My parents told me to fight back against bullies. I did get in a couple fights in middle school, because things escalated. I'm a terrible fighter and I was small until I hit puberty, but my basic strategy was to keep kicking back until the other girl stopped. After the fights, they stopped picking on me so much.

But I did stop telling my parents, because they didn't do anything. And I think your response above falls in that same category.

With my own kids, I'm a fierce defender and I have no problem calling talking to the teacher or even the principal and I've even talked to the child's parents.

OTOH I think sometimes my kids don't tell me things, because they don't want Mama Bear getting all riled up.
