I know this is the first time i've made a post in a while, but first i'd like to express my sorrow towards your dad's situation. I don't know him, but I know you turned out great so he must be doing something right. Next, I know how you feel. If your ever feeling sad or lost-I can always be reached. I went through the same stress when I was in 6th grade. I was constantly bullied by this kid on my bus (Let's call him "dave", of course i'm not going to use his real name). Dave broke my nose, made me bleed twice, and was just a general mean kid. I really wanted to beat this kid down, but dave was 3 years older and much stronger and larger then I was. I thought my life was over. I thought dave would never stop messing with me. I just got fed up one day and told my parents, and they contacted the school immediately. At first I thought it would only get worse, until the principal stepped in. "dave" was suspended from school and the bus, never even knowing who or what hit him. So in the end, I sort of did "hit" him, but he just didn't know it. When dave came back from suspension he was placed under supervision at the front of the bus.
Well, that's my story. Remember if you ever need to talk I'm here for you brother. I had a lot of bad stuff happen to me lately too. I'm doing alright now though =) It will get better. Trust me. Believe US.
