I doubt the boy who slapped me on the school bus 30+ years ago remembers, but I haven’t forgotten the embarrassment I felt at the time. It’s a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, but it’s very humiliating for some of us.
Here’s some free advice, get over it.
A few days ago I saw two boys and two girls walking down the street. The boys kept kicking the girls in the rear, would go on talking, then stop a few paces later and kick the girls again. The girls seemed to think this was normal.
That’s when I knew I was old. I felt like pulling the boys over and reading them the old fogey riot act about how to treat a young lady.
I’m with you. I can’t imagine having someone slap me on the back side as a kid. I’d have slapped the daylights out of them and been terribly humiliated. What these kids did reflects a lack of respect. But I don’t think it’s criminal and I think the punishment way exceeds the crime. They need to figure out an appropriate discipline for this and administer it consistently when needed. Then drop it.
Let go. Get over it.
I was made fun of a lot in school. I had some embarassing things happen. But unlike you I grew up and stopped whining.
