Just who defines "how to act like a human being"? That kid was human. You as a kid were human too. (And, you probably still are ...) That seems to be the basis of your hatred, not the harassing or unwanted hanging around. That behavior could've been a byproduct of your treatment of him. I've had friend who had friends, some of whom I learned later didn't want me around, without any apparently justifiable reasons. So, I think lawyers would call this statement of yours arbitrary and capricious. We're hearing just one side of the situation which may not represent reality. So, how did you and your friends define "[acting] like a human being"? Was it intentionally exclusionary of this one kid? I.e., it's far more likely you discriminated against him, for looks etc., instead of him being a bully, although that happens too. It would also seem that you never also found out why this kid was doing this. Perhaps, most of the other kids wanted you and/or a friend of yours gone and were using him to do it ... Rod Pemberton P.S. If you can't tell, you're way off-topic of Forth.
