There seems to be a lot of "tough" guys here who think the solution is to beat up the bully. Which I think is the solution most of the time. Lets face it. A bully is a weak person to start with.
But what happens if the kid being picked on does not have the character to stand up to it? What is the answer?

I was 5'5" and 130 pounds soaking wet in highschool. The bully was the middle linebacker on the football team. I'm a very relaxed and non confrontational person by nature, and it was an agonizing decision to stand up to him, I'm no big toughguy, but I did learn sticking up for yourself is one of the best things you can do.
I guess I just have a strong personal conection to bullying, and I can say that life definitely got better when I stood up to him.
