He's always wore sketchers. Like since he was 4. Recently, he got really emotionally taking about shoes he wanted for middle school. He said if he doesn't get Nikes he's going to get teased. Great fucking marketing work Nike.

Kids tease whomever they perceive as weak.

If he get the shoes, it's the wrong model. If he get the right model, it's his hair color. Etc.

    The kids who tease have severe insecurities, they are dodging and deflecting and pointing at other kids so that no one looks at them

    They do not tease folks perceived as strong
