I looked in the article to see what the disability was. “Anxiety” was mentioned. I don’t think the boy was in a wheelchair due to cerebral palsy or anything like that.
The blood looks like a hit to the nose. Only a few weeks ago, my 8-year-old cut his finger while trying to cut up an apple. The kitchen looked like we’d butchered a chicken: blood *everywhere*. However, the wound didn’t even require a bandage: just a couple of minutes of direct pressure.
As I said, I’m not fond of fighting - damages the furniture, for one thing - but it is not anything new.
So, in your opinion, only being in a wheelchair qualifies a kid as being disabled...
I was in a few fistfights in school, but never THAT much blood...
TC I saw boys fight when I was in high school and I NEVER saw blood like that on the ground! Most of the time it was just “macho crap” and them raising their “Dukes” at each other in a stand off that ended up in a wrestling match on the ground until a male teacher pulled them up by the shirt collar and drug them to the principal’s office.
Really the worst fights were by the girls and that results in hair pulling and hair being every wear and maybe torn clothing but no blood.
The blood I saw here? NO I’ve NEVER SEEN THIS!! Not in my day anyway.
As for this boy having anxiety? Maybe he did? Had panic attacks? Felt like his heart was racing? That can feel like a real heart attack and it’s not fun. Probably had to leave class and to “calm down” Stress/lots of things can bring it on.
perhaps his anxiety is the result of being bullied?
