Stand Up to Bullies

Poem Artwork


I learned to stand up to the bullies
By playing two rough and tough sports
Wrestling and football both helped me
Obviate aggressive retorts.

When I wore a big football letter
The bullies just left me alone
The letter implied quick reprisals
And the sport built up good muscle tone.

(c) 2005 Henry Lefevre

i'm glad it worked for you--it didn't for me

what finally did it was deciding--in 9th grade (took me long enough)--that i wasn't going to let their remarks bother me anymore--i learned to tune them OUT. they finally saw they couldn't get a rise out of me, so they went to fresh pickings.

an excellent write, nevertheless :)--enjoyed

you macho man, you :)

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :)

Me I was the youngest of seven and one of two girls. I had to learn to protect myself.

Henry, I don't ever remember being bullied, but I know a few that were..I often thought that if they'd only push back then the bully squad would leave them alone...I'm glad all these years later to learn that I may actually have been right!
Cute write.

I always fought at the drop of a hat, found early on that even if i occasionally lost the fight, the reputation for being a scrapper saved me from many battles. course, now a days i would do the smarter thing and run like hell but when i was younger...different story
