I'm still the same angry man but after some soul searching I will tone my anger down. People only do what they are taught and growinig up the insecurity of those in my school allowed a few to torment me. The teachers had no idea how bad this was and when I went to them they dismissed it by saying they can't control how students treat each other. That was in the 60's and my belief is that the same attitude still exist. How can violence in schools be controlled, you confront the ones that due the tormenting. Yes it means confronting the popular they are popular out of fear. I survived elementary school, I was the student that everyone teased. It followed me every year untill I moved to a new town. When I enrolled in a new school I was terrifed that I would not be accepted and after I had a few days of no torment I became part of school and was happy to have graduated. This is who I was in school and having a handicap was not how I wanted to be remembered. But no matter how hard I worked it seemed to never be enough. We are always seeing the horrific handicaps that others have and yes I have sympathy for them and what they go thru the only thing is that it wasn't a picnic for me. The thing that is important is, I survived.
