How to handle a bully
Parents: If your child is too young to read this, you might want to read it to him.
One thing to be learned at as early an age as possible is that all people are not nice. Some are real animals. This is sad, but true. Some people are abused severely as children, and thus grow up abusing others all their lives. They don't see anything wrong with this, because they are not concerned with right and wrong. It never enters their heads. So, they can beat you up, take your lunch money, steal your bike, take your coat, or a hundred other things and never feel a thing. They never feel sorry for anything. They are, in fact, less than human.
For that reason, the tactics outlined here should not be viewed with disdain either by the victim nor the parent. Some parents teach their children never to fight back. This is stupid. Because there will always come a time when the child has to fight back. Else be killed. This is a situation in which a woman gives advice to a male, in which case it is totally wrong because she is projecting herself, a female, into the child, a male. It cannot be done. It, the advice, may work for her because she is a female. She can usually get away "by never fighting back," because she is a female. All she has to do is tune up and start bawling and the attacker (usually a male) will back off, and leave her alone. But even this is not always true because there always comes a time when a male is not moved by a woman's tears, and he will beat her, rape her, kill her and laugh at her while he is doing it. As we said before, everyone in the world is not nice. And women should not project themselves into male children. For this reason, women should think twice before becoming single parents. You may think you are doing a great job of being both a father and a mother, but you're not. No female can be a male. Of course we are aware that some females almost make it. But they never quite cross the road. The only out for them is to give birth to nothing but females. If they can swing this. So for the kid that wants to protect himself against bullies, here's how:
1. Get in the first punch. Never wait for him to throw the first punch. This is true if you know he's a bully, if you suspect he's a bully, or even if he intimidates (scares) you, and you think he is going to do you harm. Don't wait until you are sure. Act first, think later.
2. When the attacker gets close enough, punch him in the gut just as hard as you can. Don't telegraph your punch, i.e., don't let him know the punch is coming. But most of all, don't feel sorry for him, because you can bet he won't feel sorry for you.
3. The gut punch will make him double over. When he does, raise your knee just as hard as you can. This will get his attention.
4.Next, the knee punch may make him straighten up again. In this case, punch him in the gut again. Just as hard as you can.
5. This will cause him to bend over again. When he does, slap him on the ears (both ears) with both hands, at the same time, just as hard as you can. By now he should be unconscious, or nearly so and you can go ahead and beat the crap out of him. At this point, you can take your mother's advice and pray for him if you want. He may need it. Let's hope so!
Addendum.
You must not believe this is a game. It is not. You must consider this a fight to the death, because it may well be. If you are not careful, it may be your death. To make sure it is not your death, practice your gut punch. Get yourself a punching bag, or something soft that won't hurt your hands and practice the gut punch at least two hours per day. Wear gloves so it won't skin up your hands. Use both hands, because you may never know when your right hand will be out of use or tied up. Be able to throw a punch with either hand. Practice your knee-lift. Do this long enough and soon you will be able to take out an adult. We are not advising you tackle an adult, but you may see the time when you have no choice.
Good Luck!
