The teachers let it happen, because this is how 13 and 14 year boys behave before they become men.

Part and parcel of becoming men.

I had a bully on the bus that I finally got tired of and elbow punched hard to the solar plexus.

When he could breath again, he asked why I did that.

I 'splained.

He never bothered me again.

Turned out later that his old man was a drunk that beat his kids and wife.

Gotta feel a little bit sorry for the bullies when you thrash them into behaving like men.

I had the same impression about that the kid that attacked me had a drunk of a father and received a carton cigarettes for a Christmas gift. Someone has to break the cycle, and I really think government isn't capable of doing it.

Well you really cannot “beat them into behaving like men” although you may be able to open a helpful discussion once you’ve made it plain you will not be overcome by their guff. Helpful means with God in the middle of it.
