Some Things You Just Don't Forget Reflection

        In the article, "Some things you just don't forget-" by Matthew Berry, the author speaks his mind on the topic of debacle in the NFL involving Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin. He does this by speaking through his own experiences being bullied as a child. His stories varied from his lunch being stolen to his "friends" ditching him without a ride at a convenience store miles away. All, however, caused even the slightest tug of pity or sadness in our hearts. The images he depicted of himself as a scrawny, nerdy little kid just trying to fit in was enough to touch even the coldest of hearts reading. The constant barrage of harassment he receives can be described as no less than cruel and right before your heart is about to break for this man does he return to his original point. There are many who look at this situation and say Jonathan Martin isn't tough enough to play in the NFL. The truth is, most of those people probably haven't been on the receiving end of bullying. After reading this article, I have decided that doing what Jonathan Martin did took a lot more guts than people are giving him credit for.
