evan said...: Trying to remember if I bullied...I was bullied a few times, but stood up to them (scared out of my mind). But that was then, when the worst you anticipated was getting beat up- now, there's this horrible escalation of violence to contend with.
Still, what I knew (somehow) then is true today. Bullies tend to travel in packs for a reason- it is because individually, they're cowards, & individually feel that they're lacking. They compensate for their own lack by standing on the necks of other people. Growing up (& I don't know if this is still true or not) the bullies in my school were either the kids who had everything & felt beyond reach of anything, or (mostly) they were the stupid ones, the ones held back so they were not only older, but bigger- back in my day they wore black leather coats & were generally labeled as greasers.

Yeah, sorry. Yet another wordy entry.; 21 October, 2010 09:46
