Lol what do you mean by 3 kids 'came at me'? Because kicking someone in the nuts for walking towards you sort of seems like provoking a fight.

I'm not saying you're lying I'm saying that in the majority of cases, bullying isn't solved by kicking a random kid in the groin.

in some cases it might actually make things worse, as people might be out for revenge, or cause you to become a social pariah, or even get into trouble with the police.
