English bullies are not like those found in the US. One of my students went to an English school during his 11th grade year while his father was on sabbatical. A British Bully caught up with him and broke his arms and legs and the kid had to spend 4 months in a hospital. The Bully picked him up and through him down a double set of stairs. It is more allowed there. They would go to jail in the present time in an American Public school.
We used to have more bullies and more people eating crow in the old days. We are pretty soft as a nation now. Girls are much more aggressive in their fights now than what they used to be. Girls generally want to leave a permanent mark and understand the consequences so when they go they go for real.
