A freshman in high school, my 14 year old grandnephew recently encountered his first bully...

10. you somehow came away from this with a 'defense of bullying' ..?

Sigh. Here's a couple of 'lines' (and attitude) that had me a little less than enthused :

- snip - rather than attend the local school, little more than a funnel for future employment at the dying mall across town ..
- snip - Coming from a household that is struggling to make ends meet because neither of his parents made the most of their own educational opportunities ..
- snip - The teacher, a ball headed bull of a man who decades prior had starred at the local high school basketball powerhouse ..
- snip - one day being an engineer, of becoming the bread winner expected of him ..
- snip - The younger boy should have been proud of himself but he wasn’t. A harder judge of himself than any other is another trait I recognize well. W’s got it too

Bullying isn't point. Or at least not mine.
