1- he's a guy they get over things
2- it shows bully's that he's strong
3- it says that the bully's will say omg I bullied him
4- he has shown then that he's better than them!
Hope this helps! :)
I don't think it was bad as all that. He probably got teased for being smaller than the other kids, or just being quiet or shy. Bullies only pick on those they think won't fight back, they won't go after bigger, or outgoing types. And besides, didn't Liam learn to fight back? So I'm sure He's got passed it.
