By some quirk of fate, my post on the bullies at Fayetteville High in Arkansas is th #1 link on Google when you type in "Fayetteville Arkansas Bully". As a result, I now have some of the little darlings popping off emails and posting comments on my site defending bullying.
Reading these kid's remarks makes me really wonder about their parents.
I don't know how long it's been since you were in highschool, but you seem oblivious... Students would rather see a fight, than stop a fight. It's the all-to-real nature of most high schoolers. And if things haven't gotten any better from when I was in school (8yrs ago), then I know I'm right. The MOTHER should have done what was best for the boy and changed schools. Period. If it is that big of a problem, she shouldn't have let it get this far.
After 11 school years at Fayetteville, not once have I witnessed somebody get beaten up for minding their own business. Most fights here fall into two categories: Two kids have problems with each other or one kid doesn't know when to shut his mouth. Billie's fights fall into the latter. Believe it or not, people don't beat him up because he's a gentle quiet soul that 'aint never done no body no harm.'
He got beat because he deserved it.
