I miss bullies, and that is coming from someone that was frequently a target. They drove change, personal growth, and martial arts dojos on every corner. Now? We have a generation of soft unchallenged pussies that hurt themselves and others at the first sign of adversity.
I was a mere 135 pounds as a sophomore in HS, but wasn't coddled by my dad. Had two druggies confront me during school, one on each side. Scared the **** out of me, but I decided that I best get active and hope it works. Backfisted the guy to my right as hard as I could. Broke both front teeth in half. The assholes never approached me again, and I felt empowered as hell. Today, even at my age, I'll fight back no matter how I might end up. Feels good. Real good. Gimmy some. Oooo-rah!
Yes, I've taught my daughters to defend themselves as well. No matter who they are dealing with.
