Dias,

I think our system is messed up. You can't stand up for yourself against a bully even though you're capable of taking care of yourself because if you did, you would get in trouble. I think that's wrong (I think that natural consequences would be the right approach to dealing with bullies, but society won't buy it), but I'm not sure there is anything we can do about it. Kvinneakt's suggestion is good - go to the police and tell them about the assault you are being subjected to by this guy. If you aren't allowed to defend yourself then the police have to defend you.

I know a lot about bullies and just wrote a paper on that subject for one of my classes. If you want to talk about it more just let me know.

I'm the same age as LMo, and I don't want to be a grown-up either. So there. LMo, when's your birthday? Mine is Aug. 10, 1969, but I've been 29 for a while now and plan to stick with it for some time yet to come.
