A bullying fine?

Anyway once he comes up to while I'm playing racquetball at our park and was in my face and I wouldn't fight so he punched me in the gut.

I was a fat kid, but I wasn't mushy.  I felt it but it didn't hurt.  I picked up my racquet and walked away.  Looking back I should have hit him over the head with the racquet but I did not want to fight.  My dad got wind of it and went down to straighten the kid out...which I did NOT want him to do but he did it anyway.  My father is tough but fair.

Not long after the kid comes up to me AGAIN and this time I just stood my ground and he left without an incident.

I've taken a few punches unfortunately.  Luckily they are body shots so I can laugh and walk away.  I've never thrown a punch in anger though.  Lots of shoving and me trying not to fight.  I was always afraid I'd hurt somebody.

But I always knew if someone was all out attacking I'd have to fight back...and then it would not have been pretty given how bad my temper was back then.

same boat I never had reason to hurt someone.. it took a lot to get me angry enough to start thinking about throwin a punch.   and then I would take a second and think of the outcomes of said fighting and usually it wasn't worth it.
