Success Happy

If I Teach My Child to Bully at School, Will it Make Him More Successful in Life?

I want my son to be successful when he leaves school. I want him to be able to attract a woman and live happily. I think most people and most women especially would measure success and attractiveness by looking at power and money. If I teach my child to bully in the schoolyard, will this develop good skills in him that are transferable to life outside of school?

1. Duh! You should go back to school! (and experience a bully) Where did you get that convoluted idea. If you teach wrong things you are going to reap wrong things. And who likes a bully in any case? Rethink Bro. Peace.
2. You are starting your child of to a life of crime if you teach him to bully. Teach him how to walk away safely from trouble or teach him how to talk about problems in his life. This is how he will gain skills and do proper towards his careers.
3. No! If he bullies, he'll get into a lot of trouble! Reputation on being friendly is more better than being a bully. When I was a bully, everyone hated me, I got into detentions a lot. Now that I'm not a bully I'm doing a lot better, in fact, I had half the school vote on me, I have a wonderful reputation, teach him to be nice not to bully! And by the way, bullying will NOT make him successful, and he'll probably get a bad woman as well. You may teach him what to do when he gets bullied, but certainly don't teach him to bully
4. Empower your child with knowledge not the ability to be a bully in the schoolyard. What in the world are you thinking? In case you aren't aware that's a good way to have your child sent to a youth detention facility. Knowledge is power..teach your child to read well, encourage good study habits and above all let your child know that the way he or she treats people in life often times makes people want them around.
5. Unfornately you haven't seen the news about kids that have killed their bullies or gone crazy and did crazy things like buying a rifle and shooting people because they were tired of being bullid at school. \bullying only leads to violence, resentment, anger, and hurt feelings... i heard of families that have killed other family members for bullying their child....because the bulied child could be someone daughter or son.....you might scar that child for life.....bulllying also leads to psychological disorders as teen counsellour i met alot of kids that have anxiety disorders that have been bullied.......so bullying is wrong and it shouldn't be promoted because of the psychololgical aftermath of bullying........
6. So, your telling me that you would WANT to make your child cause unnececcary suffering to other children so he does better? You are willing to risk the mental saftey of other children so your child gets a women? I find this vile and offensive. Bullies will be the first ones up against the wall when the revoulution comes.
7. no thats horrible!
8. All you'll teach him is how to be a bully ! Believe it or not nice women and companies etc. normally are not attracted to bullies. By all means teach him to be confident and assertive.
9. I agree that teaching your child to be a bully will prepare him for a succesful life - IN PRISON! Teach your child to respect others and to treat them as he wants to be treated. Teach your child to befriend the weak and less fortunate. Teach your child to respect his teachers and to study, study, study. I sincerely hope this "question" was meant as a joke. If it wasn't, I feel sorry for your child and for you.
10. You are confusing encouraging competitive spirit with bullying. Any parent wants to provide the best tools/skills for their child to help them success in life, but by teaching bullying, you are condoning violence, emotional manipulation and promoting obedience through fear - none of which work in the long term. Good transferable skills to to ensure he sets a good example of having it all: brains through excelling academically, athletic prowess through HEALTHY competitive spirit, and respect for his fellow peer. The latter includes effectively holding his ground in the face of aggression without stooping to that level, and even helping those that may be weaker - those are the roots of power and transformational leadership.
11. No. People wld hate him. He'll have far more enemies than friends. Let him live his life normally, learn how to say no firmly, be strong and not break down in front of people. Not hang out too much especially with drunkards and sill girls. He'll get money, power respect.
12. Would you consider it a success if your son spent his whole parenting career teaching his kid how to not be a bully? besides, the bull always loses, there's a sword behind that pretty red cape
13. maybe. he'll become the great leader you'll be the next Hitler raiser. congratulations!
14. That is an excellent way to ensure he always has food and shelter. Prisons are good like that. Think about it: you are teaching him force or violence = reward. And you are making him strongly disliked, and preventing him from learning to social skills necassary for porductive human interaction in the real world. He will also lack independance (bullies rely on the actions of others. When people in the real world refuse to be bullied by him, he may not have developed alternative skills). Don't be silly. I suspect you are trolling, but there are people misguided enough to seriously consider this.
15. Send him Karate and martial arts classes. Your son needs to feel confident amongst men. Bullies are cowards and resort to their methods because they lack confidence and respect. They dominate people through fear and intimidation. Women don't like bullies and nor do employers. Bullies mostly land up on the wrong side of the law and don't have success in the real world. Teach him respect for his belongings, his home, himself and others.
16. NO WAY! thats horrible! it will not attract a women AT ALL! girls will actually get scared of him and no one will ever like him! trust me. Everyone in my school HATES bullies. Why would you want to bully anyone. You can tell him to defend him self when he is in trouble and work-out so he can be strong, but dont tell him to bully other kids. so unpoilte! No women would ever go out w/a school bully. That insane. He will NOT be cool @ school instead people will actually be hating him. Bullies are bullies not cool! so not cool. He will also get in trouble at school and get detentions. How would you feel if your son was being bullied everyday at school by someone. And that bully just wanted to show his attractivness! p.s......... I agree with the person above you are just teaching him to be violent and not have a social life. When he's older he'll be used to the bullying he does and end up in jail. Teach him respect and to defend himself NOT BULLY! hope I helped! =]
17. You can't teach your child to be a bully, unfortunately. It's an innate gift. If he has it in him, the best you can do is set him an example. If you're lucky, he'll soon be bashing up his class mates and taking their lunch money.
18. Take it from someone who use to be a bully and now regrets it. Your son will regret bullying and so will you. My friends and I tormented a guy in high school, and years later, as adults, we now see the results of the damage we inflicted on him. I tried to seek his forgiveness when I happened to see him in a mall last year, but he told me, with pure hatred, to go to hell. Trust me bullying causes damage to the victim that could last a lifetime, and your son will regret being the one that caused it. Don't do it.
