I wonder what makes some people more resilient than others?

Well in my case my Irish temper saved me. Four or five months into the school year of relentless teasing and bullying, we were in the classroom for lunch on a rainy day and a couple of them started pushing me. My fingers got pinched between two desks and I just unloaded on the guy. Teacher separated us. Bully told me to meet him after school. That was when I discovered he didn't know how to fight, so I proceeded to beat the crap out of him until my mother arrived and pulled me off him.

I got a whole lot of respect from everyone after that. Learned an important life lesson too.

I actually was terrorized by a group of girls when I was in middle school way back when. I was afraid (hey, I was a girl, I didn’t fight, and these girls came from mean backgrounds and were like a pack!) Anyway, one day I had enough, I agreed to meet and fight it out, and while I got the soup beaten out of me, that was the end. I guess they figured it wasn’t that much fun if the target would fight back.
