regarding bullying. This is about how a hated filled, ignorant ass acts. He's not displaying bulling behavior, he IS displaying his own mental illness. Parents do not teach kids to be full blown asses, this is an adult who is pissed off at the world for any reason or no reason at all. He's a gigantic ass and loser, not a bully. I taught 1st graders for over 15 years and I am experienced in child behavior. My 6 years old students never acted like this due to poor parenting skills. Neither did the 6th graders I taught for a few years.
