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.

    I don’t know about now, but back in the 90s the magical out was that you punched them in the face.

    Back then the concept of a school shooting didn’t exist, and parents didn’t threaten to sue the school every 5 minutes.

    So teachers would just let the fights go.

    “Oh, Billy tried bullying Bobby, and now Bobby punched Billy in the face? Eh…call me when they break bones and spill blood. I’m going to go make popcorn.”

    These days? I’m sure both kids would get expelled.

      Yep. I was poor and weird but I was also 6 foot tall and pretty big. Its amazing what one really good punch to the face of someone does to your rep for the rest of high school.
