New Ambassador..... Stay tuned

Sometimes you cant reason with people. Good work i say.

I was around 6'-2" and 165 pounds in high school. I had motor issues and i was clumsy. I spent a lot of time in physical therapy. Got picked on a lot because I was very gentle and didn't approve of fighting. Got fed up with the bullying one day in 1981 and just beat this one mean bully to a pulp. When he went down, i kept throwing punches into his back and the back of his head until a teacher pulled me off. I think that the frustration of 10 years of being picked on just boiled out that day.

My Mom came down and the school didn't get the reaction they were expecting. She brought a whole handful of Polaroids of my injuries marked with the dates and times she called the school and reported the same kid and the school did nothing.

The kid's Dad was in the office ranting and raving, but he got quiet when he looked at the pics and I still had bruises from a beat down I took a week previously and my Mom made sure everyone saw them.

All charges against me were dropped and one teacher and one counselor resigned in the ensuing investigation when it was revealed many other kids were being bullied and the school did nothing.
i get it..when you are naturally passive...there just is a point when people push you..i took the beatings pretty well at an early age..but think when i saw others being bullied..something sparked inside..sometimes just someone stepping in can diffuse it,,i was blown away by daughters stories of HS..the girls even, gang beatings in the bathrooms...my heart hurts when i hear others are hurt....
 
^^^^^^^^
Quality peeps right there.

I feel for you, I grew up as the older brother of a special needs child, I have a few scars from those assholes.

Nothing compared to what my poor little bro had to go through. I wish I could have done more.

I'm tearing up just typing. Never have i spoken/ posted in public on this subject.
