Why was I the only kid growing up who had gutts?

I remember from 1st grade to fifth grade, I was often picked on, so when I was challenged and won a fight or fought back, the kid would go crying to their parents and I would shrug it off. My way of thinking was: don't get the parents involved. I laugh at all those reports of kids who sue after they are douchebags who can't hold their own or win a fight they started. The only time i cried was when i was beaten up by a 7th grader in 1st grade, not because of pain, but you know that feeling when you're absolutely helpless? yeah, well that was how i felt, couldn't do anything, therefore i saw it justified for telling on people if they're like 7+ years on me, but if it's a fair fight i man up. Like in elementary, all the kids would call their siblings after I would win, and I wouldn't. Even when i lost, i didn't ***** about anything. Also i'm not violent, therefore unless someone directly threatens me, or calls me out, i won't even consider fighting them. I'm not a kid who had anger issues, but the way I saw it was, be a man about everything and don't get pushed around, stand up for yourself. Am I the only kid that didn't insult people, then get beaten up and go crying to mommy? And people love lawsuits now, any reason to put the blame on yourself or your child.
