Bullying is the worst fear I have for my son and I know it will happen. He’s only 4 and kids are already noticing he is different. I’m so scared it will break his spirit. I guess the one thing I’ve learned is that kids who bully are ignorant. I would guess as adults they are ashamed of what they did and feel a tremendous guilt, especially those who now have their own kids. Thanks for sharing and I hope “Jay” can put the past behind him. Sounds like a great kid.
