See, this kind of thing just didn't fly in the area I lived in. Parents, teachers, even the jocks noticed it and put a stop to it. To the jocks, picking on the nerds was cool, but beating them up (excessively) wasn't. I'm not saying that there weren't fights, but kids didn't get repeatedly beat up just because they were bookworms.
