Ah yes, the being tormented! A 'fun' part of childhood!
I kicked the one boy who did it the most while I was wearing cowboy boots as hard as I could. Mother told them if they had stopped it, maybe he wouldn't have had his shins kicked in.
Having to deal with chikdren made me realise how hard it sometimes was to be a child. I think it was sometimes easier being a boy, but just like later in life, i didn't really enjoy spending time with guys. Like my friends are nice and cool. Random guys, yeah no thanks. But also, girls can be just as bad, in a different way. Like they are really skinny, and do sports like soccer and muai thai, and we hike a lot. One day a girl came home and asked me if her legs were fat, because that's what the girls in school told her. Her sister who dresses similar as her identical twin got made fun of because she's wearing pants instead of a dress. It's often shit they saw on tik tok.
