I remember my first fight. I was in the 4th grade and I was average size. There was a bully much larger than most of us who would choose someone from time to time to pick on. Well one day he decided to start in on me. For 2 days I cowered away and took it as best as I could but it was tearing me up inside. On the third day he started pushing me around and something snapped inside me. I started punching him over and over and was completely out of control, it took several kids to finally pull us apart. I was hurt a lot more than him, but he never messed with me again. That was when I learned that even if they can beat you, it is no fun for bullies if you fight back. Fighting is not what they are interested in.
