What the hell? This is meant for that sick guy who thought of hitting you as a joke. Bullying is not a joke at all and when someone starts to physically abuse you, it crosses the boundary of bullying even and becomes a serious issue. This is not acceptable at all and you are so brave for going through all of that. I do believe you need to stand up to your bullies but yes it is difficult when there is more than one of them. But self-defense is really important. I want to train my son kick boxing and other means of self-defense so he can kick some ass if he has to.
