Not a person on this planet that had the perfect childhood school experience. Nobody! Whole thing sounds stupid for all anybody knows could have been a playground contact game or crowded school hallway bump. I used to play basketball a major"collision" contact sport when I was in grade school. Does that make me a bully too! Get TF out of here all these idols getting swiped at around comebacks smells like extortion!
