re: #165 Alouette

I was horribly bullied in elementary school. It had nothing to do with race, religion, gayness. I was short and nerdy and four-eyed and got picked on.

All of the above, plus I was a “sick kid” and the bullies knew that I wouldn’t/couldn’t fight back.

I was getting picked on one day and he was pushing all of my buttons, and then he’d throw this in: “Whatcha gonna do? I’ll punch you in the chest and give you a heart attack!” (Pretty much impossible with my heart defect, but bullies aren’t brainy)

Well I had had it up to HERE and I popped him, right on the chin! Not very hard, but it caught him by surprise…

…. and his head snapped back and hit the metal pole he was leaning against. There was an audible DING!; he looked at me, his eyes crossed, and he sat down!

Then he fell over and puked.

I was never bothered again. But if it hadn’t been for that metal pole, I probably would have gotten my ass whipped.
