Dealing with bullies?
My niece is apparently being bullied at school. A group of girls constantly make fun of her, push her, and do other stupid things. My sister thinks the solution is to enroll my niece in Karate classes so she can learn to defend herself. I just don't think this is the answer. I feel like they're teaching her that violence is the answer to her problems. I told my sister that I thought she should be having meetings with teachers, parents, and other staff and try to find a solution. She thinks I'm not supporting my niece and is now mad at me.
Is Karate the answer to being bullied or would you try another alternative?
