Told my boys early on I would kick their ass harder than any kid ever could if I found out the picked on or bullied a kid. Never had to worry as both were very well liked brother's keeper types. They were atheletes in school, but got along with the nerds too.
I let them know it was ok to lose a fight if you are standing up for what is right. Just make the other guy second guess his choice. I don't think either of them fought more than twice each thru school.

Yup, if they know you aint gonna take it theyll go someplace else without risk.
Kids remember who isnt a pushover.
Also remember who is cool. Word gets around who should be left alone. At least within a school.
