Being raised in a family where both mum and dad was abusive towards one another and towards the me verbally and physically affected my confidence and made me a passive boy at school... where i became an easy target for other students and teachers. Crying was a daily ordeal in school. It saddens me and breaks me from within to even see my younger brother being bullied before my eyes and i hadn't the courage to stand up for him... i was broken inside. It was in my personal search for identity and true manhood in God that my heart was restored. For once, i could properly teach my youngest brother how to fight right, defend himself and yet stand in the principals' office without fear. It wasn't blind, crazy fighting. It was fighting for defence with strategy and to build his courage, I got him a pair of boxing gloves and a target and we trained to 'Rockys' theme song. I told not to hate the bullies cause this is their foolish outlet to their own abuses and not to fight with rage but to fight to defend oneself like a man and seeking the help of authorities after that. My youngest brother won his fights agains the bullies. They now fight him no more. Truth was i could fight for myself too and i'm not afraid to do so.
