It is true for most of us in this age bracket.

But. When you swing hard enough to break the little shits nose, it doesn't matter that you got suspended from the bus, sent to the principal's office for additional discipline, and publicly mocked in class by your two male teachers.

The daily gauntlet for you ends.

Years later, you'll run into the little shit at the post office and he'll apologize for what he did and actually thank you for "teaching him to respect women".

He'll ruin that apology by then immediately asking you out because he heard you were available again.

But small steps, yeah? There's always more to learn and you still have a mean swing.
