Bullying has always been my pet peeve. Being one of the biggest or the biggest kid in my class, I've from time to time, taken the opportunity to offer my services to the bullied kid. The bully tends to re-evaluate his options when the playing field is a little more level. They thought they were tuff when they were picking on the little scrawny guy, or the fat kid. Man, that pissed me off! I've always felt bad for the ignored ones too. You know, the ones that talked funny, or weren't maybe quite as bright, or came from the "wrong side of the tracks". I always tried to include them. Usually, everybody from the popular ones to the ignored ones, found that they all got along pretty well. Everybody had something to contribute. Man, the group I hung out with, was a pretty cool group of people. Loyalty was pretty big back then, we could always count on each other, no matter what. I see my daughter's friends, and how they interact. There doesn't seem to be that loyalty as much anymore. They all just go with what benefits them individually the most. It's weird. Now they make plans, and then nothing happens, it's like, "oh, so and so came by and we decided to whatever" No contacting , no nothing. Man, you didn't do that shit before. You stuck with the original plan, or you made it happen for all involved. Loyalty doesn't mean shit anymore. Oh well, I'm done ranting now.
