I think some clarification is needed here [img]smile.gif[/img]
Alex mentioned that those guys stopped picking on him after he dealt with them. That worked for me too. However, he is NOT saying that SHOULD be the solution
You could easily pick the WRONG fights. If you do something like that, you might find they have big brothers with knives or something
The best thing you can do is hang around with good friends who at least care for your plight (just don't be too whiney
). That, in itself, will alleviate the issue somewhat
