Hey, I get it.. I was both a victim of peer pressure and bullyinhg as a kid
but, all in all the friendships I did make in those years have made it all
worth while. The people who negatively impacted you are probably people who
didn't have solid social interactions when growing up. (I am not defending or
excusing their actions.) One of the bullies I had to endure was the son of a
wife beating a-hole. I feel sorry for him now, and how I handled him in the
end, but I do see you side.. and I still worry about how this pandemic will
effect the kids who become aware (2-3 years old) during it.. maybe they'll be
fine.. maybe not.
