And sometimes you just have to defend yourself.

This comment was by Fred in reference to the post – The Politics of Bullying
People who say violence isn’t the answer has never been bullied; bullies pick on who they perceive to be an easy target and showing that you aren’t is the only thing to stop them; telling a teacher never really works unless the bully has done something severe enough to warrant a suspension or expulsion.I must also state that I don’t advocate physical violence towards someone who’s only calling you names, but once the bully lays hands on you, he (or she) has crossed the line for you and you are free to defend yourself.
