A bully tried to take me on when I was a freshman in High School. I
figured I was going to get beaten to a pulp as I was no fighter, but I
wouldn't let him just victimize me. So we went out to the train
station to duke it out. I took off my jacket and glasses. He came at
me like a windmill and struck my head with his wrist. He didn't count
on my thick skull and broke his wrist on it.
I remember pulling on my jacket, suggesting he have it looked at over
in the campus infirmary, and didn't miss my train home. Didn't even
have a bruise. He was in a cast from elbow to hand for six weeks.
No one ever tried to bully me in High School again. I was now one of
the badasses. ]'-)
I was bullied up until Junior High School when someone tried to steal my
desert in the lunch room and I stabbed him with a fork.
