I have the same problem with my son at school they often pick on him he doesn't like to fight he is very peaceful my partner and my brother insist on teaching him to box and I don't think I solve a problem with violence, but at the same time I feel that if I don't let him I disown him the father's word they are very calm men, but if you bother them you will know what violence is I like to sing and dance I even got to sing in a band choir my best wishes to Smallsteps
Perhaps boxing might not help the picking on, but perhaps it teaches discipline on how to respond. Emotional control is far rarer than physical strength.
What is your favorite type of music to sing, and what is your favorite type of dance?
