I WAS the "bullied kid."
And at the time, my parents handled it by saying I should "ignore it."
But ignoring it in hopes that it will stop in time can only go so far.
When it became impossible to ignore, I did the first thing any sensible person would do and that was to tell someone about it.
But every time I did, all I got was the runaround.
Eventually it got to a point where I saw no way out of the situation, but to react violently.
Sure enough, that got me suspended from school for a couple days.
Still, it's all in the past.
The experience of it may have come and gone, but the memory lives on.
