My husband raised in an Italian area of Chicago. Blonde blue eyed kid. Same for him. Beaten on a regular basis til accepted. He grew up tough.

It's no joke being messed with when you're 12. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. I'm glad they've clamped down on bullying.

I learned to be fairly tough I guess but I didn't like it. Some guys I knew were beaten really badly. One kid lost an eye. That's just psychopaths getting away with criminal behaviour.

I found out that one of my abusers became a bouncer on the West Coast and some dude sliced his belly open with a knife.

Karma you bastard.

Often boys with that kind of anger have been abused at home. They continue into adulthood. Very sad. Yes Karma!
