Wow, a new and exciting time is coming for you..
First off, if you are really serious about not being a victim, there are plenty of things in high school you can do for free to help.
5'5 is an awesome height for a wrestler. They will help you learn how to fight, get your in phenomenal shape and help you develop friends. Best of all it is free. Check out your high school wrestling team.
Martial Arts are great for learning to fight. (Certain ones) But honestly, you don't really need that my friend.
You will find out quickly that High School is much different than Middle School. Guys are more concerned about girls then picking on people, and everyone is generally more mature. Not to mention there aren't nearly as many fights in high school then there are in Middle School.
Seriously, 120lbs at 5'5 gives you a real good frame for high school wrestling, they can make a beast out of you. Not to mention give you a team of guys that will handle anyone who wants to mess with you.
The muscles you will get from the conditioning will help you a lot with the ladies as well.
So relax, calm down. There are few fights in High School, they are broken up quickly and dealt with quickly. Guys are more concerned about trying to get laid then to mess with anyone. (You will be too).
Enjoy your summer and look forward to seeing all kinds of girls with ample boobies, if you want to get stronger join wrestling. Later on in life you can take up Martial Arts and the lessons you learn from wrestling regarding leverage, athletic training, and discipline will help you that much more in Martial Arts.
There is no magic pill, no magic bullet. In order to learn how to fight, you have to fight and fight often. Many Martial Arts allow you to do this through sparring, as well as teaching you solid techniques. Very few things can be learned in 2 months.
Besides, as I said. No one really picks on each other that much in High School, everyone is more obsessed with trying to get girls.
It's some of the best years of your life you are going in to. Enjoy them and good luck to you my friend.

There is no magic wand or secret place to seek out that will do this for you except your mind. I was one of the smaller kids in my class all through high school and I won a few fights as well as lost a few. I really did not get into that many although maybe you go to a school where people are more aggressive and not very nice.
If I were you I would take a two fold approach to this. Enroll in a martial arts class and it will help give you more skill, confidence, and self-esteem and a different outlook on all this. You say you are not all that scrawny in your question here. Toughness starts with how tough you are mentally-not just physically and I know some very tough "little" guys. They usually don't go around trying to prove it all the time either but if you push them the wrong way-they will prove it.
Second, avoid those situations and people whenever possible that require you to match your physical abilities and toughness on a regular basis for stupid reasons. People like that usually get into trouble, are often times bullies, and don't usually have a lot of real friends or a happy life.

Like judomofo already mentioned, you have a great frame for a wrestler (or a grappler for that matter), but wrestling is an excellent suggestion as it's FREE, the benefits are already mentioned by judomofo.
There is not magic trick, or website that will make you a good fighter, a good fighter is determined by several factors, some of them are:
good reflexes
adaptability
speed
strength
aggresiveness
training (realistic)
The only way you can be strong is by working out.
I'm also 5'5 , but I'm 190 lbs, training is what helped me developed muscle and strenght.
I hope this information was useful
good luck!

Sorry, there's no magic way to turn you into a karate master in two months regardless of what you've seen in the movies. In watching "The Karate Kid" today I can see holes in the main character's defence and offence that you could drive a truck through.
The only way you can do this is through time and hard work. If you don't want to put in the work, which will include muscle conditioning then there's no hope for you. Either you do what's necessary to reach your goal or you don't.
It's up to you.

Hum.
Well there is NO magic way to just BECOME good at fighting and think you're safe. If you are really serious, ask your parents to enroll you in martial arts or self defense classes. Also, what makes you think that you're going to get beat up? Do you get beat up now?
One thing I can recommend, now this isn't the most politically correct answer, but it usually works. If you get in a fight or are confronted with someone who you are sure wants to fight you, DON'T back down. Even if you lose in a fight, if you put up one, its far less likely they'll want to fight you again. Bullies want easy targets, not people they actually run a risk of getting hurt by. Now don't go picking fights either though.
So Mr. Himura, I hope this helps.

Maybe making friends out of enemies is better than having to fight them. And you are still growing! Enjoy the summer. Don't waste it worrying about what may never even happen. Think how many generations of people have gone to h.s. and survived. Moving up to high school is a big event, but you'll do ok when the time comes.

A dojo (or boxing group, or wrestling) will help you develop practical strength. Look at professional boxers. There are many who have "knockout" punching ability and look like wimps, and others, LIke Evander Holyfield, who look strong but couldn't knockout a 12 year old girl with 3 free punches. Strength is 90% technique, 10% muscle.

id say start with your diet and sleep schedule. eat tons of protein and drink only water. don't skimp on fruits and veg and all that stuff. the more you eat the bigger youll get, and protein builds muscle. get at least 8 hours of sleep. sleep is great because it allows your body to grow.
now that your in high school, take weight lifting class and if you want to know how to fight, join the wrestling team. if you want people to respect you, you could also join the football team.
the first person that messes with you, you have to get even right there and then to build some respect. even if you loose, they probably wont mess with you because they know that youll take it to them.
good luck

Go to a dojo. There is nothing you can learn on the net that will help you with your problem.
