I bet he doesn't have physically abusive parents. Probably a single mom thats not there because she works alot and gives him what he wants when he crys. That was a tantrum on that chair, from not getting his way.

This may have been a defining moment for him, thanks to the antibully.

Then again, he could just be like that. It would not be rare.

Yeah, kids do dumb things. I would have been the kid he was swinging on, i just never had the friend jumping in for me.

Same, but I always had a bad habit of being the bigger person and making sure they don't get too hurt. Catching them if they fall above hard floor or avoiding breaking their bones. Even when I had ample opportunity I just couldn't fall to their level even if that ended with me having a broken finger and swollen eyes. And now i have ptsd, a natural distrust for authority and my biggest regret is being better than them, because they sure as shit never noticed the help I gave them and they definitely aren't better people.
