" had this kid in class he kept picking on and throwing away his stuff like food and drinks and other school items.. apparently been going on for two years.. well i found out the day this kid finally stood up and hit my son i was rooting for the other kid at that time he only hit him(my son) twice before teachers broke it.he picked on him for smelling bad, wearing the same outfit and not having lunch. My son worked over this past summer and made some money and i took it from him and made him donate all of it to that kids lunch this year he was so mad he didn't get to spend his money.. as far as i know he hasn't even tried to bully anyone this year and he is in 8th grade now
For your kid to only be in 8th grade and he to be doing that, I would of taken matters into my own hands but smacking him across the face along with what you did XD
Your kids are lucky to have you as a parent cuz my mother will not even that cool about it if she ever found out I was bullying anybody in school unless they shoot throw me through a wall
@@lewisgriffin9684 truee, i was bullied back then, took my fights, won them and my mother never told me anything for getting in a fight, but if i bullied someone and my mother knew, damn beating goku's ass would've looked easier
Hard situation, would break my heart. I can see some problems with messing with the honest work, honest pay thing but there's always two sides to any coin.
I'm in ninth grade and my dad still whoops me if I'm out of line and now I have never been disrespectful to my elders and I love the south I'm in Tennessee and I love the rebel flags I'm in and because of Adem and church I got around talking crap to the bullies and I take up for the kids who is getting bullied
Love it dude. It's almost embarrassing to admit that I changed high schools for being bullied.... then I joined the Army at 20 and truly learned how right you are. It wasn't boot camp or airborne school that taught me to be a man like my dad didn't. It was the older dudes in my unit who taught me that. Hazing ( yeah, I'm for hazing... in certain situations) didn't stop until I finally hualed off on dudes that could easily kick my ass that I started getting accepted in the unit...my young ass would get beers instead of bitch slaps and 100mph tape. Tough love makes men. I'm proof of it.
stef vnbrssl real simple the other kid realized my kid won’t take his shit! If the other kid fought back well that’s what the second Son backup plan is for!
I remember getting off the bus one day in 2nd grade sad from being picked on for wearing clothes mom made,most of the kids in this school wasn't from here and came from wealthy family a we were farmers and lived like Amish if you want it you make it, grandpa walked me out through the field asking what was wrong I told him and he surprised me when he said "you know what your mom's going to say right?" I said yes,ignore them " he said well I'm older than her and I'm telling you if anyone touches you,you touch them back twice as hard and if we have this conversation again il bust your ass". One thing lead to another and I did what he said and turned out that farm work gave me all the tools I needed to defend myself I was just missing the confidence, fast forward nearly 30 years my grandfather was in the hospital for a long stretch and he had a shared room,I got a call one day from a nurse telling me he had just whapped a guy in the face with his cane I couldn't help but smile over the phone I knew the other guy had to deserve it.
That reminds me of my grandpa. Man do I miss him now so much. He has health issues as he got older like most do and had to walk with a cane. One day some young punk kept bumping into his cane and almost knocked him over. He turned around, picked up his cane and wacked that little mofo in the back of the knees with it. Punk tried to get mouthy with my ww2 vet grandpa, he learned where the term swearing like a sailor came from. My grandpa walked away and I couldn't help but laugh my ass off when he told me about it. You don't mess with real men. Ever, no matter how old.
I raised my kids to do everything they can do to get out of a situation. HOWEVER if they get swung on, they were required to lay them out!! No victims! We dont start it. We finish it.
F a first swing, that dipshit starts talking 💩he should've known what was comin'!!! I've shut plenty of pie holes mid sentence and wouldn't do it any other way!!! Talk💩get hit, it's that simple!! 99% of fights are over because of the first punch, so why let the shit talker get the drop?!?!?
I was told...and I’m paraphrasing. “that don’t throw the first punch stuff is bullshit. Don’t you ever let another man put his hands on you. Use your judgement, but throw that first punch if it can’t be avoided, It’s ok if you lose, point is you stood up for yourself “
I have Daughters...but I give them the same advice. They can be brutal to each other, especially to my youngest. When something happens and her Sisters have made her cry, I tell them off...but her too. I tell her that she is never allowed to let anyone be nasty to her without standing her ground. Because the kid who lets people pick on them, is the adult who lets people walk all over them. Today kids are told to tell a teacher, turn the other cheek...bullshit. I fully expect my Daughter's to give anyone who picks on them absolute hell.
Great message and one that I have taught my son since he was young. On a side note, just realized Adam Calhoun the vlogger and Adam Calhoun the rapper are the same person... Now I know how the citizens of Metropolis feel.
I tell my kids if someone is coming towards them in a threatening manner and they get into arms reach, hit them first. I've seen a lot of people get hit first and get knocked out.
I was taught never start a fight but if you gotta fight throw them hands before your opponent. Remember it only takes one lick to fold emm like a lawn chair.
Glad I’m not the only one who STILL THINKS, ACTS & TALKS THIS WAY!! I’ve said this exact thing to my kids all their lives… I was raised by my widowed mother and 2 sisters, no male to look up to learn from but mom always told me that I never better start a fight but I better make damn sure I never run from one or else she’d beat my ass when I got home!
Thank you Adam! As a Single Mother raising two adopted Sons whom are now teenagers, I give them the same advice, and parent the same way you share throughout your videos! 💖👍🎯 Tough Love, makes for Awesome grown men! 😉👍 I have given them the same advice regarding bullies, Never hit first, and once they step into your personal space punch the bejeezus out of them until they go down, then walk away. I remind them not to worry that they will not get into trouble. 😅 I love your personal videos so much and have gone through so many of them, that I am subscribing! As a matter of fact I have saved a couple of them (that you've done with your son asking him what you would do to him if he mouths back disrespecting you, ect..) so that I may share them with my fourteen-year-old. Yes, smacking Wisdom & Respect into them works out best sometimes, well mostly if they earned it! But they know better.😊 I found you because of Tom MacDonald, and the new album you both put out New World Order! 👍💖👏👏👏 Totally Love IT! 🇺🇸 #FactsMatter in the #HomeOfTheFREEbcOfTheBRAVE Thank you for your integrity, your humbleness, your truth and keep on being authentic, because the world needs many more men like YOU and Tom! #GodBlessAllPatriots 🙏 #GodBlessAmerica 🇺🇸
Or throat, if your short like me.. my pop told me the same thing. He also told me that if I lost the fight, he would whoop my ass again!! Haven't lost one yet😁
I've always said that bullies pick easy targets. If somebody defends themself, they are no longer an easy target. All through school, they tell you to tell an adult. That sends the message that you can't solve your own problems and you need someone else to.
Path of least resistance. You fight back, they think twice, and usually move on. Not every time, but more often than not, they will find someone easier to pick on.
Adam your the best ...i always told my children these same life basics growing up....never start ,yet never take a ass whooping...stand up for yourself, your family, and always be yourself and stand up for what you know is right ...no matter what .
Last year my seven-year-old daughter was being picked on. I told her to stand up for herself to protect herself. Don't start a fight but finish it. A few days later she got into a fight and she finished it. Last year she was in three different fights. She did not get into one this year.
This is how I was raised as well. However, it is outdated in today’s time due to wanna be gangsters. You beat them 1on1 and they are waiting for you with 5 friends in the parking lot.
I told my some the same “don’t start a fight but if someone else starts a fight, you better finish it” so I agree about being bullied, it is making them a victim. So thank you!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Man I’m 44 and I swear I heard that exact same thing said from my father up here in Toledo Ohio. .. for its real life parenting. Stand up and stand your fucking ground .. amen brother 💯🇺🇸❤️
I have the same situation going on with my 10 year old daughter. She even said the same thing about not wanting to get in trouble at school. I told her if she's defending herself, she won't be in trouble from me, unless she started the fight. I told her almost exactly what you said. Don't start a fight, but if someone puts their hands on you, you defend yourself. Even if you get beat up, 9 times out of 10, they will leave you alone.
Mike Felty that is how my dad raised me. I’m going to raise my kids just like that. I got my ass kick. And I also won a fight. We can’t use the word bullying in my house, and I respect that.
@@raymundojimenez9693 I've considered BJJ or Muay Thai style kickboxing for her. She seems to like the idea of kickboxing more, so that may be coming in the near future. I think it will help her confidence as well.
I got “bullied” every single day in the beginning of 6th grade towards the middle of .6th grade my dad got sent to Iraq. The kid bullying me said to me one day “your dad just went to Iraq didn’t he? I replied yeah he did. He than told me he hoped my dad gets killed over there. That is the day I fucking snapped and beat the ever loving shit out of this kid. I always knew how to box. My brother was in boxing and became a boxing coach I just never actually got into a “street fight” until then. And after that I never let another person “bully me” Knuck up or shut up 🤘🏼
Damn that's a fucked up thing to say. Glad you put that lil twerp in his fuckin place. Probably lives in his parents basement and bashes trump while.livin on the Gov't doll
NPC DEPLORABLE32 fortunately he did. He survived an IED blast about 6 months after his deployment. Unfortunately his gunner was killed and my dads driver of the humvee that was hit lost his leg and was pretty banged up. The blast went of directly underneath my dads seat and that’s pretty much what saved him. Most percussion blast from explosives travels outward rather than up so really my dad was probably in the best place given the situation. He came out alittle banged up and had a severe concussion. But he did make it back okay. Physically okay atleast..
@Goodim Glad dont listen and dont humiliate yourself... hold up before I engage anymore, do you believe in "participation trophies" ? Snowflakes will melt it's part of natural selection.
So true. I was bullied in jr high over 50 yrs ago. I was scared to fight. I have been HAUNTED by my cowardice all the past 50 yrs and still think about it. A life long torture. If I could go back I would fight.
This generation is so pussified. Instead of sticking up for themselves, their mother calls and threatens the school and rants on social media. I agree with your approach of teaching your son to never start the fight but to protect himself and not run away. I am honestly scared for the next generation. And it will only get worse from there
I ain’t had my ass beat, and I’ve had probably over 70 street fights. And I ain’t bragging I fixing to give some advice. I never argued or talked shit, or met them somewhere. or sometime. When they started it, usually pushing or running their mouth, I hit them and kept hitting until they were done , or I was pulled off. Don’t fight when, how, or where, someone wants to fight, when possible always hit first, and hit with pure intention and beat them with every ounce of hatred in your body, even if it means chewing their fucking face off.. All that rage that has built up from being bullied, pour it on them ever so violently.. But if you, me, whoever goes starting shit someone will eventually hand you your ass. The bully is always at a disadvantage if you have learned how to take advantage of it. Be the cornered predator they think is prey and you will win most that cross you. It’s truly a natural phenomenon.
I had a bully once in my freshman year I high school when I finally stood up for myself and let him have it, I’m thinking that it’s over I’m the hero. However classmates warned me that my bully is part of a Latino Street gang and he has friends. I thought they were just bluffing, but the next day, him and his friends jumped me in the hallway as revenge. Do I regret it? NO. As of right now, they’re all in prison!
@@kyle4586 There were like five gang members that were on this. Besides bullies like to be in groups just in case one of their homies gets hit and has backup. That's cowardly!
When I started high school (13 years old), there was a kid in grade 12 (17 years old) that was constantly picking at my mates and I. We threw hands and he never picked on us, or anyone at school again. There’s only so many times you can tell someone to fuck off before taking a swing. You’re spot on the money.
Great words of wisdom, I talk to my kids everyday if they feel "Bullied" or picked on! I tell them the same thing, but I teach them to ignore it and if anyone puts hands on to lay em out!
This is the SAME EXACT advice my Dad gave me 20 years ago back in school when I was getting targeted by the school bully. He said ignore them, if that doesn't work tell them to stop, last resort beat their ass! Never swing first but make sure you swing last. That's the same thing I told my kids when they started school. Never start a fight but make damn sure you finish it and don't worry about the school, let Momma worry about it.
Adam we need more MEN like you in the world, we taught our son at 10-11 the same thing now my son had learning issues due to 3 strokes at birth otherwise normal healthy kid was teased for over a year until the day he played that kid out now yes he threw the first punch but that was the last day he was made fun of and when called up to his school which were aware of the teasing and tried to have my son suspended for it we his parents fought for him and as a family we changed his school but worth it , Love your Channel and music from Australia 👍✌
@GoFuck Yourself Hey, I dont judge on any name that anyone has chosen on here. I like to reply to the person that I am commenting about with their name so I make sure they read it. You have some good insight!
Adam this is the best one yet i got a six yr old son and word for word i been telling him the same shit his hole life these kids these days aint cut like us they quick to pull a gun much love and respect brother from Pittsburgh pa
This is what’s wrong with the world we’re living in today, not enough people standing up for themselves and what they believe in. Mad respect, bruh! 🤘🏼
I been posting this on your videos and Facebook let's make it happen I'm no baddass but I'm not afraid I'm country so you take it or give either way you get respect.
Who gives a fuck what the teacher catches cause you both are gonna be in trouble anyway it dont matter who starts it .. Beat their fucking ass .. #BullyBeatDown
Amen!! I told both my boys same thing, dont start fight but you damn well better finish it. And they will never get in trouble at home for Sticking up for yourself or someone else.
I agree 100% when I was in middle school I was always picked on. I didn’t grow up with a dad so I never had a father figure to teach me what tough love is. My mom always got involved and I was labeled a snitch all throughout it. I was miserable but my mom never taught me that I needed to stand up for myself because she always took it upon herself to get involved. I guess that’s just mother instinct but I look back at it and I pray to god that when I have kids I have the strength to hold back and let them stick up for themselves. Love your vids man.
Thanks for the honesty....I grew up under strict grandparents.....my grandfather died when I was young but he always told me stand up when you need to stand up.
SartixFilms I fee you, my dad past when I was 10, I had a lot of the same problems at first, and my teeth are fucked lol I learned real quick to fight, I got expelled in 7th grade for for beating up a “bully” with purple hair lmfao
Omg! Same. I was taught violence bad fighting’s bad do t do it. By H.S. I kinda figured things out got in a few fights my freshman year that was the end of my bullies. Jr. high was pure hell. I could have skipped 7th grade but I was afraid of the bullies. God I wish I’d have had a father figure to tech me to defend myself when I was younger.
Yep was never told to stand up for being picked on or pushed around, plus the principal I had she hated the hell out of me who knows what I wouldve got if I got in a fight. Looking back I wish I wouldve toughened up
Sir, And I say Sir in the most respectful way. I sir am a 57-year old Marine. Today I found myself feeling proud of country once again.hearing a young man speaking Truth. Such as yourself, at a time when I was starting to believe America was going down the shitter. A young man like you, reminds me why I became a U.S. Marine. Sometimes you have to fight to keep what is yours, that's how this country was founded. There is no participation trophy when it comes to keeping your freedom. Fighting For Truth! Is the only way. Thank you for being a Voice of Truth!!
Exactly what I've told my 11 year old son. Don't ever start the fight, but if someone is picking on him, I told him to defend himself. And I wouldn't get mad
Yep I can see it. We've made our kids weak and incapable of dealing with adversity. I realize that we did it with good intentions, but it's hurting our kids far more than any bully ever could.
Violence solves problems temporarily. It is a short term solution. In the long term, it leads to more violence. According to MLK, “Violence brings only temporary victories; violence, by creating many more social problems than it solves, never brings permanent peace.”
By the time I was 20, no one crossed the line. I stood up and handled business for people that didn't know how, too. I got screwed with mercilessly but I never cried about it. People like that need yo sit down.
Love this guy. He calls it exactly like it is. My dad told me that I had better not start fights, but that I could end any fight someone started with me. If I started a fight and I got my ass kicked, he told me it was my fault and to take it like a man. I never started any fights and he always backed me when I finished any. We had a few good neighborhood pecking order fights throughout the years and the parents let the boys sort it out. As it should be.

If your kid is still young enough to be bothered by online comments then he should be outside playing with friends, riding a bike, shooting hoops... parents now a days use the internet as their babysitter SMDH
@@Alex420DT unless you have parental locks on everything. Goodluck! My 11 year old daughter now knows every porn position and aint no telling what else. I also noticed when i limited there time on tablet/phone they became kids again. Playing outside. Playing games. When they are on tablet or phone they are just little zombies locked in to the internet! Glad i climbed trees am3d raced barefooted on blacktop daily. 😆
Hell I just fought anyone I could. I was bullied. Caused me to have a lot of aggression. Not murderous aggression but just the type that made everyone know not to piss you off cause they know if they do, they might wind up with some bruises and broken bones
My Dad would always tell me if you back down they will keep coming at you. Stand up and defend yourself son and I will stand behind you son. And remember one ass kickin is just like another.
Took me years to understand this. It isn’t about winning or losing. It’s about causing a problem. And that bully will not want the problem same goes for prison.
This video is exactly why I respect and support you in everything you do! So glad you've got such a reach through social media. THIS is what the world needs right now.
I was a big tomboy growing up. Nobody really picked on me until we got a new principal and her kid thought it was ok to make fun of me for being adopted and for my mom being dead. We were playing knock out one day and I beat him fair and square and he looks at me and says "well at least I have a mom". I immediately decided I wasn't going to take that shit from anyone and I took my basketball and chucked it in his face as hard as possible.... He sat up with blood running from his nose, and him crying "MOOOMMMMYYYYY", I transferred high schools and learned how to hold my own ground since then.
TRUTH Brother!!! ...bet you didn’t know you were gonna be Preacher when you grew up!!! It’s BADASS...because the Lord works in The Craziest Ways!!! Appreciate Ya!!
Adam, I swear to God the same situation happened between my son and myself. There was a kid picking on my son and my son came to me and said dad does kid has been picking on me I've tried to do everything I possibly can but he continues to do it. I told him well if you have done everything you're supposed to the next time he goes to pick on you you one leash on him don't worry about what anybody else says the school or the little cop that's in the school you worry about me dad. The next day I'm at work I get a phone call the principal says your son was in a fight, and he said that you told him it was okay. And it was all caught on video. The kid came out to my son and pushed him off the lunch table, my son got up climbed over the lunch table punching and kicking this kid like a Savage. One of my most proudest days as a dad. My son is not a bully my son did the right things and stuck up for himself and after that the last four years of school was his greatest. Keep up the good work brother
Mr Calhoun, ALL of the things you said are exactly what I was tought as a kid. Stand up, lose, stand up again, that kid will stop when he finds out you won't. And my old pop always said if someone says they never lost, they're choosing their fights too well, or haven't had enough of them. I stand by what I was tought, my knuckles hurt a little for it but I'd guess feeling like a bitch would hurt worse. On this thing you are right. Parents, let your kids stand up for themselves. They might find strength in a win they didn't expect, or respect in a loss they took with their hands up. All respect is earned, including self-respect.
I got picked on a lot in high school but it stopped when I would stand up for myself. I was quiet but a bigger kid so people backed off most of the time. Growing a backbone is the only way to be left alone
Same thing happened to my 8 y.o. daughter, i was so proud when i got that call from the school and the principal said " sounds like she( the bully) deserved it".
I’m a country boy from Texas I had to deal with my share of bullying growing up won once lost once. Both times I was protecting myself. Never was I the instigator. Point is I couldn’t agree more! I raise my 2 boys the same way Amen🙏🏻🇺🇸
Damn man, I truly respect how honest you are. I've raised my kids not to look for a fight, mind their manners, go to church on Sunday, and be grateful for what you have. But I also told them never back down from bullying. Bully's are just an a$$ waiting patiently to put in place, never knowing when that hand off reality will knock them on their a$$. Please keep being honest about the s#!? everyone on this planet goes through. There is no need for any race to be against any other. The last time I checked my calender, I didn't have slaves or any other race.
I rmr getting picked on in elementary school everyday by a lot of my classmates. I honestly made it easy for them to pick on me because I was the cry baby, I would cry over the smallest things. One boy who lived near by and messed with me the most decided to start a physical altercation with me and I let him have it.... he left me alone, moved away, and changed schools. Everyone else also left me alone. That's when I learned a valuable lesson to never start fights, but if you are forced into the fight, you fuckin finish it. Stand up for yourself and people wont want to mess with you.
Amen. This big mean girl used to mess with me Brenda you know who you are. Punched her in the nose and she ran off crying. She turned into a completely different person. Your welcome Brenda for making you a better person.
There's a term for these types of people. The type that never start fights, but are capable of finishing them. The type that are vicious fighters, but choose to be compassionate lovers at the same time. The type that are kind, calm, restrained men of resolve, but are capable of great violence. They are called Warrior Poets.
Truth. I never started a fight in school, but finished many. Principle saying, "you need to come to me if another student... blah, blah, blah." Meanwhile, my old man said just like you "defend yourself"
Best thing I ever said to someone trying to pick a fight with me. "I can't make you leave me alone. But I can make you wish you did."
Damn ! Good one !
No fucken doubt! Good one indeed
Ye that's shit hot. I like it
Good for you! Wish I would have had that line back in the day!
Word
"Don't start a fight, but you better finish it." is what I was told. I lost a few fights, won a few. It happens. The same people who kicked my ass, we are FRIENDS.

Exactly what I was told. You don’t start shit. You END it. I got picked on once in high school. After that I was known for “talk shit get hit” 🤷🏼♂️ I never once got in trouble for standing my ground.
I've never fought in my life but I'm willing to. This man is truly inspiring

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. An ass whoopin is a lesson learned. I talked to my daughters counselor wich made me pissed. Told me picking up sticks an mowing the yard was child abuse....
I told the person I was not telling my child to rip a tree from out of the ground while beating them....

Dropping straight KNOWLEDGE, son... stand up words from a stand up dude... we need more people to be like adam Calhoun.. him and the people like him aren't the cancer of this country, WE'RE THE CURE 💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
In school my dad always told me “if someone’s picking on you or is pushing you around, I want you to stand up, looking then in the eyes, and punch them square in the nose.”
Sure enough, it fucking worked.
But probably the best example of violence being effective, one time my sister was being bullied by some dude easily three times her size. Not just making fun of her but being physically aggressive. For weeks my mother would take her to the school and talk to the teachers and what not, no surprise nothing changed. One day she comes home early in tears, when I got home my mom finally told me what had been happening. The next morning I tell my friends and we go find this kid before class, and tell him if he doesn’t apologize to her that day and leave her alone I’d beat it out of him. Few hours later this wannabe gangster walks up to me and says he’s got shooters out for me and my family. Beat the ever living shit out of him right there at the front doors of the school. Later that day his whole friend group apologized to myself and my sister, and he switched schools the following week. Took 30 seconds to fix the problem they’d been dealing with for weeks. Violence works.
I was one of the ones that got picked on constantly when I was a kid. I made it easy for them, in retrospect.. I cried easily and ran from conflict. I remember at an older age, however.. right at 7th grade.. was riding the bus home and this 9th grader kept pushing me into the bus window and taunting me.. I had had enough at this point.. was trapped with nowhere to go so to speak. I popped him in the mouth. He stopped.. kinda of confused.. I had never struck back before. He got up and switched seats to the back of the bus where one of his buddies was sitting. Apparently he told him I had punched him.. so the buddy comes and sits by me and started pushing me as well.. saying "You hit him you gotta hit me too" or something along those lines.. so I popped him in the mouth too. He was also surprised I had punched him.. but he was more of a man of action and stood up and literally pounded me to the floor.. 1 or 2 hits I cannot remember.. but the bus driver slammed the brakes and it was over. I remember walking around school for the next week with a black eye somewhat embarrassed by it.. however I also remember getting some respect from my classmates due to it. Neither of the two older kids ever messed with me again. Apparently I had earned their respect too.
Respect comes at a cost sometimes but well worth the Price!!!!
"Stand up for yourself and punch somebody in the nose... Bye frands!" 😂😂😂😂 love it
Yeah no. I'm getting bullied by this muscular guy, and I'm scrawny af , no way I'm fighting that guy just to get my ass beat , fuck this advice
@@bud1221 learn to defend yourself. Scrawny people can fight too, speed over muscle. Dodge or block attacks til you catch em vulnerable
@@bud1221 I was always the smallest guy among my friends. We wrestled all the time, just for fun. Sometimes, it got out of hand, words were said, punches were thrown, people got physically hurt temporarily. But it made me stronger- physically and mentally. I was fortunate. Most of the people who picked on me did so with words only, so I learned to block them out. I had one guy, only one, who got physical. He pushed me around, shoving me aside, calling me names, all three years of middle school. So freshman year of high school, we were in a very crowded hallway. I was having a really bad day already. He came up to me, said some words and pushed me, then kept walking. I snapped. I dropped my backpack. I quickly caught up to him and called his name. He turned around to face me. I slammed him hard into some nearby lockers and told him something like, "dude, we're in high school now. Grow the f*** up!" Every time he saw me after that day, he would say hello, maybe wave or smile. We were never friends, but he was cordial and kind to me after that. I realize our circumstances may be different, details may be different, but the problem is the same. This dude will likely respect your courage if you stand up to him. Sometimes in life, we have to feel pain in order to achieve our goals. Your goal, I assume, is for this kid to leave you alone. So make it very clear that you're done taking his crap and that he needs to grow up. Or try to learn more about his personal life, or him as a person. People who do these things usually are struggling with something at home or in some other area of their life. If you can learn what that is, you can use that info to either win him over with words or hurt him enough to make him go away and leave you alone. Trust me when I tell you, the feeling of success and strength you feel when you finally turn the tables- it's an amazing feeling!!!! Good luck to you bro. I hope things work out for you... 💪💪💪
@@bubzilla6137nice story and thanks , I'm a freshman , I think I should start working out so I'll feel more confident when I stand up to him. Thanks again
@@bud1221 That's a great idea! Pro tip: If you run or jog first, hey your heart rate up, you'll be able to strengthen your arms a little better doing pull ups, push ups, etc. Good luck! I'm rooting for you!! 💪🙂
One thing I never forgot my pops told me.
The worse ass whooping you will ever get is the one you don't fight back.
So last year i found out my son was being a "bully" had this kid in class he kept picking on and throwing away his stuff like food and drinks and other school items.. apparently been going on for two years.. well i found out the day this kid finally stood up and hit my son i was rooting for the other kid at that time he only hit him(my son) twice before teachers broke it.he picked on him for smelling bad, wearing the same outfit and not having lunch. My son worked over this past summer and made some money and i took it from him and made him donate all of it to that kids lunch this year he was so mad he didn't get to spend his money.. as far as i know he hasn't even tried to bully anyone this year and he is in 8th grade now
For your kid to only be in 8th grade and he to be doing that, I would of taken matters into my own hands but smacking him across the face along with what you did XD
Your kids are lucky to have you as a parent cuz my mother will not even that cool about it if she ever found out I was bullying anybody in school unless they shoot throw me through a wall
@@lewisgriffin9684 truee, i was bullied back then, took my fights, won them and my mother never told me anything for getting in a fight, but if i bullied someone and my mother knew, damn beating goku's ass would've looked easier
Hard situation, would break my heart. I can see some problems with messing with the honest work, honest pay thing but there's always two sides to any coin.
I'm in ninth grade and my dad still whoops me if I'm out of line and now I have never been disrespectful to my elders and I love the south I'm in Tennessee and I love the rebel flags I'm in and because of Adem and church I got around talking crap to the bullies and I take up for the kids who is getting bullied
Love it dude. It's almost embarrassing to admit that I changed high schools for being bullied.... then I joined the Army at 20 and truly learned how right you are. It wasn't boot camp or airborne school that taught me to be a man like my dad didn't. It was the older dudes in my unit who taught me that. Hazing ( yeah, I'm for hazing... in certain situations) didn't stop until I finally hualed off on dudes that could easily kick my ass that I started getting accepted in the unit...my young ass would get beers instead of bitch slaps and 100mph tape. Tough love makes men. I'm proof of it.
Thank you for your service

right on!!!!
@@tommystringham3856 that doesn't really sound like a good solution, how can he defend himself when the other kid fights back?

Mad respect bro.. keep America strong.
"Naked force has resolved more issues than any other factor throughout history." -Michael Ironside Starship Troopers.
I remember getting off the bus one day in 2nd grade sad from being picked on for wearing clothes mom made,most of the kids in this school wasn't from here and came from wealthy family a we were farmers and lived like Amish if you want it you make it, grandpa walked me out through the field asking what was wrong I told him and he surprised me when he said "you know what your mom's going to say right?" I said yes,ignore them " he said well I'm older than her and I'm telling you if anyone touches you,you touch them back twice as hard and if we have this conversation again il bust your ass". One thing lead to another and I did what he said and turned out that farm work gave me all the tools I needed to defend myself I was just missing the confidence, fast forward nearly 30 years my grandfather was in the hospital for a long stretch and he had a shared room,I got a call one day from a nurse telling me he had just whapped a guy in the face with his cane I couldn't help but smile over the phone I knew the other guy had to deserve it.
Turn the other cheek until it's time to hit their cheek. Best choice is to always try to avoid it, but don't be a punching bag either.
God Bless Grandpa's and all their wisdom.....
Hell yeah. MST have been a punk ass.
That reminds me of my grandpa. Man do I miss him now so much. He has health issues as he got older like most do and had to walk with a cane. One day some young punk kept bumping into his cane and almost knocked him over. He turned around, picked up his cane and wacked that little mofo in the back of the knees with it. Punk tried to get mouthy with my ww2 vet grandpa, he learned where the term swearing like a sailor came from. My grandpa walked away and I couldn't help but laugh my ass off when he told me about it. You don't mess with real men. Ever, no matter how old.
I raised my kids to do everything they can do to get out of a situation. HOWEVER if they get swung on, they were required to lay them out!! No victims! We dont start it. We finish it.
Yeah buddy
F a first swing, that dipshit starts talking 💩he should've known what was comin'!!! I've shut plenty of pie holes mid sentence and wouldn't do it any other way!!! Talk💩get hit, it's that simple!! 99% of fights are over because of the first punch, so why let the shit talker get the drop?!?!?
Right finish it any way ya can
Yep throw the last punch and run like hell
Same here with my boys.
Paw paw said and I quote
“ Don’t throw the first punch, but make damn sure you throw the last” worked for me lol
I was told the same
I was told...and I’m paraphrasing. “that don’t throw the first punch stuff is bullshit. Don’t you ever let another man put his hands on you. Use your judgement, but throw that first punch if it can’t be avoided, It’s ok if you lose, point is you stood up for yourself “
@@user-tr9nj6ki8u exactly
My dad said if your going to fight.. hit first hit hard. Hit as many time you can
If he knocks you down with the first punch? Then what ?? So no way ... I warn you 3 times .. then I throw the first punch 🥊..
I have Daughters...but I give them the same advice. They can be brutal to each other, especially to my youngest. When something happens and her Sisters have made her cry, I tell them off...but her too. I tell her that she is never allowed to let anyone be nasty to her without standing her ground. Because the kid who lets people pick on them, is the adult who lets people walk all over them.
Today kids are told to tell a teacher, turn the other cheek...bullshit. I fully expect my Daughter's to give anyone who picks on them absolute hell.
SAME HERE BROTHER !!!
Great message and one that I have taught my son since he was young.
On a side note, just realized Adam Calhoun the vlogger and Adam Calhoun the rapper are the same person... Now I know how the citizens of Metropolis feel.

AFTER that THROW HITS!!!
@guzman890 Yes!!! It constitutes as a hit
I tell my kids if someone is coming towards them in a threatening manner and they get into arms reach, hit them first. I've seen a lot of people get hit first and get knocked out.
@@saenglish044 Sound advice my friend
I was taught never start a fight but if you gotta fight throw them hands before your opponent. Remember it only takes one lick to fold emm like a lawn chair.
Dont throw the first but damn sure throw the last
Glad I’m not the only one who STILL THINKS, ACTS & TALKS THIS WAY!! I’ve said this exact thing to my kids all their lives… I was raised by my widowed mother and 2 sisters, no male to look up to learn from but mom always told me that I never better start a fight but I better make damn sure I never run from one or else she’d beat my ass when I got home!
Thank you Adam! As a Single Mother raising two adopted Sons whom are now teenagers, I give them the same advice, and parent the same way you share throughout your videos! 💖👍🎯

I have given them the same advice regarding bullies, Never hit first, and once they step into your personal space punch the bejeezus out of them until they go down, then walk away. I remind them not to worry that they will not get into trouble. 😅

Exactly
Thirsty4Socialist& CommunistTears2020 throat punch is good way to kill someone and go to prison for murder but sounds cool to say to sound tough
Lmaooo then he beats your ass
I've always said that bullies pick easy targets. If somebody defends themself, they are no longer an easy target. All through school, they tell you to tell an adult. That sends the message that you can't solve your own problems and you need someone else to.
Path of least resistance. You fight back, they think twice, and usually move on. Not every time, but more often than not, they will find someone easier to pick on.
Amen!

Adam your the best ...i always told my children these same life basics growing up....never start ,yet never take a ass whooping...stand up for yourself, your family, and always be yourself and stand up for what you know is right ...no matter what .
Last year my seven-year-old daughter was being picked on. I told her to stand up for herself to protect herself. Don't start a fight but finish it. A few days later she got into a fight and she finished it. Last year she was in three different fights. She did not get into one this year.
This is how I was raised as well. However, it is outdated in today’s time due to wanna be gangsters.
You beat them 1on1 and they are waiting for you with 5 friends in the parking lot.
Chris McCaskill - that’s when adults need to become involved. One on one fight, no.
Break out the baseball bat then.
James Pless start busting some knee caps. People want to act tough until it’s time to get violent then the bitch comes out.
That's only because of the constant weakening of each individual. Fight and people will stand next to you
Idk 3 girls thought they could take on my daughter and they were very wrong. She got them hands tho lol
I told my some the same “don’t start a fight but if someone else starts a fight, you better finish it” so I agree about being bullied, it is making them a victim. So thank you!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Man I’m 44 and I swear I heard that exact same thing said from my father up here in Toledo Ohio. .. for its real life parenting. Stand up and stand your fucking ground .. amen brother 💯🇺🇸❤️
I have the same situation going on with my 10 year old daughter. She even said the same thing about not wanting to get in trouble at school. I told her if she's defending herself, she won't be in trouble from me, unless she started the fight. I told her almost exactly what you said. Don't start a fight, but if someone puts their hands on you, you defend yourself. Even if you get beat up, 9 times out of 10, they will leave you alone.
Mike Felty that is how my dad raised me. I’m going to raise my kids just like that. I got my ass kick. And I also won a fight. We can’t use the word bullying in my house, and I respect that.

@@raymundojimenez9693 I've considered BJJ or Muay Thai style kickboxing for her. She seems to like the idea of kickboxing more, so that may be coming in the near future. I think it will help her confidence as well.
I don't have children but if I did I'd make sure they learned some kind of self defense.
I got “bullied” every single day in the beginning of 6th grade towards the middle of .6th grade my dad got sent to Iraq. The kid bullying me said to me one day “your dad just went to Iraq didn’t he? I replied yeah he did. He than told me he hoped my dad gets killed over there. That is the day I fucking snapped and beat the ever loving shit out of this kid. I always knew how to box. My brother was in boxing and became a boxing coach I just never actually got into a “street fight” until then. And after that I never let another person “bully me” Knuck up or shut up 🤘🏼

Good for you. Your pops make it back ok.
NPC DEPLORABLE32 fortunately he did. He survived an IED blast about 6 months after his deployment. Unfortunately his gunner was killed and my dads driver of the humvee that was hit lost his leg and was pretty banged up. The blast went of directly underneath my dads seat and that’s pretty much what saved him. Most percussion blast from explosives travels outward rather than up so really my dad was probably in the best place given the situation. He came out alittle banged up and had a severe concussion. But he did make it back okay. Physically okay atleast..

So true. I was bullied in jr high over 50 yrs ago. I was scared to fight. I have been HAUNTED by my cowardice all the past 50 yrs and still think about it. A life long torture. If I could go back I would fight.

This generation is so pussified. Instead of sticking up for themselves, their mother calls and threatens the school and rants on social media. I agree with your approach of teaching your son to never start the fight but to protect himself and not run away. I am honestly scared for the next generation. And it will only get worse from there
I ain’t had my ass beat, and I’ve had probably over 70 street fights. And I ain’t bragging I fixing to give some advice. I never argued or talked shit, or met them somewhere. or sometime. When they started it, usually pushing or running their mouth, I hit them and kept hitting until they were done , or I was pulled off. Don’t fight when, how, or where, someone wants to fight, when possible always hit first, and hit with pure intention and beat them with every ounce of hatred in your body, even if it means chewing their fucking face off.. All that rage that has built up from being bullied, pour it on them ever so violently.. But if you, me, whoever goes starting shit someone will eventually hand you your ass. The bully is always at a disadvantage if you have learned how to take advantage of it. Be the cornered predator they think is prey and you will win most that cross you. It’s truly a natural phenomenon.

When I started high school (13 years old), there was a kid in grade 12 (17 years old) that was constantly picking at my mates and I. We threw hands and he never picked on us, or anyone at school again. There’s only so many times you can tell someone to fuck off before taking a swing. You’re spot on the money.
Preach it Adam.. U tha realest PERSON on the internet.. like the whole internets 😁💯💯💯❤
Loyalty, Love, Respect, and Common Sense 👊🏼👊🏼
Great words of wisdom, I talk to my kids everyday if they feel "Bullied" or picked on! I tell them the same thing, but I teach them to ignore it and if anyone puts hands on to lay em out!
This is the SAME EXACT advice my Dad gave me 20 years ago back in school when I was getting targeted by the school bully. He said ignore them, if that doesn't work tell them to stop, last resort beat their ass! Never swing first but make sure you swing last. That's the same thing I told my kids when they started school. Never start a fight but make damn sure you finish it and don't worry about the school, let Momma worry about it.
Adam we need more MEN like you in the world, we taught our son at 10-11 the same thing now my son had learning issues due to 3 strokes at birth otherwise normal healthy kid was teased for over a year until the day he played that kid out now yes he threw the first punch but that was the last day he was made fun of and when called up to his school which were aware of the teasing and tried to have my son suspended for it we his parents fought for him and as a family we changed his school but worth it ,

TRUTH, everyone has to deal with "bullies" it's a part of life, it is a very important life lesson
I agree 100% when I was in middle school I was always picked on. I didn’t grow up with a dad so I never had a father figure to teach me what tough love is. My mom always got involved and I was labeled a snitch all throughout it. I was miserable but my mom never taught me that I needed to stand up for myself because she always took it upon herself to get involved. I guess that’s just mother instinct but I look back at it and I pray to god that when I have kids I have the strength to hold back and let them stick up for themselves. Love your vids man.
Thanks for the honesty....I grew up under strict grandparents.....my grandfather died when I was young but he always told me stand up when you need to stand up.
SartixFilms I fee you, my dad past when I was 10, I had a lot of the same problems at first, and my teeth are fucked lol I learned real quick to fight, I got expelled in 7th grade for for beating up a “bully” with purple hair lmfao
Omg! Same. I was taught violence bad fighting’s bad do t do it. By H.S. I kinda figured things out got in a few fights my freshman year that was the end of my bullies. Jr. high was pure hell. I could have skipped 7th grade but I was afraid of the bullies. God I wish I’d have had a father figure to tech me to defend myself when I was younger.
Yep was never told to stand up for being picked on or pushed around, plus the principal I had she hated the hell out of me who knows what I wouldve got if I got in a fight. Looking back I wish I wouldve toughened up
Sir, And I say Sir in the most respectful way. I sir am a 57-year old Marine. Today I found myself feeling proud of country once again.hearing a young man speaking Truth.

Sometimes you have to fight to keep what is yours, that's how this country was founded. There is no participation trophy when it comes to keeping your freedom. Fighting For Truth! Is the only way. Thank you for being a Voice of Truth!!
Exactly what I've told my 11 year old son. Don't ever start the fight, but if someone is picking on him, I told him to defend himself. And I wouldn't get mad
Yep I can see it. We've made our kids weak and incapable of dealing with adversity. I realize that we did it with good intentions, but it's hurting our kids far more than any bully ever could.
People who say "Violence never solved anything" have never opened a history book. Violence literally solves everything.
Hahahahaha!
Yes.
yeah not really, diplomacy has solved way more problems. Unless you think that the middle east is a great example why violence has solved anything
Violence solves problems temporarily. It is a short term solution. In the long term, it leads to more violence.
According to MLK, “Violence brings only temporary victories; violence, by creating many more social problems than it solves, never brings permanent peace.”
By the time I was 20, no one crossed the line. I stood up and handled business for people that didn't know how, too. I got screwed with mercilessly but I never cried about it. People like that need yo sit down.
Love this guy. He calls it exactly like it is. My dad told me that I had better not start fights, but that I could end any fight someone started with me. If I started a fight and I got my ass kicked, he told me it was my fault and to take it like a man. I never started any fights and he always backed me when I finished any. We had a few good neighborhood pecking order fights throughout the years and the parents let the boys sort it out. As it should be.
For all you people who have given this a thumbs down!
This is what better then you looks like.

“Your kid gets picked on on the internet? Take him off the internet.”
Sir, you nailed it! That is effing brilliance dude!!!! You are 5,000,000,000 brain cells ahead of 95% of these parents! (That’s 5 billion for that 95% out there darlins...😂)
If your kid is still young enough to be bothered by online comments then he should be outside playing with friends, riding a bike, shooting hoops... parents now a days use the internet as their babysitter SMDH
@@Alex420DT children should not be on ANY social media anyways.
@@Alex420DT unless you have parental locks on everything. Goodluck! My 11 year old daughter now knows every porn position and aint no telling what else. I also noticed when i limited there time on tablet/phone they became kids again. Playing outside. Playing games. When they are on tablet or phone they are just little zombies locked in to the internet! Glad i climbed trees am3d raced barefooted on blacktop daily. 😆
effing bomme
Joe Edreira and that includes millions that support Trump and this guy
Well said .... not many people know the morals when it comes to tolerating ignorance. Always stand up for your self !
I will just stay outdated! Lol I tell my son this all the time. Don't let them pick on you. Stand up to these kids!❤❤❤ love your advice Adam!
“Win or lose when it’s time to Go you Go “ old school is still the best school.. good video 👍
That was my dad's rule: "don't start a fight, just finish it." I always did.
Hell I just fought anyone I could. I was bullied. Caused me to have a lot of aggression. Not murderous aggression but just the type that made everyone know not to piss you off cause they know if they do, they might wind up with some bruises and broken bones
Amen brother! Truer words haven't been spoken for far to long!
My Dad would always tell me if you back down they will keep coming at you. Stand up and defend yourself son and I will stand behind you son. And remember one ass kickin is just like another.
Took me years to understand this. It isn’t about winning or losing. It’s about causing a problem. And that bully will not want the problem same goes for prison.
I agree with every single word u just said. Adam Calhoun for president ( after Trump lol) 🇺🇸🤘🏻🇺🇸

"If you've never got your ass beat, you haven't been in enough fights" truer words never spoken.
This video is exactly why I respect and support you in everything you do! So glad you've got such a reach through social media. THIS is what the world needs right now.
I was a big tomboy growing up. Nobody really picked on me until we got a new principal and her kid thought it was ok to make fun of me for being adopted and for my mom being dead. We were playing knock out one day and I beat him fair and square and he looks at me and says "well at least I have a mom". I immediately decided I wasn't going to take that shit from anyone and I took my basketball and chucked it in his face as hard as possible.... He sat up with blood running from his nose, and him crying "MOOOMMMMYYYYY", I transferred high schools and learned how to hold my own ground since then.
Good for you. No one needs to take shit like that.
Shoulda broke their nose an said “ at least my nose isn’t broken” 😂
@@RedBeardToyota I'm fairly sure it was broken lolol he had two black eyes a day after that lol
You're awesome 😊
TRUTH Brother!!!
...bet you didn’t know you were gonna be Preacher when you grew up!!! It’s BADASS...because the Lord works in The Craziest Ways!!!
Appreciate Ya!!
When you stand up for yourself your earning the respect of not only those who are picking on you but all the others watching.
Earning respect part is what fucks with me. Like who are they to make me earn theirs...
I'm not earning their respect I'm making them respect me!
@@deejaymissa4653 They are interchangeable. You are not asking them your making them acknowledge you.
Adam, I swear to God the same situation happened between my son and myself. There was a kid picking on my son and my son came to me and said dad does kid has been picking on me I've tried to do everything I possibly can but he continues to do it. I told him well if you have done everything you're supposed to the next time he goes to pick on you you one leash on him don't worry about what anybody else says the school or the little cop that's in the school you worry about me dad. The next day I'm at work I get a phone call the principal says your son was in a fight, and he said that you told him it was okay. And it was all caught on video. The kid came out to my son and pushed him off the lunch table, my son got up climbed over the lunch table punching and kicking this kid like a Savage. One of my most proudest days as a dad. My son is not a bully my son did the right things and stuck up for himself and after that the last four years of school was his greatest. Keep up the good work brother
Mr Calhoun,
ALL of the things you said are exactly what I was tought as a kid. Stand up, lose, stand up again, that kid will stop when he finds out you won't. And my old pop always said if someone says they never lost, they're choosing their fights too well, or haven't had enough of them. I stand by what I was tought, my knuckles hurt a little for it but I'd guess feeling like a bitch would hurt worse. On this thing you are right. Parents, let your kids stand up for themselves. They might find strength in a win they didn't expect, or respect in a loss they took with their hands up. All respect is earned, including self-respect.
I got picked on a lot in high school but it stopped when I would stand up for myself. I was quiet but a bigger kid so people backed off most of the time. Growing a backbone is the only way to be left alone
Same thing happened to my 8 y.o. daughter, i was so proud when i got that call from the school and the principal said " sounds like she( the bully) deserved it".
I always fought for myself and stood up for the kids that couldnt defend themselves.
I’m a country boy from Texas I had to deal with my share of bullying growing up won once lost once. Both times I was protecting myself. Never was I the instigator.
Point is I couldn’t agree more! I raise my 2 boys the same way Amen🙏🏻🇺🇸
Damn man, I truly respect how honest you are. I've raised my kids not to look for a fight, mind their manners, go to church on Sunday, and be grateful for what you have. But I also told them never back down from bullying. Bully's are just an a$$ waiting patiently to put in place, never knowing when that hand off reality will knock them on their a$$. Please keep being honest about the s#!? everyone on this planet goes through. There is no need for any race to be against any other. The last time I checked my calender, I didn't have slaves or any other race.
When Conor McGregor fought Floyd Mayweather in the 10th round he told the ref don't stop this fight let this man knock me out
I rmr getting picked on in elementary school everyday by a lot of my classmates. I honestly made it easy for them to pick on me because I was the cry baby, I would cry over the smallest things. One boy who lived near by and messed with me the most decided to start a physical altercation with me and I let him have it.... he left me alone, moved away, and changed schools. Everyone else also left me alone.
That's when I learned a valuable lesson to never start fights, but if you are forced into the fight, you fuckin finish it. Stand up for yourself and people wont want to mess with you.
Bro I swear I sit an finish your sentence as you talk we think so much alike. Gospel brother! PEACE!!!!!
Amen. This big mean girl used to mess with me Brenda you know who you are. Punched her in the nose and she ran off crying. She turned into a completely different person. Your welcome Brenda for making you a better person.
There's a term for these types of people. The type that never start fights, but are capable of finishing them.
The type that are vicious fighters, but choose to be compassionate lovers at the same time.
The type that are kind, calm, restrained men of resolve, but are capable of great violence.
They are called Warrior Poets.
John would like that.
They are called.... Men
@@MrMattydavee I was thinking that same thing lol🤘
Keep living your own stupid little world
@@rudystraight1750 your world is clearly dog shit.
Tell the truth big dog..
I have always hated that word bully. Like you said stand up to yourself and fight back. I love what you say. Keep it up homie!!!
Truth. I never started a fight in school, but finished many. Principle saying, "you need to come to me if another student... blah, blah, blah." Meanwhile, my old man said just like you "defend yourself"
Him ending that great advice with, "bye franns" is priceless
