Man - you grew up in such a sheltered world. The real world is much more cruel for most of us. You might have said you were a "tiny kid" but you were truly never at odds.
I was constantly beat up, physically, until I was 16. It wasn't just by one kid, it was often by multiple. This was even in front of teachers, principles, etc. They watched and did nothing. Other kids watched and did nothing. We don't all get to live in nice communities.
Other kids could pick me up by the neck and choke slam me down into the ground and did so. I wasn't able to do anything about it because I just wasn't that big. If I had done anything to fight against it - I would've been expelled.
It's different when you're a small brown kid in a super racist small town America where your average parent is absentee and on meth half the time.
Don't give advice when you never got into a physical confrontation to begin with. How fucking privileged.
- progrus 4y agoDude, you had a problem way above and beyond what is being discussed here, and way above and beyond what most boys face. Sorry. I hope you’ve been able to deal with the trauma, and if not, I sincerely hope you find some peace with the world soon. If you can get into a martial art, that’s the best suggestion I can offer. It will help you heal. Also, you have to realize that insulting me and dismissing my experience just because you were so badly abused is another kind of bullying. Don’t fall into that trap.
