Picture this: a high school where a student named Jake, who has high functioning autism, bullies others without facing consequences. He targets smaller guys and girls, and the teachers don’t hold him accountable. One day, Jake relentlessly insults a girl named Lori, who has burn scars from a childhood fire. Lori ends up in tears, and a 15-year-old boy, fed up with the situation, finally calls Jake out. But instead of being hailed as a hero, the boy is now facing backlash and demands for an apology. Let’s dive into this story that has everyone talking…
