Dealing with Bullies

When a bully, (usually the typical schoolyard bully, mean girls, etc.) torments the hero/heroine or someone he/she loves, someone has to take a stand. This usually happens for these reasons: Ignoring a bully's taunts is a typical way to overcome them, but more often than not, the most common way to deal with a bully is to stand up to him.
 * To protect a loved one/friend
 * To defend oneself
 * To win a lady's heart
