I remember in 8th grade when this kid was hitting me with this ruler and calling me a "Twinkle Douche" in class for some reason. I punched it in the eye and gave him a swollen black eye.

My tips to not be bullied is to have a wide variety of friends in a wide variety of groups. I got friends in Nerd, Emo, Scene, Popular, Loser, etc. Most of the time when I talk to the emo/scene kids, I'm the only one that is dressed sharp. If someone has a problem with you, ignore them, or if things get bad, pop a cap in that pranksters ass.
