Stand Strong: You Can Overcome Bullying (And Other Stuff That Keeps You Down)
“The first was in grade school when a bully who wanted to beat me up pushed me into an epic playground battle. It ended when I surprised him—and myself—with a leaping headbutt that bloodied his nose and sent him fleeing from my life forever.
The second major bully encounter, which I mentioned earlier in this book, was in high school when an older classmate kept yelling the same crude thing at me every day in the hallway until I finally told him he was hurting me and asked him to stop.
The third ...was the most recent incident. My wife and I were staying at a nice hotel and enjoying the pool when a drunk walked by and made stupid and crass comments about my body. I just ignored him until he stumbled back into the hotel.
Each one of those incidents was hurtful. The first two stressed me out because the intimidation went on for what seemed like a long time. I still feel a little queasy when I recall how those first two bullies got inside my head. The third incident was over more quickly, but the fact that it happened in front of my new wife was embarrassing.MoreLess
