The kid (my age) up the street caught it and while he lived he had to where braces and use crutches. We were about 9 and myself and a few of the otherkids use to take away his crutch and taunt him.
We were such as*holes as kids. I cringe when I think of some of the things I said and did.
I'm sixty-seven, and still feel pangs of guilt over things I said and did when I was young.
Hell, almost all kids are assholes. We all were. One of the important things about growing up is learning right from wrong. Parents have to teach kids these things, and are many things kids have to learn on their own.
I got bullied quite a bit of a kid, but in an odd way, it’s Part of me in a good way.
I kind of like underdogs, and helped me in my relationships with other people. I treat people like I would like to be treated generally, and I didn’t really careFor being bullied just because I was uncoordinated and wore glasses.
I have often thought that those black plastic glasses (what we called in the military “birth control device glasses, or BCD glasses) We’re simply bully magnets, like a cello case.
