What kind of example is that setting??????

IKR!!

that is when you get an adult.

you must learn how to solve your own problems but adults must also be vigilant

that is what elders are for

they are not their to solve all your problems but they are there when you need help

there*

Tbh I thought they did a bad job of settling my situation. It set me up to continually seek outside help to solve my issues as a kid and I only figured out how to be more self reliant when I changed school later down the line and had better teachers

Ah well

You play any vidya gaems? I know there are fans of rededemption here

Oh, Dying light, DMC franchise, Resident Evil Franchise, Fatal frame franchise (they need to do remakes of that one. So good.) A lot of horror and fantasy.

I am a prolific gamer

yeah those were bad teachers.

I was told to fight back as a kid

Not really easy to do though when your bully is a boy and is four years older than you

In short, I was taught to fight back and outmaneuver them. Basically outsmart them. I took down a guy 3 times my size and 3 years older than me. I'm 4'11 now- so then I was 4 or under that and weighed nothing. This boy called my fried a stupid n****r with malicious intent. He was standing right in front of his bike. I knew if I rushed him, I could use his weight and size against him. My dad had taught me how to punch right. He did exactly as I predicted. I rushed him, make him trip over his bike, landing on his back. His legs got tangled in the bike and he was helpless. I gave him two black eyes and a fat lip.

I'm 4"11 too

Ok cool u ur cringe asf

I grew up poor so I had to learn to fight back

I got picked on a lot so I had to learn how to fight back, I understand

Just because someone calls your friend a name doesnt warrant attacking them spas

it depends on the name

No

I didn't like bullies

Youre a bully
