I've heard some positive things about this so I thought I'd share it.

Growing a thick skin is one of the best things you can do to avoid bullies. Verbal taunting is their most often used tactic to get a rise out of the intended target. If you can, simply ignore them. If you cannot ignore them entirely, remain calm, do not get angry, do not yell, do not raise your voice. That will only lead to further bullying. The less reaction a bully gets out of you, the less motivation for the bully to pick on you.

I got picked on a bit in high school for being a "metal head" and having long hair in a predominantly shaved headed rap oriented school (Los Angeles what else is there lol). I found an easy way to make to certain few people stop. I went up to them in the middle of lunch and beat the living @#% outta two of them. Needless to say I had to deal with a few of their friend in the upcoming days but they were easily taken care of and after that no more problem. . Granted it could have gone the other way but I was willing to take that risk. Not advocating that everyone do this but sometimes a little good old standing up for yourself works.

Now if I had that problem with the shape I am in now I am sure it would go the other way. I have another 30lbs on me and I stopped lifting weights right after high school. Not saying I wouldn't try. I guess my violent problem solving method is my barbaric side coming out. lol. Wat can I say I love fighting.
