Been there, got through it. I'll be frank with you - it's not easy being pushed around by people, especially groups, I know that from my own experiences. I was bullied from 1st grade of elementary school till about 8th grade.

My advice? Learn from it - if not today, then tomorrow. Putting up with it is something you should do, but only if you know how. T-nex said something interesting in the above post, about how the weakest are filtered out - it's either that, or they see you as a threat. Whatever the case might be, you need to stand up for yourself. You'll end up taking a beating, sooner or later - it's inevitable. You can either turn it into an experience that you can learn from, or something that really gets the better of you.

One good thing I learned from all this; if you're outnumbered - go for the loudest one of them, strike first and scramble like a wasp. At least you made a point and he'll think twice before going after you again. If he does - rinse, wash, repeat.

Most importantly though, the best things are learned in hindsight, I think of the people that did these things to me and I remember how most of them just vanished in the end - I never see them and they don't bother me anymore. From what I've heard, some of them are failed, miserable fucks who aren't getting anywhere in life. I know I'm not one of them. Bottom line is - things get better. If you can't enjoy that they beat the shit out of you today, at least make sure you're able to enjoy the punches you threw at them. You'll have stories to share.

Things are bound to get better, but only if you endure.
