Can't program out survival of the fittest, although the Greens are giving it a good crack.

I tend to prefer to do them slowly. Something very satisfying at seeing a bully confounded at the run of bad luck that seems to dog them for years on end.

I mentioned on another thread awhile back that one of the worst bullies at high school went on to marry, father children and work in a well paid job. I suppose no one wanted revenge bad enough.

It's simple, but 'experts' in any field love to make things appear more complicated than they are. Be wary of anyone who starts a sentence with "look, it's a very complex area with no quick fixes", because they are usually ignorant or they're protecting their position.

If I can make something look complicated, I enhance my position. Since I'm the only one who understands it, I must be special and in-demand. I ensure my paycheck and status this way. If the problem is seen for what it truly is - ie. simple - then I lose all that. I have an investment to protect, and that investment is me and my wage. Virtually every profession does this. Having a special lingo helps entrench rarity value.

I would post some more but I'm extremely busy. Hang on, I have 3 phones ringing, and one is my broker. See what I did?

More tools at our disposal these day. It's never too late...you can still derail him if you feel up to it.
 

Yes a straight line is an endangered species
 
When one of my sons was in year 7, his group of friends was being harassed by one of the year 10 students.

The year 10 student was apparently the toughest kid in school having knocked out men in the past. Of course he singled out my son.

Unbeknownst to him I've been training my son to box since he was 4. And he got a shock when my young bloke raised his hands. To cut it short my young bloke tagged him non stop and he couldn't hit him. No knockouts, but reputations were made and destroyed.

After that the bullies reputation was shot. He fell off the top of the social ladder and its a long drop when thats your identity and all you have got.
He dropped out of school in the end.

I felt sorry for the guy.
 

My Grand Daughter 15 was being bullied last year.

So I managed to get her into training with me in Martial arts.

Krav Maga

Everyone should be involved in Martial arts.
You'll learn respect, dedication, commitment.
If you can look after yourself you'll hardly ever
have to use your discipline.

She has only been doing it this year but no bullies
to be seen and a growing friends group.
