I did one time.
I whooped his arse and it immediately stopped and never was a problem again.....you have to let people know that you aren't to be fricked with one way or the other.

Hell yeah... in my neighborhood, we all bullied each other growing up. You learned to give as good as you take... it's natural development for boys.
Boys receive spikes of testosterone while growing. In turn, aggression emerges naturally in children and diminishes as they learn how to express themselves appropriately. Call it rough housing, horseplay, rough-and-tumble, whatever. We play-fought or "bullied" with our fathers and playmates. It's instinctual and an important part of learning self control.
I'm no social behavior expert but since the 70's there has been more and more discouraging or condemning of children play "bullying" with peers and fathers at an early age.
No longer being able to male "role-play", physically, or even with toy guns / weapons / name-calling, and learning to work out natural aggression with playmates and adjust to what REAL LIFE WILL BRING would seem to be responsible for both the unbridled "hate" we are seeing and the thin skinned pansies who cry "victim" at the smallest sign of adversity or name calling.

Bro, taking shots at friends or wrestling with friends is much different than making fun of a kid’s facial features, speech impediments, etc. 
Your entire post is rendered invalid when you compare bullying to rough housing with your friends

Bro, that's where it all starts. If you don't learn to respond to name calling and aggression as a child you will out of control in the bully or victim spectrum as an adult. I got picked on for every feature of my body / personality / looks / mannerism that could be found and at times did so to others around me....as a child. It's where kids learn to work it out and adjust to real life BEFORE it evolves into adult lives. Anyone who thinks taking natural aggression away from kids at an early age is a good idea hasn't witnessed the growing gulf between hatred / victims, and well adjusted even tempered individuals who learned to manage emotions, aggressive impulses, and appropriate reactions as children.
Now persecution of Blacks, Roma's, Pols, Irish, etc., the out genocide and extermination of Midianites, Jews, Zunghar Mongols, Armenians, etc. and political persecution like Huang, Hitler, Leopold, Mussolini...that's all something a little different and has not stopped since the beginning of civilization.
There will always be the sociopaths, Nazi, KKK, Islam radicals, and on, but the growing "bully" / "victim" phenom is rooted in the learned ability to adjust to name calling and aggression in formative years to what life is going to bring .... and will continue to bring as long as there are people on this earth.

I had one bully. My mom told me to tell the teachers. They did nothing. My grandma told me to punch the kid as hard as I could in the face next time I saw him. I did that. The kid never bullied me again.
I love your grandma...
My younger brother was born with a skin disease & had huge buck teeth, the "buckest ever" lol. I was given the same message your grandma gave you to protect my little brother. The icing was if I came home beat up I was going to tote another one. Needless to say I'm a punch first type of guy. Always found myself protecting those that couldn't protect themselves. When I saw American Sniper the sheepdog message at the dinner table really hit home with me.

I got smacked around a couple of times.
One older, bigger guy used to make sure he smacked the shite outta me at PE when we played football or soccer. He got the cancer and croaked.
Another guy just verbally threatened to beat me up and he came out to a field where I was on a Saturday. I showed him my knife and he thought about it and just left me alone from then on.

In the fourth grade. By this big icebox looking girl who for some reason had it out for me. I was a pretty quiet kid then. This ninth grader named Greg used to sit with me on the bus so that she would leave me alone. That was damn near 30 years ago, and I went on with my life and I can’t tell you one thing about that girl after the fourth grade, but me and Greg are still friends to this day. So maybe I owe ol icebox a thank you.

I was the new kid in 7th grade. I had moved to California in second grade a d lived there for 4 years, but moved back at the end of 6th grade.
There were three or 4 kids that wanted to make sure I was miserable. They called me gay all the time because I had lived in San Fransisco. They would sometimes push me in the halls if i passed by them.
They never really got to me because I knew I could kick their asses even though they were all bigger than me.
One day at lunch one of them finally made the mistake of trying to fight me. I told the dude he didnt want to fight me, and that I was an orange belt in jiu jitsu, but he took a swing. I took him to the ground put him in an arm bar and made him say he was a bitch.
