  Errr, one of the points of all this is to stand up to bullies, in this case in the tried and true fashion, and stop them before they push you too the breaking point. Helps that the vast majority of them, including the ones I've dealt with, get deterred real quickly when pain is on the menu, and often become somewhat friendly.

    That only works if you go to decent school were people have things to loose. Otherwise someone might very well end up dead or in prison. Adults can't manage violence, don't expect kids to.

      Well, adults ultimately manage violence with lethal force, which is essentially what you're saying. However, I submit to you that all this is a vital and psychologically essential lesson for kids to learn: recognizing standard issue bullies and dealing with them per the above, and, ideally not too young, recognizing those for whom this won't work. Bullying won't stop after e.g. K-12, I myself had to use a credible threat of lethal force to stop an attempt to feloniously bully me in college, and while it ought to move out of the physical realm once you enter the "real world", bullies abound there as well. Come to think of it, there was a dangerous, held back some so he was bigger than almost all of us, retarded boy who attended my school in 3rd grade plus or minus, who I treated as a potentially lethal threat, and never even thought to applied the treatment for normal bullies. Instead, that provided a lesson in gathering allies and all that.

  What's so shocking about it? Have you ever been bullied? Ever had to fight someone?
