      It’s the kid on the bus who keeps shoving the quiet kid over and over and over, but it’s not big and flashy so nobody notices. Nobody listens. Nobody cares.

      Then the quiet kid punches the bully in his goddamn rat face and suddenly the quiet kid is the problem child.

      The problem existed long before the quiet kid fought back, and they knew, it was just ignored by the people who could do something about it until it was too late.
