Well, look at how you got those friends, will they be the best friend of the next guy that kicks their ass? Probably, because he'll be stronger than you. Really, lovely friends. True friends like you for your personality, not because you can beat them up.

Unless they've got a knife or are just plain psychopaths in which case you might lose a limb or two. Or a life, yours. And if you need to kick the ass of others to gain respect, confidence, self-worth and acceptance then I say that I'd rather go without it.

That is why I think SomeGuy should wait it out for a while, try different, non-violent ways to go about stopping this bullying and if that doesn't help, I think a fight is the only way to go.

The only time that a fight is the only way to go is in self-defence.
