I never got over 100lbs while in hs, so I could have been a target for bullying. I got real into wrestling and power lifting my freshman year but was a nerd as well in advanced classes. Only had one big guy try to mess with me my sophomore year. I shot in on him and swept his legs, picked him up and slammed him then got him in a choke hold until he gave up. After that no one ever bothered me again. He was about 5'8' 180lbs, and I was barely 5' and wrestled at 98lbs even though I only weighed 88lbs. My hs was ghetto and not many had nice rides, but if you didn't get respect. Figure on getting your a$$ whooped a few times. Getting respect and being conceited were two different things. Be careful with whatever you do, because you kids these days go postal way to easy.
Agreed. ...on the postal thing. Here's some advice. Go learn Judo. Purely defensive, so even if you wanted to, it would be a stupid attempt to attack someone, as much as you would be tempted to. Teaches you self discipline.
