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.
i can't remember about my past. i have this odd sense that i was just on some whole other planet. with the smart kids, i was a smart kid. with the greasers, i was a dancer.

ReplyDeleteStill, 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.
