I grew up in a small town. Because I was (at the time) small for my age and my family attended the "wrong" church I was bullied relentlessly. I turned the other cheek for (9) years until the day I fought back. The leader of the 'Bully Squad' sat in front of me in health class. He loved to lift the front of my desk up and dump me out of it. One day I had enough. I stood up, confronted him and labeled him with a roundhouse that knocked him cold. I was almost expelled from school but a lot of students said that they had watched the kid torment me since First Grade and wondered when I would finally hit back. It's needless to say that the bullying stopped--completely. Cost me a dislocated knuckle and a cracked wrist but justice was done. I might add that I understand why some kids bring a gun to school; the thought occured to me a couple of times. I was reminded of it some years later when a kid in a town that I eventually settled down in, about 50 miles away, brought a gun to school and shot and killed the bully. He served his complete sentence because every parole hearing he said that he had no remorse other than he didn't do it soon enough, and the only regrets he had was the pain that the bully's family had to go through...

[@edwagner325]

I had a friend in the 8th Grade you could slide right into this story. Good for you. My Buddy finally had enough by the last couple of weeks of school - it was a fantastic Finale' to the Eighth Grade. It wasn't a good day for the bullies. He was the hero of all the dweebs (myself included) I went to High School in the 1970's. You have people that are only there because they aren't old enough to leave home yet and their parents do not want them to stay home. They roamed in packs, picking out people to torment for their pleasure. I doubt that it's all that different today. The difference, we didn't live in a society where guns were an option. Today, bringing in a weapon to kill the bully is considered "the cost of doing business". I know people from when I went to school that I would have run off the road and would have lost no sleep over it. Of course I never acted on anger because I could avoid these bullies (Hide and Seek was not a kids game, it was survival in High School if you weighed 90 lbs as a Freshman) I was in a Psychology Class in Night School in 1999 (Military) when the subject of the 1999 Columbine School Shooting came up. The class gave their takes on the shooters - motivation - what it would take to do this - why didn't the thoughts of the consequences deter them (the shooters commited suicide). A guy about 33 or 34 years old spoke up and said, "I can understand why they would want to do this. When you have people seeking you out just to bully you every day, day after day -I think that a person could be convinced that a little payback is deserved. The bullies that were killed got what was coming to them." He went on to say, "I predict that if nothing is done about this kind of crap in schools, the future is going to be full of these paybacks." No one said anything and the silence caused the guy to grab his book and leave. (Class was over for the day) After he walked out, the Instructor was beside herself with shock (as were several members of the class). She said, "Oh my gosh can you believe this guy. This guy is dangerous and really should not be out in the real world with thoughts like this." Now, I may be the asshole, but listening to him and keeping an objective mind set, I really didn't disagree with him. (I did disagree that this was a way to solve the bullying problem) The point I think everyone missed was that if enough effort is put forth and all effort is put into tormenting someone, eventually everybody cracks. Looking back 23 years to that moment in the classroom I have to admit that the man was right. The difference now and then - THEN (1999): Columbine High School Shooting was an horrible anomaly that shocked a nation. We feared for the children as the Denver Colorado community came together for healing TODAY: School Shooting = Another AR-15 School Shooting??? It must be Tuesday.

I remember the first bullies I encountered. First grade. Bob and Joey had already failed a year, so they were slightly bigger, but not by much. They stuck together and terrorized probably 10 boys. They marched us in formation at lunch and recess. The threat wasn't really physical. They threatened to write on our arms with ink if we didn't obey. In first grade, ink pens were forbidden, so the threat was we'd get in trouble with the teacher. It kept us in line. Spring came, and I became a servant to Joey. All that meant was I had to stay with him and do what he said. But one day in late Spring, the breaking point came. Standing on a hill with Joey, he told me to do something, and I snapped after all those months. I barely remember it, then or now. A reflexive thing. I made a fist and punched Joey in the nose. He had an immediate bloody nose. I didn't immediately start dancing around in victory. On the contrary, I saw the blood and waited for the beating I knew was coming. Except it didn't come. Joey, whose voice sounded afraid and disbelieving, asked me repeatedly why I hit him. I don't recall answering him. There's more to the story, but it's not necessary here. No one has marched around after that day. And I learned bullies aren't so tough, but you have to stand up to them. I will say it's one of the reasons I don't care for anti-bullying programs, nor do I like parents getting involved. It was handled, I handled it, and there were no repercussions. Incidentally, Bob became a successful businessman, and Joey didn't return the following year. I still don't care for Bob all these decades later.

I was bullied relentlessly through school, the first year was awful and I had 0 defence or offence against any threat that came my way, my mum bless her, took me to kickboxing lessons when I was about 11 going on 12. I never told anyone, and whilst being bullied, I was training everyday for hours on end, and one day the snap came, walking down the corridor the bully,(funnily enough named Joe) was kicking my foot behind my other foot as I stepped forwards, I just remember firing my foot towards his face as hard as I could. I missed, and kicked him in his throat full force. He had to go home to recover, from that day forwards I realised I wasn't made of glass.

[@Afterburner]

The bully who I dealt with repeatedly in high school picked one fight too many with me and one day when he slammed a basketball in my face, I waited until he turned his back and made a running leap and hit him with a left hook so hard I nearly broke my hand. He beat the living hell out of me and knocked me out, but he got into trouble for it and never laid a hand on me again. He finally found someone who hit back... I never would talk to him through the years and he died recently. While all of his friends sat around lauding what a great guy he was, I remembered all the people he beat up with the school principals covering for him. His soul can rot in hell. I am satisfied knowing I gave that SOB a nearly broken jaw for his unending reign of terror - It was worth the beating I took. People started to not pick fights with me after that incident, although one more fight happened where I took one more bully out and after that, I had the most peaceful year of high school ever. I was glad to escape that hell hole when I graduated.

I was dreading that the gang would show up again and pick up where they left off. One of the girls (now a young woman with family) in my class took me aside and gave an update. After graduation, one of the bullies disappeared, never to be seen again. Three others were dead before they turned 21 years old. The ringleader sat in his mother's basement, unemployed and unemployable, with numerous violent felonies on his record.

I’ve changed the school because of that, here comes the interesting part - in the new school I landed in a class of a young criminals with numerous cases of different offences registered in the police department. When those guys heard my story they actually helped me out to build my confidence, my self defence capabilities and to build no fear of confrontation with others.

I never learned any martial arts but I despise bullies and as a kid someone once told me that the fights you see in the movies are totally ridiculous and that almost all fights end with the first punch to the nose (which very much stuns the opponent and can even be fatal). We moved a lot while I was growing up (similar to being any military brat) and I often got tested by bullies at my new schools. With the information I had about the punch to the nose, whenever things looked tense I made sure that I was rubbing my eye or pushing back my hair or some other thing that placed my right hand (dominant hand) at head level. Then, yes, I always took the first action, which was to bring my fist into strong contact with the opponents nose. I never lost a fight *in fact I cannot recall ever even being hit) and I was never bullied twice and most fights ended with that first blow. The only ones that didn't end with that first blow was when I was so angry that I continues to pummel the opponent (generally repeatedly to the nose). SO, NOW YOU KNOW ALL THE MARTIAL ARTS YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!

This father was shouting and demanding for my Dad who then appeared. He showed the bruise on his son's face and demanded that I be immediately punished and thrashed with a belt by my Dad in their presence. My Dad immediately took one look at his boy who was much taller, bigger and older than me. Confirmed that I had hit him in self-defence. Without hesitation, he immediately chased the pair of them from the property threatening to do the same to this father. There was an aftermath to this story which involved a further altercation between the fathers. One thing was certain; they messed around with the wrong Dad who had given me an important boxing lesson in the garage so I could stand my ground and fight back against my school bullies.

The French teacher was gorgeous; beautiful blue eyes, long dark hair down past her perfect derrier and a dazzling smile. I had a huge crush on her. She was only 6 years older than me. Anyhoo, she had this senior bully as her student aid during my French class. He made a big mistake when he decided to attack me while she was not in class. All 30 other students were sitting at their desks. As I entered he started vulgarly trash talking me and then he did the thing i like most in a fight; he tried to kick me in the cojones. Oh, joy! He didnt know that my younger brother was a young martial arts expert who lived to fight every day since he was 5 and that I helped him by being his sparring partner. He taught me all he knew. Anyhoo, I caught the bully's foot as he tried to kick me in the cojones. I firmly gripped his foot. I then twisted it very forcibly. He had 2 choices: to either turn in the direction I was twisting towards or get a briken amlle. He wisely hopped and turned facing away from me. I lifted his foot up into the small of his back and kept twisting to the point it wouldn't twist any further without breaking his ankle and tearing tendons in foot, ankle and calves. I had him hop over (he only had the one foot on the ground) to the blackboard and pushed his face firmly into it. I told him he could either apologize and ask for forgiveness or I would break his ankle. He chose wisely to give me the most sincere of apologies. I kept asking him to add other things to it, I had him promise not to try anything with me again and to stop bullying young boys. Satisfied he learned his lesson i eased up on the twisting of his ankle and was about to let him go, when the gorgeous French teacher entered the room. Her eyes grew huge in astonishment and her jaw fell open. She said one word, "Davide!?" I told her I was just teaching Bruce a move I saw in Kung Fu the night before (Kung Fu was uber popular TV show in the 70s. So, totally plausible.) I then said, "Isn't that right, Bruce? As I slightly increased the twisting. Bruce said, "Yes, I missed that episode and wanted to know what new moves Kwai Chang Caine did." I eased up on the twisting and then released him. I never could catch Bruce even looking at me again. Word spread that I knew martial arts and no one tried to bully me again. And the bullying of 15 year old freshmen by Bruce also stopped.

My father went to high school in the '70s. When he was a freshman, there was another kid who had failed several grades. He was basically a senior+ with the freshman. He would bully many people and had been doing so for years. He could get away with it because he was basically an adult man amongst teenagers. One day he beat up one of my dad's friends before school, so my dad went to the pull-up bars, slid one of the bars out (it was designed so that the height could be changed), and hit the bully in the back of the knees with the iron bar, dropping him to the ground. The bully turned his head and said my dad was a dead man when he got up. My dad raised the iron bar over his head and said, "You're not getting up, you son of a bitch." Luckily for me (lol), one of the coaches had seen what was going on and rushed over to grab the iron bar out of my dad's hands before he could kill the bully. Later, the entire varsity football team heard the story, and they all beat the crap out of the bully with promise of more retribution if he bullied anyone else again (my dad was on the JV team at the time and was friends with a lot of the older players). The bully quit school and was never seen by my dad again.

Speaking as somebody who didn't stick out of the ground particularly far, and was the object of some attempted bullying over the years, the single most important thing is your attitude, if you want to to win badly enough or just be left in peace (and also stop the bullying and earn some respect in the process), you will find a way to learn what you need to learn in order to be victorious. Secondly, if you don't provoke others, you also have the moral advantage, which I've also found to be quite motivating. At the end of the day, everybody's got their own problems, you can't assume that you'll get any help, and essentially it's your problem to deal with yours on your own.

I was a middle class kid who was sent to an elite boarding school to get a better education than the local public school could offer. The bullying I and many others experienced there was extreme. It also came from some of the teachers. Some of whom were drug addicts or pedophiles. I hated it there but survived a better man with the help of some great friendships that became lifelong. The school was decades later engulfed in a sexual assault scandal with the former headmaster and several pedophiles identified and disgraced. Though nobody went to prison despite dozens of students being molested over decades. Thankfully I wasn't a victim but 3 of my friends were. I was bullied though. My advice regarding bullies is the first time he does it, drop him and show everyone he has no power over you. It took me several years of torture before i finally stood up.

Even depending on others isn't ideal, because they can easily become resentful as they are unable to stand on your own and live independently. Maybe learning martial arts and going to the gym helps, but there are not easy fixes for being weak. However until one's spirit is broken, there's always a way out.

I was in the 11th grade in 1983/84 when I finally turned the tables on my stepdad who thought he was my master…I was a great athlete (football, wrestling at school and boxing at the YMCA) and had put up with it too long. After a slight altercation where he asked for my keys (he was taking my car for really no reason)…I snapped. I threw the keys at him and he stood up and started taking off his belt. I ran up, grabbed him by his shirt, and threw him into a chair that had a unique design across the top (side note: the design of that chair was in our wall for years after, lol). I whacked him a few times and he crumbled like a rag doll. He was the type to keep running his mouth no matter how bad he was beat. So…every time he opened his mouth, I hit him again. As I tried to walk to my room, he jumped on my back. I quickly flipped him around, carried him into the hall where there was the old style heating grate (the kind from a 1940s/50s house in the center hallway about 30” x 50”). I belly to belly slammed him on the grate, where he grunted as all the air went out of his lungs. I saw him reach up to attempt to hit me, then laid a right hand across his face that put him in a temporary coma (knocked out). Earlier that day, I had been at the River with my best friend and cut my foot on a broken bottle, pretty bad. We went back to my friends house, where his Aunt helped bandage my foot. I was gonna miss work and called my mom to tell her to call work to tell them (this was well before mobile phones and she had the number). During the fight with my stepdad, my foot had started bleeding again, and there was blood everywhere. My older sister had even started slapping me during the fight, not understanding what had happened. For some reason she took his side, despite us all knowing when he got caught at a peephole in the closet, looking at her bathing, a year earlier. Days later I found out why all the beef started that day and why I was in trouble and my car keys were being taken…my real dad had simply called my mom to ask if I could come over that weekend, which wasn’t his normal “every 3rd weekend” regular visit. That pissed her off and she antagonized my stepdad until they were both fuming when I got home. I didn’t even know he had called, but I guess they thought I had gone behind their backs. That’s it, that’s all they were so upset about. I went on to move in with my real dad shortly after, and did make amends with my mom and stepdad. Although I did whup his arse 2 more times just for good measure. The 2nd and 3rd times were after I was somewhat grown and had a child of my own. I just wish I had put him in his place a few years earlier when I knew I could.

[@batvette]

It should be no surprise to most 17 year olds more than slightly athletic that their fathers can easily be beaten. Problem is you really dont want to go there. I did and instead of finishing senior year found myself at the Navy recruiters office and a few months later, in boot camp. Every guy I know who stood up to a bullying father has a similar story. Standing up for yourself is just a ticket out the door. If youre ready for a change in scenery, ready to be a man, go for it. Just remember whose roof youve been living under, and know theres only one leader in the pack of wolves.

[@TheRoadDawg]

@@batvette You are correct, I can’t argue with that. We learn those lessons in life, many times too late. After all that happened, I ended up jumping around to both Grandparents houses and 3 High Schools my Senior year. After all I did thru High School, to have just my picture in the yearbook and absolutely no bio next to it, was a sad day. I did have a full bio in the high school in graduated from, but I went from a 4A to a 1A school. Anyway, I’m old now. My body is much older than my age (due to autoimmune diseases), and looking back at these moments. I tell my stepdad I love him all the time and we are on good terms. I have a great family…2 kids, 4 grandkids now. I’ve been married 37 years and while my health is very bad, I am very happy with the life I lead. With a few regrets, but too few to mention (thanks Frank S.).

I was close to your identical time frame. Stepdad was retied from the Air Force a year before I went to my initial entry training. I returned from USMC boot camp no longer intimidated by anybody. He tried to lecture me about timeliness on borrowing the his truck until I had it rinsed off, tank topped, backed into the driveway, keys returned, and washed up for dinner still 10-15 min early.

At the meeting with the principal I mentioned my regret but in the car I just said, do whatever necessary to stop bullying. My wife (bless her soul) said, "well, broken arm wouldn't kill her. You beat them hard, just don't kill them". She was very emotional about it. I will teach my grandsons and granddaughter the same thing I taught my children.

The only way to deal properly with a bully is to hurt them to such an extent that they fear ever messing with you again. I threw my bully face first into a urinal and then later pinned him against the wall after he kept kicking the backs of my knees. My exact words were "What am I going to have to do to you to make you stop?". He never bullied me again.

[@dexine4723]

Good for you. Sometimes, violence is the only thing that such bullies understand. Years ago, I was working in a male-dominated workplace and was persistently sexually harassed by one guy, by the name of Richard (a highly suitable name, considering the shortened form of it). I tried being reasonable and told him to desist, and my friends told him to back off, but his response was to escalate his behaviour. It was in the days before laws came in and management were turning a blind eye, so it was something I had to deal with myself. It went on for a couple of months until one day, at my wits end, I warned him one last time and he responded with one last disgusting insult. I saw red and smashed him over the head with a heavy metal tray, nearly knocking him out. Never had any trouble with him after that.

I was bullied relentlessly in school. My parents, teachers, and school admin tried to intervene, but it never stopped. In a group, the bullies could overpower me. Eventually fear turned to rage.

[@JohnBarrylizard]

To my surprise bullying was allowed and encouraged at most of the 11 public schools I attended, and, to my knowledge, still is. The irony is bullies are alway cowards. I was warned that a bully terrorized the school as I was walking to school in 2nd grade. I listened to "the monster" and the things he did. We got to school, had class and then it was first recess. Second recess was after lunch. Anyway, I was speaking to the same kids when "the monster came along" and to me surprise he was a small little kid. He'd go up to one child and torment him, then another and another. No one fought back, and the teachers did nothing to stop him. I couldn't believe it. They told me once he reached us just put my head down and avoid his thrashing, instead I threw him to the ground and beat the crap out of him. There wasn't a thing he could do as I held him down with my left arm and beat him with my right. He was completely unable to fight back. Immediately the teachers, who had been watching, came out to rescue the "monster". I was hailed a hero by the other kids, but anyone could have done it. They were so terrified by what a "monster" he was they were afraid to do anything. I had no training at that time. We never saw him again, and I didn't get into trouble. This has been my experience with bullies again, and again. Freshman year, first days at lunch I was sitting with a lot of other boys my age when a confident JV Football player challenged all the freshman boys to a fight one by one. He had girls with him and was showing off. The very last person he challenged happened to be me and I casually said, "sure". By then I had a lot of training in boxing, but he didn't know that. He did sense something was wrong and quickly said, "Only a slap fight" and I said sure. I just stuck a jab in his face and turned him to my left. He was slapped so much he became afraid to move his arms, and I quickly realized he had no experience with fighting. I kept my hands open and didn't hurt him, but made him think twice about pulling that crap again. His confidence was gone in his voice and body language. After school while walking my dog and talking to my bro on the phone, some big old dude, at night said his place had been robbed and asked if I knew anything about it. I said I didn't. He said he thought I was lying and threatened to blow my brains out. This was not in school, and this was a grown up outside, and I was scared. My first thought was to run. He kept talking and again said that he was going to blow my brains out. I was frozen with fear. The third time he said it I dropped my phone, dropped my dogs leash and ran at him and shook him like a rag doll, swore at him and had planned to beat him but he didn't even try to fight back. He didn't even speak. Another coward. I threw him to the ground and told him to never threaten me again. He called the police on me, but, apparently, didn't tell them I had shook and thrown him to the ground after he threatened to "blow my brains out". They asked me if I knew anything about his stolen stuff. I told them I'd never stolen anything in my life and invited them to search my room. They declined and left me alone. The big mouth coward left me alone too. That was stupid on my part because I had no idea if that coward had a gun or not, and cowards like that would use it instead of fighting. I also could have gone to jail on assault, but I was outraged because I did not steal anything, and didn't want to be his victim. I'll say it again; it's been my experience that bullies are always cowards.

He lost and lost quickly with a severe beating. It changed him completely and he not only never bothered me again, but ceased from bullying everyone.

When you dont fear the beating and accept that you will get hurt in the fight. You have one over on your bully.

I was bullied all my years of school. In 1975 at 16 years old and a junior in high school. Korean Master J Man Lee came to school and did a demonstration. He was a Master in Tae-kwon-do, Hapkido, and Judo. He also was an expert with numerous weapons. He was looking to get new students and I could not wait to join. I have lived and breathed martial arts for 48 years. I started teaching my son when he was only 4. When he was a junior in high school I learned about a football player who had been picking on him for 3 years. He had been talking to his mom and she by all means told him to walk away and not get into trouble. I was never told about it. When I over heard him and his mom I waited for my chance to talk to him. I told him I over heard the conversation and not to worry about what would happen but the next time this kid picked on him to make it he last time. At 16 unlike me my son was a 3rd degree black belt in 2 styles of martial arts and a black belt in the other. The next day was the last time that kid ever picked on my son. Master Lee recently passed away at age 83. May he R.I.P.

A guy who had been my best friend for years was bullying some Freshmen in the gym and I broke it up, telling the Freshmen to go on to class. The bullies all whined that I was breaking tradition and that they had been bullied when they were Freshmen. I told them I would NOT look the other way if they tried to keep that "tradition" alive.

Quite simply if you did not like or appreciate those actions, then do not do it. My oldest son [in Grade 8} was targeted on the school bus by much older students. The bus driver reported this to the school and the Deputy Principal had my son identify these students from their photos in the school year books. No further incidents because these Grade 11 or 12 students were summoned to account for their actions to not be expelled. A zero tolerance policy has to be enforced by timely action.

I went to a boarding school and it was basically torture from privileged rich kids on the smaller kids. No chance to fight back and win. Adults always ignore this; no matter the physical or psychological torment, not their problem. We even had some crazy teachers who reveled in their power over the kids and would use it to rage out against them or assume attitudes of kingly superiority, entirely unearned and unnecessary. Over trivial matters or just made-up baloney. Boarding schools can be absolute hell-holes. You're isolated from any family or community support, and pitted against people who know they have all the support in the world no matter what they do, because teachers and admins have a very vested interest in supporting the rich kids regardless. And not just the rich kids trying to pick on their peers. The rich kids purposely picking out those younger and far less physically developed, who will suffer not matter what option they choose, and indeed enter into even the discussion through suffering.

[@nistecuvinteoarecare]

It is unclear whether the first violent incident we see is actually a case of Erik being a bully. It is ambiguous because he is shown directly at the moment when Erik prevailed over that person - but we have no clue what sparked it. As for the "judgment" imparted by the school principal later, we can safely assume he is also clueless of what actually happens in his school.

I was always a great athlete and had girl friends from preschool on. When someone tried to bully me, it never went well for them. Later I used my superior athletic ability to intimidate every bully by doing something physically not possible for them to do, like picking up a car and moving it. Once I lifted more weight by hundreds of pounds than the bully could. I broke the lifting record displayed on the weight room wall by doing that weight many times in sets of 12. He never bothered me again. I also sent a couple of guys to the emergency room with one punch. Never ever allow anyone to bully you.

I watched this video before. I would have gotten Otto earlier. I do not like bullies in the least. I never looked for a fight. I was injured by two boys badly enough to where I had to have corrective surgery. I got one of the boys back and his father who was a major called my mother demanding that I be punished. He changed his tune when my mother told him that I needed to have corrective surgery for what his son and the other boy had done to me 5 months earlier. That's when she threatened to sue him and the captain whose son had injured me. I am 68 years old today and was unable to father any children because of the injuries that I had received. I wish that my folks had sued them. They were too nice. Both the major and the captain moved their families. I never got even with the captains son. Oh, well. I hope both boys turned out to be good people. Vaughn

This might sound weird compared to teens today, but back in 76, I was bullied by this dude from middle school. Jump to 79 in H.S. after a few years of TKD/JDK training I decided to fight this guy. For some reason, we never got to fight because when I approached him, he had no idea who I was. Long story short, we started talking, shared some interests and we've been best of bros to this day. I'm a guitarist and he's a drummer.

[@Mel.U]

That's a pretty cool story

[@calvinsmyth]

A kid was targeted by another just for being short. At the bus stop, the bully pushed him around, sometimes punching him. The bully was on the football team, and the shorter guy was on the baseball team. One day, the baseball player had his bat with him for practice, and it did not end well for the football player. The bully's father told the father of the other that he would be paying for the dental work of his son, but after learning that his son was a persistent bully, he nodded, turned around, and that was the end of that. Lesson: Don't bring your teeth to a baseball bat fight.

I gave one off the bullies a hefty smack .. the teacher gave me punishment because he told me .. because of my father I am not permitted to do so. Told my dad about this. He said nothing.. but bullying ended mostly. However Decision for me, to stand through, leave the region, get education and profession elsewhere. Success. The bully is now a janitor. The teacher suffered hefty and died from cancer .. The fates are sometimes strange. Treat everyone like you want to be treated but do not forget treat others as they treat you, if needed.

[@JacquesTaularde]

This summary is well done and moves right along without quenching the desire to watch the film. 'Evil" recalls the "Chocolate Wars" film one I highly recommend. My own experience is in a massive 3500+ public high school, all colors, social classes, and a great tradition of fights, rumbles, bullying, cruelty and superior athletics. All in all, it boils down to respect and how to obtain it, keep it, and maintain it. It helps to have a father who has some moxie and a loving care of his boys. But, we had some real nasty and strong boys, some criminal types. My method, other than mixing it up an hitting hard, was to use humor. One feature of my years at that intellectual sewer was the black girls who were really ferocious when fighting in a jealous rage. We used to spread rumors about their guy getting it on with her hated rival. THen wait until you hear the screeching and cursing. They inevitably tore each other's blouse to shreds, providing a strip show. The oldest sister of our State Champion basketball team's toughest rebounder was easily the meanest, toughest, most ruthless fighter in the whole city, capable of beating up even her brother. The 'cool, in-crowd' guys who ran the school resemble the characters at the private school in this film mentioned. They were cold, nasty, pretend-religious, dressed in the latest, had the perfect girlfriends, and were headed to primo fraternities at the university. It was not wise to antagonize them by being successful, talented, or a ladies' man. Underhanded means and destruction, lies, rumors, planted evidence and so on followed. One can be ready for adulthood if one learns what a closed society is really all about. My dear country, my patria, is at present being driven into the ground by a group of determined, self-centered manipulators with the help of their enforcement arms, banks, soldiers, lawless enforcement and the constant tree-top screams of the various forms of media. Since these are at a distance and nearly abstract, it is hard to take them to the fighting area and teach them respect. It must be done or we have tyranny and civil war. Men must be men and deal with it eventually. Bullies do not retire, quit, change to a more compassionate form of bullying. It is interesting how most of the comments dial back to you youths, when we were young but still tender hearted. I happen to have been born into a family of very tough and dangerous men and even tougher women. Whining was not an option, but I at least had many cousins. We always had a mouthpiece to scheme and set up the muscle for confrontations. It is REALLY exciting to settle an old score or put real boundaries down! In the end, we never escape danger because our modern era has mastered the Lie, so that strong men with weak minds are easily fooled and led to the financial slaughter. Fathers cannot build estates to hand down to sons (hardly true of the 500 wealthiest, eh?). Women who want to rule the property and have au pairs, servants, many children and stability? We men can make that happen but it is not easy if you are on the end of the lash or are salary or wage earner. The pecking order of society is so common and has been there since the first tribe that we have to withhold our judgment about it. It is wise to just clear out the area you want to maintain and forget abstract political solutions. All come down to faith, fighting and common decency. But a boy who has not taken a lot of crap has missed out on what is a fact of life. I regret it, but it is a fact.

Tell your AI narrator to look up the words "arbitrary" and "avenge." It's using them incorrectly.

[@kingsting12]

For those of you who's interested. This movie is an adaption of the Jan Guillou book sharing the same name (Ondskan('evil' in swedish). The book is unfortunately partly written as an autobiography. As such, both the infamous school, Solbacka, and the culture of violence shown in the movie were all very real. Many of the students who graduated from there became influential people in Sweden, mostly due to their extensive networking and continued culture of cooperative elitism. Our main character is based on the author, who himself caused and went through all the trauma shown in this movie during his childhood at this school. This movie was up until pretty recently still shown in Swedish schools.

[@MaxWindshear]

In middle school, I became close friends with a really smart kid. Some considered him goofy, but the kind of kid that wouldn't hurt a fly. He got picked on now and then, and I would feel terrible for not being brave enough to step in and defend him. One day, a bully shoved him to the ground. To my amazement, my friend jumped up, fists raised, ready to fight. The bully was totally shocked but had to show his dominance to save face as there were kids gathering around. He swung at my friend, but my friend dodged it and punched him right in his face. The bully came at him again, and again got a fist to the face! The crowd cheered as the bully turned and ran! I was so proud of my friend. I'd known him for almost a year and never saw him stand up to anyone, so when I asked him where he found the courage and strength, I was surprised to hear him say he'd "just had enough" and revealed he had a brown belt in karate!

My father, who passed away 28 years ago, is who JG based the character Pierre off of in the books. His name was Peter Islinger(google the name). He was room mate with JG and told me about those years from time to time and that Guillou took some(sometimes a lot of) liberties in his storytelling but that some of it really took place. Remember, it´s a novel not a biography. If you google it might only come up in swedish pages though. He became a teacher and was very fond of jazz and started a small jazz association in Lidköping Sweden in his later years. We lost him to cancer at the age of 53. Jan Guillou actually came to visit when my father turned 50 and i got my copy of the book signed. The reality of my father leaving the school is that he left, partly because of the conditions there. He then falsified his id, since he was under 18, to be able to pattern on ship where he became a cook. He went to sea for 12 years i believe before he met my mother and consequently had children. Maybe JG used that to imagine the story about french foreign legion, who knows. Btw the series from 2023 is slightly better in my mind.
