Do You Really Believe You're Better Than Me?

I don't give a shit who you think you are or what sense of self-importance you give yourself, nothing ever gives anyone the right to mock others for who they are. A little while ago at Gilman, a kid got in trouble and ended up leaving the school because he snapped after from what I understand to be incessant bullying from several football players. Apparently, the kid wrote f___ those football players on something. Although the football players had little evidence who the writer was, they essentially tortured this kid into a confession by putting him in a headlock until he confessed. When they released him, he ran from them, crying, and screamed f___ n_____. Although because of our oversensitive society, these comments seem completely uncalled for. I am not condoning or justifying his choice of words, but it seems like the faculty has forgiven the football players who instigated the whole situation. One member said: "Most days, there are at least 10 freshman at a time in headlocks." Does this make the behavior acceptable? These guys drove this kid so far that he completely flipped. This situation just reminds me of a Titus Andronicus quote: "If I could say only one thing with the whole world listening, it would be 'Leave me the fuck alone.'" That's what I don't understand about it. Millions of people every day have to suck it up and take much more personal insults than these football players received, but because of their sense of entitlement, they are too proud to let it go.
