I don't know what he should've done. Like everybody else here, i don't really know all of the details. What i do know, is that stabbing people in the face with pencils is not the kind of behavior that should be encouraged in children, bully or not. Do you think that children should be encouraged to stab eachother in the faces with pencils? If your child ever falls victim to a bully are you going to hand him/her a pencil and tell them to "make you proud"? Do you trust children to know when a pencil shiv in the face is the right course of action? How is a child to know whether to stab in the face or the throat? What if he had stabbed this other kid in the throat, hit the jugular, and killed him? Would he still be your hero? Would the bully still deserve it and if so, could you tell the dead bully's parents that their child deserved to die?
