Cruel as it was, it probably worked better that way for us as kids than
to let our parents step in every time we got made fun of for being a
"cripple".

You know, I read an article recently in which a researcher was quoted as

saying we need to let our kids learn to deal with bullies - you  know, 
let them toughen up.  It seems we are raising a generation of whiny 
brats who can't deal with the realities of life.   I have to say I kind 
of agree with him.
