No. -- That's not how bullies work, Louis. I heard the same thing my whole life and it made no difference whatsoever, no matter how meek or nonreactive I was. I still got the shit kicked out of me. Until I started fucking bringing a baseball bat with me. People like him need other people to stand up to them. Once he realizes his shit isn't going to work, that it's not going to make me feel bad and need someone to raise me from fucking perdition or whatever, then he'll be powerless. Doesn't that make sense?
