Hit or Tell? Vote Please?

Question

My little brother is having a problem with a boy who keeps slapping him in the face.

Should he hit back or tell?

Answer 1

He needs to tell. many schoold have a zero tolerance policy about fightling and bullying, so if he hits back he could get into just as much trouble.

Answer 2

tell

Answer 3

If he hits the consequences are the bully will stop slapping him and he will have detention.

If he tells the consequence is more hitting.  

I say peace through strength.  Talk to an adult and ask for protection.  Then, if your brother can not avoid the bully, have witnesses to corroborate.  HE SHOULD NEVER BE ALONE. Ask bully to back off, then take an aggressive stance if he doesn't back off which might include hitting.  The bully may back down and go away.  Your brother must willingly take the consequences respectfully.

Answer 4

Hit and keep hitting until the jerk stops

Answer 5

tell. If it doesnt get solved, hit back, so at least he can be like "But i did tell and nobody did anything!".
