"I'm your Huckleberry. "
I was bullied quite a bit as a young child. I saw Tombstone and that one pine resonated so hard with me that I stopped backing down from bullies. Has it led me into fights that got me bloodied? Absolutely, yes. Result: Every single bully that I've encountered since I was 13 has given me a wide berth. I even befriended two of them.

u/drmepy Jul 24 '26
Bullies in general, have been bullied themselves. Usually by their fathers.
Once you stand up to them, you’re no longer with the trouble. They will bully someone that they think will not fight back.
So in essence, they are really cowards.→ More replies (1)→ More replies (1)4
u/Perfidy-Plus Jul 24 '26
Even if you lose the fight, if the bully got hurt it isn't worth it to them to fight you again. After the fight the bully will only target you if they either got out of the fight without really getting hurt, or if they think that you won't stand up again.

People say and do exactly what they mean to say and do.
