The Bad and Good of Bullying
I've had a few experiences with bullying in my time. The trick with bullies is you have to hit them back hard enough to discourage them from doing it again. The first time, this bully picked a fight after school. Well, I managed to get him down and then just started kicking him, over and over until I was sure I wouldn't be having any more trouble from him. Must have worked as I never saw him again.

Shortly after that, I was dispatched to military school. Things went OK for a while but there's always some kid who'll try it on. This one tried it in the showers. Luckily, I was wet and slippery as he tried to grapple me and I managed to slip away. A quick blow to the nuts and then to the face and he was down. I made a real mess of his nose and there was blood everywhere. I never saw him again either so obviously I scared him as much as the first one. He must have been real keen to get out of there.

On the upside, I did manage to get the Earth fleet to the Formic homeworld and wipe those Buggers out entirely. Result.

Thought it would make a change from Star Wars

Erm...
Don't get it. Guess I've not seen that TV show/film/comic.

What is it?

Ended's Game
Good series of books, but it kind of went downhill after the third one.

Typo there :)
It's Ender's Game. And I think it's being made into a movie so keep your eyes open for it.
