After I went insane on 'em, punching with everything I had, like a machine with no off switch, and totally whipped their little punk a&&es, THEY avoided ME.
Good life lesson.
And that’s wonderful for someone that strong at a young age. I was already being beaten down at home. Therefore, I also had no one to step in with the school as some here are advocating or suggesting. My parents’ advice (my father’s really) was to suck it up. Well, a young girl doesn’t always have the courage, mental or physical, to do so. This was especially ironic advice coming from the person who was doing the mental and physical beating down at home.
I’m not that same scared person as back then, but I am not where I could be or might have been either.
