Ocean City - A friend’s son was bright and quiet, but he went to school with boys who were brighter and wittier. All of their age had emotional weaknesses, but the wittier boys found the new boy’s and exploited them. Externally, he never showed the pain they inflicted, the classmates went undetected. Time passed and the boy grew bigger and stronger than his classmates. He developed fists of iron with which he beat the tormenting classmates into submission. His aggression left physical signs and drew vocal criticism. This a true story. Who was the bully? How does this parallel our society today?
