Wanna know why bullies do this? Because you let them. I had bullies who beat me up all through elementary and middle school. I was a shy, loving kid that didn't believe in violence. Needless to say I was an easy target for bullies. But I got tired of being their punching bag so I started lifting weights and joined MMA classes. So one hot middle school day the guy and his groupies who have bullied me since elementary decided it would be funny to spit on me, and take my lunch and dump it on my head. So I thought it would be funny to kick him in the face breaking his nose, smash out half the teeth in his mouth, and break some of his ribs. He started crying like a bitch and his groupies ran for their moms. "Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter" I guess. Needless to say none of them ever bothered be again. How much fun will bullies have picking on you if they know you'll just beat the shit out of them? Not much.
