Yes, excellent points Chris but admit it - what you really mean is you'd be glad to see them dead.

I have to admit, i was really hoping a few of them would take a swing at me so i'd have an excuse to beat the holy living fuck out of them. I'm a pretty patient person, but there are times when it would seem easier to just throw them out a window and do the world a favor.

I think murder is the answer here.
A murder of crows to do your bidding.

Give them some weed as a peace offering. Weed with
glass in it.
Throw some poison ivy in there for good measure.

It is clear to me now that Vikings are the answer to all of your problems.
Yes indeed.

Honestly, these kids are little fuckheads, but I was probably a pretty serious little fuckhead at some point too. Maybe you were as well.
If it's at all convenient to get any of them alone (one on one), and talk to them...let them know what they did, ask them why they did that...in other words, get them to think about their actions in something other than a "Fucking Cool! I Fucked That Dude Over" sense, well, in my experience, they cool it about 70% of the time.
If that doesn't work, a ski mask and a bag of oranges.

Thanks for your input everyone.
A few points.
- I have to admit that mostly I've been entertaining the idea of reacting violently. I haven't been in a fight since I was a kid and to be honest the thought scares the shit out of me.
- These kids aren't that bad. I'm not worried that they'd have knives or anything.
- Taking pictures of young boys may be too weird.
- I don't think class or even upbringing can be blamed. I grew up in the same area. Several of my cousins are in prison (two sharing a cell for armed robberys). I fucked up in school because I smoked too much weed. I'm from a single parent family. But I've never been abusive to strangers and neither has my little brother.
- The last couple of days I've used a different bus stop but I can't avoid them forever and I shouldn't have to.
The idea of image intrigues me. A few people mentioned appearance and I guess my body language does suggest that I'm not too confident. I'm often aware of myself bumbling along with my head down, hair in my face. Simply walking more upright can't be enough though, surely? For the last year I've been talking about shaving my head as well as getting contact lenses. Perhaps now I should do that, I might look less fuckwithable. Though, again, I shouldn't have to do that.
Tomorrow night is my friends house party. These kids are usually in the area right outside his house. Hopefully they'll be around and if they see I have "boys" they'll back off. Infact it would be perfect if they were outside because the sight of me walking out followed by 20 or so lads would send them running. That's just wishful thinking though.
Anyway, thanks again for everyones input. If you have anymore opinions, please keep them coming.

Seriously, go over the fuck one of them up. Really beat the shit out of one of them... make sure you talk like a moron while you do it so if they give evidence against you, you can say "sorry officer, but "innit" isn't how I would speak, they must be lying to you."
Pick the smallest one and teach the little prol fuckers a lesson.
