The right way to stop a bully

Unfortunately, a lot of time it's the big kid picking on the little kid. Not as easy to fight back, then.

I don't see that so much ...now or then. I see/saw fat kids being picked on. And they don't usually fight back -for a plethora of reasons. It's the little smart guys who feel they have something to prove. I eventually "karate-kicked" my bully in the stomach and bruised her badly. I avoided suspension because I had a broken arm at the time and pointed out that there's no way someone my size with an arm in a plaster cast and sling could have done that. Sometimes being flexible and a fat, bullied nerd works in your favor

In my experience, it's usually the weedy little kids that do the bullying. Small man syndrome or whatever you want to call it, but they just seem like they're over compensating for their lack of height.

Of course, there are some big boys that like to do a bit of bullying too, and their come-uppance usually doesn't happen till the other kids catch up.

It wont happen over night, but it will happen.
