This is what I thought as well. I would have thought he could have leveraged it and brought some good out of it, but that sort of thing probably didn't occur to him or his parents at the time. It would have been very difficult to look for the roses amongst the thorns back then. EDIT: reading the article intro, and the fact that he is now a law school graduate, I can't help thinking if perhaps this is step 1 in starting to leverage his worldwide fame. A law firm specialising in prosecuting bullying behavior in workplaces, or something similar? I hope it is the case and he manages to leverage the laughter into real success.
