I hate bullies! Being smaller than average and moving from a little town in upper Michigan to a Detroit public school undergoing segregation in my junior year of high school was definitely a bad decision on my part.

I think the character "Tanner" from Bad News Bears pretty much sums up what life was like for me in Detroit! LOL!

Thank God I never lost my sense of humor or my willingness to stand up for what's right.

My heart goes out to that poor kid and am saddened by the fact that there was nobody there to stand by his side.........

Good post and I'm saddened by that also. I was just bragging about my son yesterday concerning this topic. He is a young man in his twenties now.

I recall a day when he was in the first grade. He told me that day that they were having sports olympics of some sort. There was a small scrawny kid that I suppose was considered nerdy. Nobody wanted to be his partner. My little boy told me proudly how he jumped forward and said "I'll be his partner!"

I was so proud of him and still am!
