No, my point was that you've now become a man and you should leave
those schoolyard days behind you. We all got teased and ridiculed in
school for some reason or another. If you carry that with you for the
rest of your life and let it color your interaction with people,
you're carrying a lot of useless anger. I got teased (and still do,
mind you) about my weight. Should I spend the rest of my life trying
to hurt thin people because of what a few cruel and thoughtless kids
said or did 25 years ago?
