Posted by Mark on April 12, 2004, 8:22 pm Suddenly I went from bullied to bully basher. I no longer had a physical appearance that others could easily taunt. Every time someone else was made fun of though I was their with words or if needed fists. Physical violence is not what I'm trying to advocate but self-defense for you and others is not violence. My suggestion is get active, join a gym, take self defense classes. Focus on the future. I know how incredibly scary being bullied can be. Learn to pick and choose your battles. Realize that by standing up, even if no one acknowledges you vocally, you will be respected. Give it time and you will give others hope and courage. I feel lucky. When I got in over my head a lot of kids showed up to back me up. I can't garauntee that for everyone but have courage and know that you are better than them. It will show. Give it time. When you see these losers in the future you'll be surprised how justice works. They'll either have dug themself into a ditch or gotten over their own insecurities and become a friend. Stand Strong, Stand Tall, Stand for what is Right

I was a fat nerdy kid. I got picked on in grade school and when I got to Junior High it just got worse. There were gangs and weapons. I moved and went to a school with plenty of bullies but no weapons. The realization after fearing for my life that now the worst that could happen would be taunts and fists I had a change in confidence. I also began lifting weights and exercising.
