Fighting Back
I started fighting lessons, and then the next time he tried to mess with me I defended myself. He didn’t bother me after that.
I did get into trouble at school, but when they contacted my father to inform him of my fighting at school, he simply said, “I’m sure. I paid for the lessons. Was it the same kid who’s been bullying him?” My dad was more proud than anything, and thankfully I did not get into trouble with him.
