Rob and Carol, good points but unfortunately school is a proving ground and fighting back may be only this kids best option...
I am NOT an advocate for violence but I am in a field that routinely deals with this stuff.
(BTW I have a minor in PSY and a degree in Admin of Justice AND I am finishing my Nursing degree at UHH)
I see it first hand and have dealt with it first hand. Adjudicated youth, case managers, probation officers, etc etc. Worked with them all, seen it all. I worked with youngsters from all the Islands and sometimes all the "book-psychology" just did not apply...
Then again, I grew up in L.A and routinely had to throw from the shoulders because thats the way it was. Sad but true...
