Then when coach or teacher came over and got involved it was the little guy's fault.
Must come from different worlds.

When i was a freshman in high school, a guy okay maybe closer to 120 then 90 pound decided to he was going to make jokes about the player's mother being in the hospital during lunch. I knew that the jokes were distasteful but we were in high school and the jokes were funny. I don't know if there was any history between the boy and the player. All I know is after the second joke the player got up, punched the boy twice in the eye before he was held back by teachers. I don't remember what the punishments were. I do remember that the boy remained a kid who would crack jokes. He just did not crack jokes about the player ever again.
Cracking the most distasteful jokes were a regular part of my high school life. It is a regular topic of conversation amongst my classmates and peers that our children and their friends are so much nicer and kinder to each other compared to when we were to each other at their age.
