He’s always wore sketchers. Like since he was 4. Recently, he got really emotionally taking about shoes he wanted for middle school. He said if he doesn’t get Nikes he’s going to get teased. Great fucking marketing work Nike.

    Kids tease whomever they perceive as weak.

    If he get the shoes, it’s the wrong model. If he get the right model, it’s his hair color. Etc.

      The kids who tease have severe insecurities, they are dodging and deflecting and pointing at other kids so that no one looks at them

      They do not tease folks perceived as strong

        Probably true. That would explain why those bullied are so eager to join the bullies when the bullies set their sights on somebody else.

        Or, as the saying goes, Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
