If anyone makes a **** out of you, hook the head clean of them.

Be prepared for the consequences and im not talking getting into a scrap, I mean dealing with the law.

Grappling all the Way

Hey guys,
I'm currently in high school and some people may not know this but I used to be bullied. I was picked on for my appearance, skinny body and the weakness of mentality. I was so weak that this skinny white dude used to headlock me everyday when he saw me, regardless I was twice as big as him. The whole reason I started boxing was actually to get revenge on them, to get out of the position of being dissed. After a month of training I got beat up by this dude who when I think right now, his punches were slow as ****. Now a year after training and transferring to a new gym, I gained much more confidence. I learned how to weave and I have reached to the level where I could go easy on people who started sparring(though I still have a lot to work on)

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, are there any peeps who started boxing because of bullying? If so, how did that change your life and your social position? Did people diss you when you started training? (saying that they told you to spar or something) If people disses you how do you react to it? I personally ignore the punks but if it goes too much then I have this temptation of throwing a right cross at their face... but I shouldn't lol.
