Yep. I was bullied in the 5th grade. Told my dad. He taught me to fight, even if I had to start the action myself because bullies seldom do. Said bully tried her shit with me one last time and I slugged her. She grabbed my hair, we rolled around in the grass for a bit and were dragged apart, screaming at one another. Guess who never got picked on again?  If you guessed scrawny little me, you'd be right.  As a minor bonus, that altercation earned me a reputation as a bad ass, lol. Never got picked on again.
