If you can't walk away go stark raving, snot out of the nose, foaming at the mouth crazy on them.

Bingo. You don't start a fight. But if a confrontation is unavoidable hold nothing back, there is no prize for second place in a street fight.

The thing I blame the mother for is advertising this. You keep your mouth shut about what you can do. The best chance you have against a bully is to catch them by surprise. "Know your enemy, know yourself and you will fight a hundred battles and never loose. - Sun Tzu". You want to keep the enemy ignorant of your strengths until it is too late for them to do anything about it. In other words, don't brag, just do. With luck and skill the bully finds himself laying on the ground looking at the sky through swollen eyes and wondering what just happened. While you walk quietly away.

My step-son had a bully attacking him for years. He asked me what to do, I advised him to 'Pick his Battles Wisely'. He waited till the last day of school one year and when the bully came over he beat the snot out of him.

He was taken to the school office and the administrator, who told him not to do any violence again, that he was surprised at him (having be a quiet boy for years). Yet there was no punishment, for it was well know that the bully had been at it with many other kids.

The Bully never came back, because he could never figure out when my stepson would explode again. My stepson has since graduated from Valley Forge Military college (yes, that Valley Forge) and is now a Staff Sargent in the Airforce.

Yes, he learned to choose his battles wisely.
