Heh, I know what you mean actually. Some of them never change.

I guess the more important thing is that
you grow up, and realize how truly pathetic they are. Consequently, if anyone tries anything similar to you again, you'll know exactly how to deal with it.

So, the way I see it is that it all comes down to experience. Sure, it's a bad experience, but it's one you won't forget, and hopefully one that you'll learn from so that if it ever re-occurs (which it usually won't), it won't hurt anywhere near as much.
