Intelligent bullies are the most scary of the bullies. Thankfully, I never had one of those. The ones I had were more brawn over brain (although even if they had arm noodles they'd still be brawn over brain.)
I'm actually disgusted with myself for letting them successfully frighten me to the point where I had no self-esteem/confidence going into secondary school. Of course, when that happens you find that you strayed from the devil you know and realize that there's worse people out there.
Thankfully around forth year I decided to lash back at one of my former tormentors. The bullying stopped for a while. Believe me when I say that you really can't set standards when messing around with scumbags like that.
