I was working when my step-son approached me. He's been having multiple issues with bullies at school. He whined, "Step-Dad, I was getting picked on at school again." He went on to say that the bully stole his money, backpack, and even ripped up his homework. And, as always, he wanted me to call the principal again .

I feel bad for him, I really do, but he needs to grow a backbone. Step-Dad can't always fix his issues. He needs to grow up. After enough whining, I decided to teach him how to toughen up. I punched him in the stomach, and he instantly bent at the waist, "Step-Dad..." He tried to catch his breath.

No bully was going to hit him harder than I would. I hit him over and over as he panted for air. If he could take it from me, he sure as hell could take it from a bully. He grunted in pain with each hit, and I wasn't going to stop until he grew up and acted like a man.

The next time he saw that bully I expected him to fight back. I wanted that bully to know he could take a few hard punches to the gut.
