Growing up i wasnt the most athletic kid, or the coolest kid. I didnt really even have any friends.  Other kids would make fun of me and pick on me because i was overweight  and would sometimes push me around. This would even happen on the bus after school.  Eventually i had had enough of being pushed around and one day after school i had filled my backpack with all my books and got onto the bus.  Right before it got to my stop i had gotten up to walk to the front of the bus.  One of the kids that was the main ones doing the bullying had thrown something at me and hit me in the face.  I didnt even look, i just swung my backpack and hit him in the head with it.  Even though i had been being bullied for so long before this i still got into trouble and he didnt.  Another time was when we had our bathroom break.  one of the boys went into the bathroom after me and pushed me up against the wall.  Then he started punching me in the stomach and head.  And just like on the bus i had had enough of being picked on and bullied so i did what was natural and just punched him in the face and broke his nose.  this time someone other than me got into trouble because some of the other kids saw this happen.  now that im grown up and in highschool, im easily one of the biggest kids in the school.  The classes of freshmen that come in keep getting smaller and smaller and cant stand up for themselves when people that are bigger than them decide to start bullying them.  Being the biggest kid in the school has advantages such as nobody messing with oyu anymore. So whenever i see someone picking on another, smaller kid i step in and warn them to leave them alone. As you can imagine this has caused several fights.  The point being that even though you may not be able to take up for yourself theres always later on down the road when you can do extraordinary things, or have friends that will help you out when your in a tight spot.
