And then they hit high school and realize they aren't so special, that average does exist, and more often than not you are average.
They can't cope, no participation trophies, and they snap and shoot up a school.
I remember gym class fights, cafeteria food fights, circling up at recess to fight, people are so afraid to work things out these days. Forget with violence, no, now words can hurt.
"Sticks and stones..."
Whatever happened to teaching kids that words don't hurt unless you let them, hell I remember the advice we got about bullies.
Punch them, even once, in the face. They might be bigger, and still might beat your ass after, but no one wants to get punched in the face.
He will think twice about bullying you next time.
