I completely agree with what Johnny Depps mother told him. She gave him permission to stand up for himself. There came a time in my young son’s life when I gave him the same advice. There was a boy on his bus that would snatch the cap off of my son’s head and throw it out of the window. When he did it a second time I gave my son permission to stick up for himself. I told him there would be a consequence because there was zero tolerance for any type of violence on the bus. The troublemaker was caught by surprise when he tried once more to grab my son’s hat. My son has had quite extensive teaching in martial arts. He was able to quickly grab the boys hand, pull him forward and deliver three quick hard blows to the side of his head. The boy retreated, crying, and needless to say did not try anything like that again. They were both suspended from riding the bus for two weeks. When I explained to the principal of his school what had happened she told me to not tell anyone she said this, but that I had told my son to do was, in this case, the right thing but that also there was a consequence and I was ok with that.
