Gus,

My father was a boxer as a teen ager. He became a police officer about the time I was born. As my brother and I were growing up, he taught us to box by the time we were going into 1st grade, I'd guess. It sounds like I was much like you in those grade school years, no one punched me without taking much worse back. Later, my brother became my responsibility, as well. Although he could take care of his own problems, I was more than willing to step in and "beat the crap" out of anybody messing with him. I grew up thinking I was tough.

Then I joined the Marine Corps. I saw up close what tough really looked like. I became considerably more humble after that. I'm just happy to say I haven't been in a situation that required me to punch anything since. Hope you and your son work through this.
