I said earlier that I'm not saying he's a hero because he stabbed the bully. I said he was a hero because he stood up for himself. I personally would have pushed the bully back or hit him (if that's what he was doing to the kid).
Having a smart mouth and making himself sympathetic would make things worse. Kids that get picked on are usually sympathetic already. That's half the reason that the bullies choose that kid. I don't see how making nice-nice with a bully can solve anything either. The bully doesn't deserve a friendship after what he did. No one wants to be friends with a jackass!
It's evident that people simply have differing views on violence. I think violence is fine in self defense. He probably shouldn't have stabbed with a pencil, but I think other means of self defense are in order.
