RE: 6 girls beat up 16 year old; two boys keep watch
I'm glad that the offenders are in jail. I hope that they stay in there fore a long time and I hope the victim's parents sue the offenders' parents for everything they have. I hope they set an example. My father was an abusive, mean, sadistic bully who frequently badmouthed me, never said anything good about me, and sometimes hit me. One time he started hitting my face so I punched him out. I gave him a big lump on his head. He bothered me a lot less after that and he never tried to hit me again. He ruined my life with all his abuse. He had programmed me to feel worthless, helpless, and undeserving of a good life, even though my IQ is 140. I ended up with chronic & severe depression and was a chronic failure because of him. I tried therapy and antidepressant drugs, but the therapists didn't know anything helpful and the drugs were not a solution or a cure. I cured myself of depression using lots of self help books and good nutrition. After that, I started reading books on how to become successful. Now I have my own business and I'm a lot happier. It's still hard to not think about the people that abused me, but I try my best.
