With due respect, HN is likely the world's most concentrated nerd community. Nerds are bully targets. Asking such questions here is not going to give a response that is representative of the general community. My guess is that many of the people here on HN got bullied. My kids have been doing boxing since age 5 and are forbidden to stop taking classes. This is specifically so they can deliver hard lessons to the bullies who will appear in teenage years.
