8. Standing up to bullies is worth it
I’m not sure how to handle bullying as a boy, but as a girl, if you’re being psychologically abused by one of “The Plastics”, just tell her to suck it. Bullies are f*cking losers in a costume. It’s important to know how to throw a good punch just in case that’s not enough. Not at school of course, but if she comes at you anywhere else, give it to her. It’s not necessary you learn Krav Maga, just watch a YouTube video explaining how to throw a punch and how to protect yourself. If you’d like to take it a little further, flexing is also a good exercise; but don’t go around punching people just because you know how.
