Bunk. The boys didn't like the shirt. If it wasn't about the shirt color being perceived as girly then this story is meaningless.
Is it any business of theirs what color the younger boy's shirt was? Does that give the punks the right to gang ujp on him and threaten to beat him up?
The only way you can say the bullies wouldn't have stopped is if you can show they have a violent history. Since we are not talking about a detention facility, I assume they have no such history.
Bullies, if unapposed, very seldom cease their behavior short of accomplishing what they set out to do -- physically harm or humiliate their victim. THAT IS VIOLENCE -- history or no history.
You admit that they are bullies/ Well, look at a couple of definitions: bully 1. : a person who hurts frightens, threatens or tyrannizes pver those who are smaller or weaker. 2. a fine fellow, or other similar definitions.
...group of six to 10 older students who mocked him, called him a homosexual for wearing pink and threatened to beat him up.
Isn't that violent enough for you? Do they have to beat the kid to a bloody pulp before you will quit patting them on the ass and defending their vile behavior?
It should be news to no one that pink is considered a girl color. Outside of a brief time when it was fashionable for boys to wear pastels, it has been the case that boys won't be caught dead in pink my entire life. Ask the general public if it is a good idea for a 9th grade boy to wear a pink shirt for his first day at a new school I'll bet no one of any age will think it is a good idea.And I'll bet you that damned few of them would pujt up a strong and consistent defence of a gang of 6 to 10 punks picking on a kid -- hoimosexual or not.
Sissies. They’re all still sissies. Why don't you go tell them that face to face?
I have done so many times.
I have done so many times. 1. All 400+ of them? 2. How'd you do it so fast -- it only happened a couple of days ago?
Yuk, yuk...you are so full of wit. You know what I meant. You go ahead and defend men in pink and boys with purses and bath house guys. Clearly we don’t have enough crybabies in our society.
