GREENWICH, CONN. — Bart Palosz was excited about his new Android cellphone. About week after he got it, a student in his freshman biology class picked it up and smashed it on the ground.
The bully cackled. Bart said nothing.
Bart said nothing when a bully pushed him down a staircase at a high school in Greenwich, Conn. one of the most affluent communities in the country. Not a word when classmates shoved him into the thorny bushes every morning on his walk to school.
In silence, he endured verbal attacks from peers who picked on him for his uncommonly tall, 6-foot-3-inch stature. His Polish accent. His extra weight. The pimples on his face. When they had almost run out of names and insults, tears would brim in his eyes, inviting a new round of taunts.
On the last day of eighth grade, Bart's forehead was cut by the corner of a locker, sending him to the emergency room for stitches.
