There are irritating people in the world, and a teen can't learn that the correct way to deal with that is a "beat-down."

Right on N550G,I'm in your corner on this one.........Most of the guys know I've got 2 sons that were labeled Mentally Handicapped when they started school in the late 60's ........My youngest son Robert's IQ was 79,My oldest son Michael's was 91.....They didn't have any provisions for them when we lived in Cape Coral,Florida,that was because the state was heavy populated with retirees and they voted down "all" school programs,including teacher salaries(first statewide teachers strike)....... They attended school in the same class as the other kids,and were teased a lot but never hit or beat up.........We left Florida and went back to the Chicago suburbs and were then able to have them attend the SE program......They both got thru Grammar and High School and both are now working jobs in maintenance and on a assembly line.....Easter Seal Foundation help our sons with special training in speech therapy,math and english........ The middle son Tony's IQ is 148,he's in Mensa,BA and MA degrees in English and American Literature and is currently the Director of Sales,Penn State Press..........All three of my sons were also "special" in Hockey,they all made the All Star teams in their various divisions every year from Mites to Adult........
