Hmm, I guess it is time for another Columbine massacre then...
I didn't mean to say I wouldn't expect my kids to stand up for themselves. I want them to do that, and will give them the means too (martial arts or something). I just don't want my potential kids to go through what I went through just because nobody cares. I care, and that's enough.
I just wonder why kids need to be taught how to fight in order to take care of themselves. Isn't this the 21st century, the age of reason and modern thinking? You know, the time where we can solve problems by discussion and cooperation instead of brute force?
