I'm a former middle school principal and I hate and avoided the word "Bully" and "Bullying". It is one of those words that is insanely overused and thrown around. In most cases, kids engage in relational aggression and then one kid takes it too far (intentionally or not) or can "dish it out" but can't take it. There are some cases where kids will single out the "weird kid" but that is far more rare than relational aggression and much easier to identify and punish. The parents of the those aggressors usually are mortified by their own kid's behavior unless that kid is being raised by sociopaths.

I have a former school principal in my family and he is very similar in attitude to you. Interesting that it might not just be cops who are all bastards.

Congrats on dropping the ball and never improving, I'm sure the "weird kid" students appreciated the lack of support.

If you happen to be the weird kid, it's not rare at all.

Glad to know my middle school principal dropped the ball even harder than I previously thought.

Well I can definitely say the word "former" is the only worthwhile word in this entire post.

"I hate and avoided the word 'constipation.' We have occasional irregularity." No, you're just full of shit.

You are the thing this post is making fun of.

You were part of the problem. I'm glad that's past tense.
