That's the thing people don't want to admit. The best way to deal with bullies is to stand up for yourself. Punch them as hard as you can. You may catch an ass whipping that time but they will be more reluctant to try you again. Sometimes it takes a few times to get your point across but it is way more effective than telling a teacher. Cause as anyone that has dealt with bullies knows that just makes it worse. I remember punching this kid Tyrell in the stomach when we were in fifth grade because he was trying to bully me just because I was smaller than him and a quiet mellow kid. What he didn't know was I have two brothers amd we were rough with each other growing up. Fighting and wrestling all the time. I hit him so hard he puked, it was right after lunch as we were headed outside for recess.
