Today, a neighbor's kid decided to pick a fight with me because I'm "the new kid in town and need to learn who's in charge". When I told him I'm 27, he said excuses like that aren't going to get me off the hook. I just moved here and I'm already being harassed by a twelve year old. FML

Hello everyone, OP here. I have enjoyed reading the comments, they are all very amusing and gave me a good laugh. In response to the Karate Kid comment, I actually practice Tai Chi, Qigong, Sword Fighting, and other martial arts/ weapon combat styles. Sometimes I do feel like the Karate Kid, especially with this latest development in my life. Because of my martial arts training I believe in self-defense and since all the kid hurled at me were threats, I am not too concerned. I don't think he believed I was above the age of thirteen until I drove in my car today and then you should have seen his expression. It was very amusing. I tend to look very young for my age (hey I'm not complaining) so people tend to think I am in my very early teens all of the time. I was even denied access to a lot of the casinos at Cliff Castle not too long ago because I looked too young to be on the casino floors. At the end of the day I had to wear a stamp that confirmed my age to even be allowed on the casino floors so in some sense I can understand why people mistake me for being so young. In response to the question about living at home, I happen to be a working professional, those years are behind me now. But there are definitely days when I wish that I was still as young as people like to think I am. If I happen to see the kid's parents I'll let them know about his behavior so he doesn't treat the other neighborhood kids the same way. Thank you for the support in all of this. No one should be bullied no matter what age they happen to be. I hope this will inspire other people to stop bullying in their schools and neighborhoods too.

Take a shit in his sandbox. That'll teach him a lesson he won't soon forget.

Some kids need to learn some discipline.

why are you worried? can't you just flick him?

Tell the kid's parents that their son is a douchebag.

tell this kids parents he's threatening you and if they do nothing and he does it again you are gonna defend yourself and it may mean the kid in the hospital for being a thug

Don't take that punk seriously, and if he touches shove him.

because you cant hurt him, just try to beat his dads ass thats should teach him a lesson gudluck :)

And that's when you just stand there and watch him try to hurt you with his little baby fists and then laugh in his face. There you go, a simple solution to embarass him without having to get physical.

So punch him in the face, i hear bullies dont stop till they ginally get beat up.

Tell him to meet you at the monkey bars and to bring the candy. Or else.
