I mean - great advice if you’re as big as the bully. As a kid who was often smaller than kids 2-3 younger than him all the way to his senior year in high school

  In that case, maybe some Karate lessons first? I was also a tiny kid and it worked for me…

  Also, if the fight is fair. It was never 1 v 1, in my childhood, it was 1 v n. Even if you do catch the bully in a 1 v 1 fight, will the next fight be 1 v 1?

    The ideal situation is with as many bystanders watching as possible. That sucks if you have a gang after you, but perhaps it can be avoided in the first place by not being an easy target. I do agree that this won’t work in all situations.

      In High School, lined up waiting for an elective class, dozens of witnesses... I took this advice... I stood up to a bully, and since they were already "up in my grill" they were able to sucker punch me, right in the diaphragm, without having to raise their arm and make a big show, fist quick raise to ~90 degree bent elbow and jabbed strait forward.. leaving me struggling to stand and winded for several minutes... and because they were so close, no one clearly saw what they did... leading to dozens of people being, no witnesses at all... I changed classes. For everyone that thinks this advice always works... some bullies aren't cowards they're worse... they are arrogant assholes that think they can get away with what they are doing, or are entitled to do it... they may not back down, and may just get worse when confronted. ... Be careful

        Every decision you make carries some risk. This is true.
