As a boy, I think what drew me to Martial Arts was the demeanor Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee had in their movies. Both characters had their share of adversity both physically and mentally, but I always watched in awe at how calm they were under the most stressful of circumstances. They found their focus, did what they needed to do and then went back to their normal happy life.
Are you happy? Does the answer depend on when you are reading this? Are you a person that exudes happiness all the time?

Bullying takes many forms. It can be a threat, making fun of someone or not including someone in activities. It can be mean spirited or just distant and cold.
