You had bullies? That sucks. I never had to deal with that despite being a geek. Those jocks would talk shit when there was a few of them and I was with a couple of other nerds, but none of them would have done it one on one. People would pick on me a little but nowhere near to the point of bullying. One kid came close in third grade, and I punched him in the nose despite the fact that he was at least a foot taller than me. People left me a lone for the most part.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
