It's Anon's parents fault for not teaching him how to deal with bullies.
~~You should talk to them and explain that what they are doing hurts your feelings!~~
Yeah no, fuck up the next guy who calls you ass-worm, bite and scratch if you can't knock them down, make sure they remember that fucking with you bears consequences. Push a stick to their asses while you scream "ass-worm, huh?!"

Yup. Took my kids to an anti-bullying session at the local karate school, and while their presentation was a bit more mild, it had the same impact. Basically:

fists up and be loud
block any attacks and push them back while also being loud
(implied) if they don't stop, let 'em have it (they taught some kicks)

This applies as well if you see someone else getting bullied. The main goal here is to scare the crap out of them so they leave you alone.

Knocking him down won the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones, too, right then, so they'd leave me alone.

Hit the gym until they no longer dare to bully you

[–] Damage@feddit.it 2 points 1 month ago

The gym never hurt me, idk why you want me to hit it

Where I'm from originally, it's perfectly fine to hit someone for bullying you. Nine times out of ten the bully is weak him/herself and cowers if you "return in kind" of how they treat you. I don't know why many Westerners are reluctant to hit a bully. But my guess is that the fear of litigation is the bigger fear.

Because were taught that violence is wrong and that we should talk through everything, not "stoop to their level". Incidentally that also allows the elite to stay in power without getting guillotined.
