How stamp collecting saved a bullied boy

 

My friendZ--  This is a personal message, so you can know me better.  I was born in New Jersey in 1949, the son of an aeronautical engineer who was designing remote controlled weapons for the Defense Department at Ft. Monmouth.  But when I was 5, my father decided he did not like designing weapons of mass destruction, and he realized that he would rather save people than kill them.  So he became a missionary to Brazil. 

And I lived in Brazil until I was 14 years old.  And while I was there, I came to realize that I had always been homosexual.  There was NO traumatic experience like being molested that turned me gay!  I had always since I can remember only been interested in male anatomy-- girls had NEVER interested me, and I know for a fact that I have been gay ever since I was born!  For whatever reason... 

I was home schooled by my mother with Calverts Correspondence Course until 8th grade, when I came back to the States to live with my grandparents for 8th grade before I went into a private Christian high school.  And when I was in Brazil, since I was 8 years old I had played around seXually with the Brazilian boys and Indians who were my friends.  And there was no stigma attached to that, and I am sure that all those boys who masturbated with me have turned out to be upstanding citizens with families.  Or gay radicals!  Or so I hope... ;-)

But when I got into 8th grade in Wall Township schools in New Jersey, I got hit with culture shock!  I had never heard ANY American dirty words!  I did not know the meaning of "fuck" or "shit" or "piss" or "faggot"!  And I had never been in a gym class, and I did not know any calisthenics, or their names.  And I was mocked out SOOOO bad in gym class!  I HATED gym!  All I had ever played was soccer, and these American boys did not even know about it!

And one of the boys in my class, who was a very good cartoonist, and my main bullier, started writing a cartoon strip every day about me which our teacher allowed him to show to the other students.  It was called "Crispy and the Jungle Bunnies," and it showed me surrounded by a bunch of cartoon-stereotyped African natives with bones tied in their hair around a big pot over a fire boiling a missionary in a pith helmet.  

And there was one other bullied kid in my class, who was also gay I think, and they called him "Sclipse", because the cartoonist said he had big lips, although he was a white kid.  And he made a story about us, Crispy versus Sclipse in the Battle of the Jungle Bunnies", and every day the kids in the class would follow it, as did the teacher!  

Actually, it would have been quite interesting, if I were not the one being mocked!  But one day, I happen to mention to my tormentor that I collected stamps.  And he said he liked stamps, too. And we began to compare our stamp collections, and brought stamps to school. 

Then one day, after we were in the showers after gym class, that kid asked me to stay when the others had left.  And he started to jack off, and he got it hard, and he asked me to play with his dick.  And I was totally paranoid that we would get caught, but my sexual urge overcame that, and I jacked him off in the showers that day.  

And after that, there was no more cartoon strip.  And we became friends, and I was not bullied any more!  

From that incident in 8th grade, I have come to realize that sometimes those who bully other kids just do so out of envy, and they wish to be as free as they are.  And I am dedicated to fighting bullying in all walks of life!  Because we are all the same!  And from that kid who bullied me, I took my internet name, Crispy!      

Your friend,
