We had a bully on our school bus. He was always picking on kids on the bus and taking their stuff, sometimes throwing it out the window. The driver even went and complained at his house. The grandmother came to the bus and instead of apologizing for the kid tried to tell the kids on the bus what a ruff life he had and to be nice to him. Think most of the kids were shocked. The bus driver told his grandmother that he was no longer welcome on the bus.

That summer I had just gotten by first 10 speed bike, it was expensive and bought with my own money. Was riding it around. As I passed the corner onto my street this kid that was a well known bully jumped out of the bushes of a neighbor kids house across the street from his taunted and threw a rock at me. He missed so ignored him and rode on. Later he and the kid that lived in the house both taunted and threw rocks at me. They both missed so I just kept riding. Remember thinking I was going so fast they couldn't even hit me. Pretty happy with my new fast 10 speed racer.

Later as I went by the same house they threw rocks at me again. This time one of them hit my new bike and chipped the paint. That really pissed me off. Went back jumped off my bike and they ran into the kids house. Yelled that if they threw any more rocks at me I was going to beat them senseless. The bully's bike was in the driveway, as I passed it I picked it up and threw it across the yard. Got on my new bike and rode off.

When I went by again some time later the bully very purposefully picked up a rock and threw it at me calling me names. I immediately went on chase. He ran across the street to his house. Caught up with him just as he opened his front door. I landed with both feet planted on the back and kicked, launching him into his house. I turned and started walking back to my bike. His Dad jumped up out of his lazy boy and came out. I didn't look back, just kept walking. The Dad yelled at me to stop and he was going to beat the ship out of me. I thought yeah right, like I'm gonna stop for that. Again didn't turn around, just kept walking. The Dad kept yelling and said he saw me getting off my bike and picking on those boys. As I got on my bike and started riding off I yelled, If you saw them you should have stopped them from throwing rocks at me.

I went home deciding to give up on riding my new bike for the rest of the day. About 15 minutes later the kids Dad shows up at our front door. I see who it is and tell my Dad who it is and what had happened before he answered the door. When Dad answered the door the other Dad started ranting an pointing at me on the couch. Dad didn't let him in. Instead Dad walked the man the block back to his house and returned. When Dad got back he told me I shouldn't have any more problems with those two and if I did to not do anything but to come get him. Don't know what Dad said or did, but thought it was weird that Dad walked him home. About a month later the bully and his family moved away.
