I found out at a young age that nothing stops a bully faster than a bloody nose and a fat lip. They were always wide open for it because they thought I was some little wimp who wouldn't fight back. They were wrong.  I had enough abuse from my elder brother that no bully could ever rival. At least until I busted him in the mouth.  By that time I could recognize the bully and his verbal cues and pre-empt the attack with a well placed shot in the snoz. If the guy was bigger, weapons weren't far away. The random lunchroom chair, a T-square or whatever else was close at hand.
All of these anti-bullying campaigns going on today make me want to puke every time I see one of them.
Want to beat a bully without scraping your knuckles? Don't show fear. That's what they really want.

The thing is now, bullies have figured out that the solution to that is when the kid stands up for themself, that they can run and go tell on the kid for punching them and the bully gets off while the kid is punished.
That actually happened to me. It pissed me off to no end. I'm still pretty peeved sometimes. The idiot who ruined my childhood never learned his lesson because I always got the short end of the stick. I was always told to stand up for myself and I would never be in trouble at home if I beat up a bully but the school thought otherwise.
Thankfully, it was before all the anti-bullying stuff took off and they only kept me inside during recess for a whole day.
