Re: Bringing up boys
As a child we were taught to walk away when confronted. Even later on in Tae Kwan Do, I was taught defensive measures are always the best ones, and walking or running away are always options.
Today, I am something of a recovering pacifist.
I do think kids should realize the idea of "finishing a fight" that someone else started only works if you are bigger, better trained or heavier armed. I would not teach kids that walking away is always cowardly. Sometimes it's smart - whether in your best interest or to protect a fool from himself.
