That'll certainly do it.
When I was 10, I brought a baseball bat to a fight where I was outnumbered 10 to 1. Literally. The look of sheer terror on their faces bought me some time, but I still had to deal with shit. Maybe I should've taken a few swings.
re: people having pride in pain, people identify themselves with their pain because they think that's who they are. I personally refuse to let my past pain determine who I am. It's a hard process, but I'm a fighter and a survivor so I know I'll succeed. I want to basically share that message with anyone who was bullied: There is hope. It bums me out when I hear about some kid who committed suicide because he/she was bullied.
I might try and reach out to Ray Rice. He's local and is all about anti-bullying.
