I was physically beaten in school from grade 6 to grade 11 on a regular basis. At one point, I was knocked out unconscious and left on the streets. I never fought back.
This kept on going for more than 5 years. One day, I got so sick and tired of it that I decided in my mind that the next person that physically bullies me will get hit back.
Few days later, I was in the gym class standing in line (no teachers were around). Someone slapped the back of my head. I turned around and there were three guys laughing. I didn't care which one of them hit me. I picked one of them and punched his face all my anger. Pretty soon, the three of them jumped me. I fought with everything that I had. However, eventually, they got me down to the ground.
My physical pain that day was temporary, but the fact that I stood up for myself still gives me hapiness 14 years later. After that, I was never physically bullied again, not even by kids who didn't know about the fight. I don't know what happened, but maybe I started walking around more confidently.
Time to time, the verbal bullying continued. However, it was different this time because I would look them straight in the eye like I was not effected. This sometimes would make the bully more mad or scare them away. No two bullies are the same. It didn't matter to me whether I made any bully mad because I was no longer willing to be intimidated and ready to fight at any given time.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't like fighting and I am not an angry guy looking to start any. However, given my past, I wouldn't be scared to.
