Good to hear it, seems a lot of earlier generations I know of (parents to be precise) never gave a rats @ss about these situations, and the kids who had to deal with this crap, were left to fend for themselves, I know it all to well, no other siblings, brothers, broken up family etc., just had to go it alone, and deal with it. It can be a genuinely rotten thing sometimes.

Not every kid is going to do well with something like this, it can be real hard on a kid, and at that age, aren't you just supposed to be a kid ??? I have a penchant anger towards this crap too, and even today, I'd stop at nothing to set a situation like this straight, jerks like these rob kids of an irreplaceable time of their life. It's an adults responsibility to look after those young ones when it comes to this.

Somewhere back in my youth, while wearing a military school JROTC uniform, there were times that I had to take public transportation through the nearby city to get home, which meant transferring buses, walking etc., you were not too cool having to wear that uniform, learned to bring a change of clothes real fast. Myself and a friend walked through a bad neighborhood, (whites in a black neighborhood) damned trolls came out and we had to fight our way out and run, while a mob gathered, then chased us, throwing bricks, I dropped a few dollars out of my pocket, quickly went back to pick it up on the street corner, a brick landed by my head, and I could see 30-40 blacks (no lie here) with sticks and weapons running down the alley by the bus garage, we were darned lucky my friends grandmother lived on 8th street, and was home, they followed us right to the door, she backed em off with a 12 gauge, and if that was not enough, the hells angels owned a building next to her, they were friends/neighbors, and took no crap. To this day, I can't imagine what would have happened if she was not home, and the police officer that arrived soon after sure treated us nice, he knew the deal and what could have happened. Not an easy thing to deal with as a youth, all that just to get home from school if you played sports or other extra curricular activities, no late bus, you were on your own and sometimes it was a real lonely situation.
