As an adult, I admit that I have gone a lifetime with someone bullying me. My previous job, the owner was worse than a bully. He was abusive monster who went out of his way to make my life miserable. He denied me over $8,000 in wages and NO ONE would verify that I worked these hours because they were afraid to stand up to him. I did stand up to him, which made him treat me horribly. My current job is dealing with immaturity on the owner and his kids part.
So, I know what the kids are going through, today. I know what it is like for people to stand by and do nothing.
