Pore little feller./s
Somehow, being short, skinny and non-athletic didn’t compel me to pick up a gun and go postal on my tormentors at school. It never even occurred to me.
“...short, skinny and non-athletic...”
So that was YOU?
I will admit I can understand the motivation. I saw some kids get picked on to the point I expect the have issues 40 years later. It’s why I raised my boys to stand tall against that, talked to their friends about being men and stand tall …. Not sure if it helped anyone but I hope it did. The one issue when 3 boys in 8th grade physically (my opinion assaulted) picked on a boy in the locker room - I told the principal that the police (who were called) would be called to his house because I was now holding him personally responsible for the behavior in that locker room. The benefit of living in a small deep red state redder town. Everyone knows everyone.
