i was the tallest guy in my class until ninth grade. the bullies were always the little guys. after i crushed one i had no more problems. i didn't get expelled either. ;
why they want to pick on big guys is beyond me.
I can relate. For me, it was always some little f#ck a grade or two older with his buddies backing him up. I didn't care. I fought what seemed like every day during grade school. Big Irish/Chicago family, lots of close cousins. If there was nobody to mess with, we beat the crap out of EACH OTHER. LOL! Got my first bass after 7th grade, and people started to outgrow me, so I focused on my playing.
