    I just watched the internet short “Piggy” (it’s on YouTube) which made my blood boil but it has a nice ending. It’s just a revenge fantasy film, but it shows quite nicely how insanely cruel some kids can be, especially once they get into a little group / troupe, and become the “leader” of sorts.

    For those being bullied: take martial arts classes. Kyokushin karate, for example, is full contact focussed on actual fighting. Once it came out that I did, people backed off without me doing anything. Within a year it improved my self confidence to such a degree that I was no longer scared and I was never bullied again. I want from being on the cusp of ending it to actually defending other bullied kids.

    If you ever have to face a group of bullies like that, go for the leader. The rest of the group just hangs around and once the leader lies bleeding on the ground, the rest will run.

    Whatever you do, do not fear them. Fuck them.

      Moreover, don’t just go to win the fight. Win them all.. Nobody fucked with me after I put the guy that bullied me through a glass door.

      Overwhelming force is sometimes the best option. Know when to back off, but fear is an excellent motivator to not fuck with someone.

        You typically only need to win the one. Groups are always one or two leaders, the rest just hangs around them.
