Bully deterrent: Steel Toe cap shoes
I never had that much trouble with bullies at school. The last couple of years the bullying dropped off to almost nothing.

Maybe it was because I had grown into a 6 foot, wide shouldered, long haired metaler. Maybe it was because I had a pair of shoes that I used to kick plaster off walls whever bullies were around.

I loved my steel toecap DM's. I used to kick everything with them. From walls to railings, bottles to bricks. Within a couple of weeks of owning them they'd developed a nice corrigated look and I'd had to take a hammer to them to knock the steel back into place and stop cutting my toes with the edges.

The bullying stopped completely once I accidentaly kicked my mate in the balls, causing him to pass out for a good 10-15 seconds. (I was aiming for his stomache)

Lesson: To discourage bullies, get some steel cap boots and demonstrate them infront of said bullies. Would you want to fight someone that can kick holes in walls?

Now THIS is a variation on the old 'I totally knew karate and kicked their asses' lie.

This story is not a lie
It's true. I didn;t get into fights. and apart from the "kicking my mate so hard in the balls he passed out briefly" time I never got in a fight with them.

I did make a point of kicking stuff when bullies around cos it did discorage them "Leave em, he;s got steelies" was a phrase I heard a few times.

I had 2 pairs. had to replace the 1st pair after I had mashed the steel up so much that they cut a long line across the top of my toes, I did try banging them back into place but they were too far gone.
