yes, but when you help run the playground, you hold the cards. They can laugh but you've got the bigger stick.

But I grew up.....

Hopefully everyone else did too !

not in high school
you learn the ropes
the only way you have the bigger stick
is to be bigger
and understand who and what you are
and who you are dealing with
just like david and goliath
one does not need a bigger stick
just a bigger mind

True if you are dealing with logical people with moral conscience.

But once in a rare while you might run up against someone lacking both.

And then a bigger physical talent might mean the difference.

As Teddy Roosevelt said so well, "Speak softly, but carry a big stick!"

Or as other men have observed, "Never seek violence, but also not shirk from moral responsibilty to confront it should you find it."

Cheers,

Nice thought. Were that it was so.

Thanks, Chacha. One day the strong won't victimize the weak just
because they can or otherwise get their jollies from creating disturbances.

there i dissagree
i was bullied a lot
in high school
you know how i won
by not fighting back
there is nothing more frustrating to a bully
than someone saying im not fighting back
just hit me is that satisfaction
no a bully wants to conquer and if you do not fight
he cannot he can knock you down but he does not win
take that from a lot of bloody noses
fighting a brick wall does not give a lot of satisfaction
i did get my own back
my school was a boys only school
and i got together with the girls school across the street
and had lunchtime dances
charged 6 pence to get in
bought 2 school busses and was a hero
never got bullied after that
still a wimp but a little smarter
LOL

meh, i got got bullied more than you could possibly imagine. till i hit my teen years.

then i turned it around and became every bullies nightmare. i sought them out and harrassed them endlessly. i made them pay. and pay. and pay some more.

Hehe, I was the last kid picked for sports teams but I never got bullied or antagonized. In HS I was very good at English, Latin and Biology so I made a lot of friends among the jocks and other "cool kids" who had trouble with those subjects.

Been there, done that, got over it.

Got seriously teased and partially mobbed from the 7th to 10th grade. At first I wanted to fight it (including my first and only time I punched someone), but later on I just started to employ a "So what?" and "I don't care what others say" attitude and it worked out nicely. It even helped me so much that I got quite popular when school was over (offensive friendliness instead of defensive shyness). There were not many others who could at least small-talk with *everyone* else in my year.
Oh, grade 12 and 13 were *so* awesome!

Thanks for the confidence building talks, dad! Ya saved my life back then. :salute:



P.S: I never had the desire for payback. Being better than them was more than enough. Because if you look closely, bullies just hide their own insecurities by picking on others.
