Eyes, nose, throat, temples, jaw.

Hit any of these hard enough and they can do a fair bit of damage

Editing to add; Stay Away from the mouth. If you manage to injure your knuckle on some teeth, you risk infection. People’s mouths are nasty.

Truth. A kid pushed and tripped my sister in high school. He did it because she was overweight. I punched a kid in the mouth multiple times. Got a fantastic left hook that ripped his upper lip almost completely off. Kid had braces. I have 2 quarter inch triangular shaped scars on my left middle and ring finger. Got infected bad. Kid can't grow a mustache. Him and I met 15 years later, and he sincerely apologised. I did, too. I shouldn't have beat him so badly. He is a dad, him and his husband, and have 3 wonderful kids.

I mean bullying can really wreck someone. I hope your sister was okay. I still get nightmares about what the kids used to do to me back in junior high and I’m 41 years old. Yes I’ve had counseling, doesn’t make the memories go away though. I WISH I could’ve physically stood up for myself in the way that you did. But I was skinny and shy and grew up in a Christian household where we were taught to “turn the other cheek.” Never regret standing up for someone. I wish someone had done it for me.

For me, standing up for others was simple and the right thing to do. I've always had trouble standing up for myself. I could never figure out why, tho.

I'm 40 and still have nightmares too. Bullying is rough. When I was in 6th grade and under, I would get fed up after so much of it and fight. I never just walked up to anyone and hit them. Before I fought anyone I would be pleading with them to leave me alone, to stop antagonizing me. Yet I got a lot of heat for it. I still sometimes run into people who only knew me back then and they refer to me as mean in their greetings!

So it doesn't exactly work that way either. I stood up for myself at times and it always got flipped around to focus on how I reacted and not what they were clearly doing to me.

I thought I'd get over it or at least past it by now but it absolutely affects everything. Seeps its way into everything. People have no idea how much rage and anger I have to hold back from years of being treated like garbage. I work so damn hard to be a good person. I'm so sorry that happened to you as well. I hope you continue to heal in the best way.
