The problem is that the average bully is significantly larger, if not older, than the victims they target . . . and they tend to run in packs. No way a small, weak, timid child can hope to "beat the living shit out of" three guys who are over twice his size. He will get his ass kicked . . . but he needs to fight them anyway. Nothing scares bullies more than someone they cannot beat because he will not give up, will not stay down, and will continue to bring the fight to them. He will get hurt, he will probably get suspended too, but after showing heart a few times everyone will respect him and no-one in that school will bully him again.
