What kind of "bullies"...


were these? Good lord. They looked the size I was in 6th grade. Neither of those idiots had any intimidating size whatsoever. They prayed on the weak of course. That's what bullies do until they think they are screwing with a weakling and that somebody turns out to be a Chuck Norris type. That would end their bullying careers instantly and with extreme prejudice. Justice would be served.

It's just like you said. Bullies seek out the weaker. Plus, it was almost always more than one of them against one. Another favorite tactic of bullies.

Often when martial arts movies are filmed people are chosen who are BOTH good actors AND skilled martial artists.

If I was both a good actor AND a skilled martial artists I came up with the PERFECT hobby. Bully's read body language and they can easily detect low self esteem or low self confidence or fear or timidity.

I would go places where I knew there were predatory bullies and wear baggy clothes to hide my physique and show all the signs of the body language of being a wimp then as soon as the bullies tried to mess with me I would beat the tar out of them. That would be fun as hell.

This was a high school, not junior high school. And remember, bullies do prey on people who are weaker and smaller than them.
