[Grover]

I've been in one 'fight.' I was 12 years old and was picked on mercilessly in middle school because I had food/eating issues. One morning before classes I was at a desk in the back of room while three other kids continued their fantastic streak of bullying me. I had finally had enough, stood up from the desk and punched one of the kids square in the mouth. I've still got a scar on a knuckle from connecting with his braces. It was one of the most gratifying feelings I've ever felt in my life. The kid was so stunned by the punch, as were his friends that I was able to get away before taking any shots myself.

We were dragged to the principal's office and sent home for the day. I called my mother for a ride home, she told me to walk the 2+ miles. So I called my Nana, who immediately came and picked me up, congratulated me for standing up for myself. We got ice cream and she bought me a Lego set.

Ah the halcyon days of youth...
