There are a few things that are universally hated and despised more than bullies; bullying can take on many different forms and wear many different hats if you will, and from a parents’ perspective sometimes it is very hard to identify when a child may be being bullied. Everyday hundreds of thousands of parents all over the world drop their kids off at various venues from skate parks to movie theaters and assume that their child’s safety will be ensured.

This is not always the case, especially when you consider the fact that a teen is often very hesitant to talk to their parents about what is going on in their lives in general and much less eager to do so if they are being bullied. The skate park is a very common place for a lot of teens which can be a very positive and healthy environment but anytime that a large number of people are gathered it also opens up the doors for bullies.

There are only a few things that a bully needs in an environment to thrive and that is a person whom he can easily intimidate or feels is not as popular as he is, an open space with little to no authority, and a large crowd that he can entertain. The skate park is a perfect venue that houses all of the aforementioned elements.

What we see below is a bully in a prime environment to do what he does best…act like a jerk. This time, however; the young man that is on the receiving end of the bully’s shenanigans has had enough and decides to take action.
