I'm just finishing my high school (i've got about 14 hours left).
While i was never picked on physically the only reason for this is one of my teachers seeing a group of students trying to provoke me. So he quitly took them aside and told them about his weekend.
I've done martial arts for most of my high school life and as such i'm not too bad. And my teacher happened to see me at a tournament that weekend.
So the only thing that stopped my friends and i being overtly picked on was the fact the others were told that i could probably injure them.
How stupid is that, the only thing stopping violence is the threat of greater violence in return.
But too all the other people out there dont take this as an indication you should go out and learn karate so you can beat people who bother you into a pulp.
Go out and do karate if you want to get fit and have some fun...
And dont worry it'll all be over in a few years anyway so just try and get a close group of friends and you never have to see the other fuckups again.
