For some reason I'm sort-of-but-not-really a middle school aged kid again. It's like, I'm seeing things from his perspective, but I'm not him. Anyway, apparently, the day before this kid had had a friend come from a different school or area and spent the day with him in school. She ended up getting harassed by the local bully, and the kid had twisted the kids arm to the point of pain to get him to leave her alone.
Naturally, he got in trouble, but it didn't stop there. The part that was my actual dream, the kid was in class, and the teacher was a really big hippy type, all for pacifism. So she was digging into him, and the whole class was playing along, taunting him, and trying to make him feel like shit. Finally, he had enough. He stood up, and gave a big speech about how it was right for the principal to punish him, as he'd broken the rules on fighting, but what the teacher was doing was wrong. He hadn't pursued the kid, he reacted to the guy's unwanted advances on his friend, and though he hadn't handled it perfectly, he hadn't pushed farther than necessary.
After that, one other kid in the class stood up for him, and the teacher got all shamefaced. That's when I woke up. Crazy elaborate dream.
