Hi TRP,I have been a reader for about 5 months and this subreddit has taught me alot. Before I get on my FR I want to say that I am not even close to alpha but I will be showing a situation that happened today and it would not happen if I hadn't read TRP. I am a begginer and I realize that I maybe didn't make the best choices.

So I was your average 16 year old nerdy boy,I was BP as fuck thinking that I only need to treat girls well etc. There was this bully in school,he is like taller and pretty stronger than me. He literally just walks past you and smacks you as hard as he can. He has been doing this to a few other weaker guys. I have a short temper so I don't take that shit often. I realized I was overweight and out of shape,slouching,holding my head constantly down,never looking anyone in the eyes. I took 2 weeks off on any kind of candy,chocolate etc. I started doing cardio and lifting in my house, I think I did the best I can. I come in school on Monday and he is there. He is a pretty big guy,definitely taller,and not obese but definitely overweight. Those 2 characteristics combined mean I cannot take him by pure physical force. I read a lot about fighting but It stated that everyone has a weak spot.

As I am sitting in my chairs he comes from behind and hits me on the back. I wait as he walks past me,get up and do the same to him. It gets pretty messy as we fight but I manage to land a few punches into his adams apple and he quickly thinks he is choking and lets go of me. Allowing me to do a leg sweep and knock him to the ground. Cue in laughter and cheering from my colleagues. He surprisingly does nothing to me afterwards,I avoid him in school and class and he avoids me. A week or two pass and he congratulates me on a grade I got we shake hands and I think I gained a lot of respect from him. I just remembered that today when I was with my beta friend the same bully said "hey! thats my spot" (I was sitting in "his" chair,but I dont think it was his. I just said "no its not" and he walked away and took a diffrent one. Beta friend was amazed

None of this would be possible without reading about alphas and self improvement and I want to thank this sub for that. I would still feel like shit and get beaten by him

PS. He still bullies other kids and one of my friends,I question should I step up when he does that.

EDIT1: Why all the downvotes?
