Conflict between young boys typically ends in a bit of a brawl, but in the experience of many is over and done with as boys tend to move on or at least get other these things in a more timely way than girls. The following true story was written by Ken Wright about a childhood experience involving his cousin. We all a good laugh over it.
My cousin Scott and I really never got along. He was several
years older than I and was bigger and tougher. Actually, he was a big bully. I
didn’t see him often, but when I did, he was trouble. I never knew why he
picked on me, but he surely did.
One Sunday when I was about 12 years, old my parents and I
went to visit Scott and his family. After we greeted each other and the parents
were talking in the living room, Scott and I went to play in the basement play
room.
We played darts and Scott would keep hitting me and annoying
me when I tried to throw my darts.
Oh, did I mention that he would cheat at everything?
Finally, I had had it. Scott and I were fighting for the
darts on the dartboard, when I grabbed a dart and stuck it through his hand,
pinning it to the board. He screamed, yanked the dart out of his hand and ran
upstairs crying to his mother.
He never bullied me again, and I learned that when you are
bullied, fight back. Hard. Bullies really are cowards!
