What is the point
What do you prove
How sad and alone
For the things that you do
Where are the parents
Where is the school
What ever happened
To following the rules
Who can I blame
Should it be you or me
So many excuses
Let’s toss them to the sea
My heart goes out
My pain runs deep
As the bullies win
And little bodies sink

I was 105 lbs as a senior in high school. However providence was in my favor. Another kid another who was much larger and bullying me at the lockers. My friend ‘Vic” grabbed him and slammed against the lockers. That bully never even talked to me again. He was around 180 and I was a robust 80ish pounds.
Another of my friends worked out over the Junior year of High School was ripped. Once victims the tide has turned. I now have 16in biceps and I am 58 years old. Today I hate bullies and love to bully them if I catch hurting the small, defenseless young and old.

Bullies have serious issues. So messed up how they carry on to hurt others to give themselves a false high of superiority.
Bullies suck!

yes they do but I have pity for them as I believe they are so insecure and feel so unloved that they believe they have to act that way, but that is as far as my feelings of pity go. They are still responsible to make good and bad choices.

I am sorry you were bullied. I was not the well known bullied as we know it today but I was called names constantly due to being chunky

Yes I am sure it was many years ago. I can’t imagine a flea bullying a nice guy like you today. Although it was years ago a tiny bit still remains with us as a soft spot
