Kids are cruel.  I don't really know any better way of saying it.  One
of the schools I went to there was a girl whose last name was Snell. 
The kids would chant to her <firstname> Smells, <firstname> Smells,
incessantly...  I didn't do much heroism stuff, but I did quietly be
friends with the picked on kids.  Of course, that generally kept me out
of the popular cliques, but some days I didn't think that much of a
hardship.  And this wasn't a large group, either... maybe 15-20 kids max
in the grade...  There were just some kids that HAD to look down on
someone else to "live"... (I was thinking of saying "feel good" but
that's not really true... "feel superior", maybe...)  Actually, I should
say, people are cruel... but adults usually find ways of making it more
subtle... :(

... I'm a bit crazy. Not that I really needed to point out that out.
