Jim I could see that happening.
This stuff is very disturbing.
I was bullied in 6-7th grade because I wouldn't fight back. One day I had enough and got off the bus right in front of one of the kids that was doing it...younger than me. His brother was in my class and was bigger than me. Anyways I got off, turned around and beat the ever lovin SNOT out of him. First shot was right to the face. I literally beat the %$%$%$%$ outta the kid. Course then the two older brothers were after me non stop. I ended up having to transfer schools. I kid you not. It cost my parents $5k a year to send me to a Catholic Private school after that. But you never EVER saw any of that bull%$%$%$%$ in either St Michaels or Hudson Catholic High. The nuns didn't stand for any crap back then.
Was it right ? no. I don't know how I'd handle it these days. Probably the same way. I don't regret it at this point either.
But I can tell you this. I sympathize with these kids. I've had discussions with my 15 year old about this stuff and I think he's a better person now for knowing about it and staying away from the crap.
