Many kids simply don’t want to fight. Don’t mistake the level of your confidence for theirs.

Some kids are small, some kids are scared. Some kids know more than 1 kid will jump on them if they try to fight back.

Do you have kids, or were you just picked on yourself?

It doesn't matter if they are small or scared. Kids are vicious. Do you remember being a kid lol. If you don't stand up from r yourself then you will remain afraid.

Better to take some karate and handle it.

Having your kid take karate or other self defense classes is a great idea. They will know how to handle themselves (responsibly, hopefully) in a worse case scenario. But more importantly, they will have the confidence to believe they can handle themselves, and will be able to project a “don’t fuck with me” attitude, making themselves unlikely to be bullied in the first place. Plus they can stick up for other kids being bullied!

Definitely. And martial arts teaches violence is always the last resort. Nobody wants to fight but if you have to fight it's better to know how to fight

I think it's respectable. I gringe at you, no sense of right and wrong, little self confidence, which is typical today from people, unfortunately.
