It certainly worked with Scut Farkus.
I was bullied by a guy in Junior High until I had had quite enough. While we were running to gym, and he was poking me in the back, I whirled around, gave him a right uppercut to the jaw that sent him flying.
He never bothered me again.
Works like a charm!

Yep... same here. I got bullied and picked on up through the seventh grade when I’d finally had enough and responded to a bully by bloodying his face pretty good. Nobody ever bothered me again. That was the last fight I have been in.
When I reached the boiling point after being bullied and picked on by an upperclassman (I was in 7th grade) I did go to the principal's office. However, I did not whine and complain. I simply stated what was going on and if something wasn't done, the next time, I was going to unload on the bully and clean his clock but good. I let a little rage slip across my face while saying this.
The principal nodded, thanked me for the warning and asked if I would then please get to my next class.
Never had a problem again...until high school when the kid decided to start in on me again. Then I did unload with no warning.
That was 35 years ago. I doubt it would work today.
