This guy is either the most milquetoast of men or he’s watching too much Glee on Fox. Bullies were “dealt with” in my high school, esp. when they decide to pick on a member of a sports team.
Modern-day bullying happens online.
When I was in high school, I was not the kind of kid a bully would pick out to try his stuff. However; one did decide that he was going to try. Out of nowhere, he came up to me and punched me in the arm as hard as he could (and it hurt) and said, “What’s with you?”. I put him in a head lock, flipped him over my back and into a muddy ditch. As he lay there in the mud flat on his back he said, “Why’d you do that?”. I said “You know why.” and walked away.
No problem after that.
