Did not have many problems with our son as he now stand 6'2" and 190 lbs of muscle and bone (Going to Aspen in a couple of weeks for his marriage to a lovely young woman), but he was not always that size.
I gor hazed quite a bit, my left arm is not too swift as a result of a breech birth, plus all the later tests claim my IQ is on the 99th percentile boundary, so I was always called "Professor" and not as a compliment.
Lots of introspection in my childhood, lot of being alone. The world is not a kind place, and maybe that is the way things are, but I will NOT buy that attitude. I will offer a hand to anyone who is down. I will try, albeit with limited success, to try and live as He taught us to live. Maybe one candle in the dark will not shed much light, but it will burn. Perhaps one day it will be as Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote;
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night:
But, ah my foes, and, oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.
