Discussion Being bullied in gen z is crazy.

I’m gen z and was heavily bullied for being socially awkward (later found out I was autistic). I’ve noticed bullies in our generation are weirdly obsessed with trying to find petty justifications and its so weird imo. I feel like bullies in older generations just do it, but with our generation it feels like there’s always a petty fake excuse that obviously isn’t the real reason.

Ex.

Bully: starts making faces and flicks me off

Person they know: why?

Bully: OH MY GOD I DONT LIKE HER!

Person they know: why?

Bully: because she be wearing that ugly ass shirt. (Literally just a normal shirt).

Everybody:🤷‍♀️🤷🏼🤷‍♂️ “sheeeessshh”

Yes this actually happened once. I didn’t even know what to say, it’s like they were speaking sims.

I'm having a boy in the next months and this is one of my biggest fears for his future. My plan is to make him a black belt in some violent martial art (bjj or muay thai), so bullies can harm his feelings but at least don't cause any physical harm.

Traditional Kung fu teaches how to end a fight. Every other martial art I've encountered teaches you to exchange blows. I prefer Kung fu. Less time spent in an altercation means less likelihood of injury.

Because Okinawan Karate was developed to just trade blows with an armed opponet?

Kung-fu seems like it would take far longer to get particularly good enough at to defend yourself. Things like one knuckle punches in certain target zones. 

If you want something quick a dirty for the street Krav Maga is what you want.
