Why Did They Knew Their Weaknesses?
People roll deep in numbers only because most participants in that crew are hiding their weaknesses. Maybe some were just d***riding. Pone and I stayed true to the game. We weren’t about rolling on people or picking on people. We lived through the struggle and kept things real. Rumbling a guy one-on-one would solve the drama almost immediately. It was the first line of defense for real men. If you got your ass beat without talking smack, then you would take it as lost and move on. If you talked smack before fighting and got your ass beat, then you were really weak and looked weaker even after the beatdown. These clowns at my school weren’t about that life.

These jokers were just fronting for the ladies. I'd call them out whenever I saw one of them alone. They would bitch or run to a teacher and tell them that I threaten them. A guy from that same set named O had some words for me following my cousin’s rumble with his man. He called me out while I was in a chemistry tutoring session with Mr. Perry and some other students at lunch. I took the challenge, walked up to the dude and began throwing down. Mr. Perry came out to break it up and got hit in the face while I was throwing a punch at O. He wasn't mad at me because that guy O started that incident. Mr. Perry told the disciplinarian exactly what happened. I wasn’t suspended for what had taken place.

The speech was given at an assembly during school as a part of a school-sponsored educational program in self-government.

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Our unalienable rights must not be broken or destroyed by anyone’s judgments on how we are supposed to live our life. That is why I ask you ladies and gentlemen for you to stand up against bullying with me. This can happen to anyone primarily targeted simply because of their race, body size, sexual orientation, or any type of difference not accepted or judged by a group or a person. Bullying consists of different disturbances; physical, verbal, indirect, and cyber bullying. Physical bullying is considered any physical attack; kicking, punching, shoving, taking or damaging belongings. Verbal bulling consists of name calling, insulting, making racist, sexist or homophobic comments, remarks or teasing, just to name a few. Indirect and cyber bullying go hand in hand when nasty, hurtful, rumors are spread behind a person’s back, now most common through any electronic media.…

    The fight happened just after my P.E. class. We were all in the locker rooms, (me in the boy’s locker room obviously) and we had just finished changing. Another of the boys by the name of Bryce, was the one who gave me the most trouble. He had started ramming me into closed lockers by shoving me with his shoulder, using all his force to push me into it. Each time he did that, he backed away and got farther away before he darted towards me again. Finally, I had grown tired…
