To reiterate, the kid is not exhibiting the values of the dojo. He has not learned respect or restraint. So, he's no different from a kid who doesn't go to the dojo.

Except as ita notes, the dojo itself can exert some pressure on him.

I thought you were going to link to his nipples.

Huh. A dude in a suit smoking a cigarette and reading a book is more of a hello, nurse! for me, really.

One more post and then I'm stepping away.

CJ is not happy. CJ feels as if no matter who he talks to, J's behavior will not change.

A skinned knee caused by a fall, not a huge deal. A skinned knee caused by another kid pushing him to the ground is different.

Being stabbed, in class, by a pencil and then showing J it caused a puncture wound with bleeding and being laughed at is not cool. The teacher was occupied with other students and was not aware of what was happening between the boys.

CJ is going to talk with the teacher tomorrow and then I will send an e-mail to follow up.

The dojo is still an issue, especially if he is just being "any asshole". J has been called on his lack of control at school before. By his parents and by the senseis. Once either/both of them found out about recent events, the teachings within the dojo will certainly be part of the discussion.

And with that, good night.

I just don't think bleeding is that big a deal. You wouldn't flip out about a skinned knee and that's pretty common and involves more blood.

I think it's hugely situational.

*I've* hurt myself in ways I can shrug off. If another person did that? It would be a big problem.

It's not just the extent of injury, though I am pretty sure that drawing blood in clearly premeditated ways is bad, it's all of the issues behind it and the possibility of where it could escalate.

edit: I hit post before I saw Suzi's post about ending the conversation. I won't press the conversation forward.

Huh.

Those are some good pictures.

I'm sure my preference for well-dressed, bookish men with terribly distracting mouths is a shocker.

I dunno, Hardy going around flashing his nipples like that is just, well, shameless. I can't not ogle.

CJ is not happy. CJ feels as if no matter who he talks to, J's behavior will not change.

That seems the most relevant point.

Okay, Criminal Minds just tried to outgross the pig story.

It failed, but it tried.

(eta: At least for me. YPigMV)

I had a Santa Sangre moment there at the end. Or, I guess, Psycho.

Love Teabag. It's never just normal with him.
