I was sorta too stunned to reply immediately. I was tempted to yell back that he's short, but by then his mom was giving him a stern talking to. She opened the heart-to-heart mother-son lecture with "Hey, what's wrong with you?" So the mom seems cool.
Well that's easy.
He's a little shit.
Rule number one about kids:
They can be dicks more frequently than adults. Probably because they've not long come from one (compared to you, at least)
Not a good rule though: They may be like that because that's what they've been exposed to (or, lacking any discipline or knowledge in that regard) or because they just found it different from what they know.
Adults are different. They are more often than not, expected to know that. :/
...my life is going fairly well, to be honest, but reading this thread always makes me feel guilty. In some bizarre way. Like, "Why is my life going so well when all these people have so much shit to deal with?" I wish I could help all you guys, so much, but I can't.
I believe its due to the external variables of one's life (ie their environment rather than themselves) which is more of a cause of that...stuff.
Also yeah you can: Advice!
Morale support!
It'd surprise you how much that can help. Many people believe they're fighting all that stuffs alone, and nobody cares about them... :/
A kind word does wonders for people.
Sad: I'm still mourning the loss of my USB. Had some drawings for friends. Can't replicate them perfectly here.
