[Sir Trev]

The two main bullies at my school were a good foot taller than everyone else and always had a posse with them. Most people who tried standing up to them ended up a mess on the floor and the odd week long suspension when the school knew full well it was them did nothing to deter them. I agree that if you can do so you should not bow down to them but pick your moment wisely and beware of a feral mob of uncles/cousins assuming their "little darling" has been wronged.
