People rarely push me around, most likely because of my size (6'4 and 220lbs), but the ones who still do definitely gets a taste of their own medicine in the end Though it also depend on the situation sometimes.
I'm not pushed around too much.  I am 6 feet 4 inches (a bit under 2 meters) as well, and that's a fairly intimidating size I suppose, but I only weigh a scrawny 175 pounds, so I guess I'm not really big enough to be truly scary.  I usually never get bothered, but I don't think anyone is actually scared of me either, because I'm pretty passive and never get physical.

usually, but when I'm pushed hard enough I push back.
A couple months ago a guy who was about 150 pounds heavier and a good 5 inches taller pissed me off, and I got right in his face and told him to f*ck off.

I’ve never gotten into a fight for two reasons. I hate to sound arrogant but I’m very respected in school and around my local community. Second reason being I’m already a 200lb muscled-up guy.

No -- but it's much easier to resist getting pushed around when you're a grown man. Life gets much less confrontational after high school.
 
Physical threats RARELY happen in adulthood (plus I'm 6' 3", and over 200 lbs), but when people are deliberately rude to me, or try to take advantage, I speak up in no uncertain terms.
 
BTW, I like the way you empathize with your teacher, Stoney.Clap Trying to teach unmotivated, ill-mannered young louts is a very tough job!

No. I'm a very peaceful person and I'm always cool with everyone so there's no hate going on.

I was pushed around in my teens. I always wanted a quiet life, and I lacked confidence. I think once I had 'grown up' I found that confidence that literally everyone else seemed to have from the age of 13. So, no. I dont really get pushed around these days, but sometimes I dont know when to shut up. I speak my mind and upset people with meaning to.

I've never really been involved in a fight. I'm only a shortarse, but apparently I look like a dangerous criminal. That probably accounts for why most women run a mile from me too.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
