My name is Jimmy McCallister. I would say my friends call me Jim, but I have no friends to reference. My mum is a prostitute. I was one of her "accidents". She never told me this but I can tell. I have no idea who my father is, he paid the price and left. My mum likes to say she is a counselor. She says she help people when they are down and need to get there mind off of things. We don't have a lot of money.

We live in a small apartment. One bathroom, two bedrooms and a kitchen. I don't have the best clothes because of the financial state we are in. I try to impress my mum by getting good grades in school. She says she wants to see me go off to college and be better than she ever was.

So, I wake up every morning and get ready for school. I eat breakfast and get on the bus. When I arrive at school the first thing I get is a big punch in the face.

Someone found out my mum is a prostitute and decided to use that against me.

"Who's your mum sleeping with now?" They would say.

At school I had no friends. People thought I was a man whore "like my mum, only for woman". To be honest, I was still a virgin. No girl ever wanted to be with me.

So, I walked myself over to my locker feeling like a loser. It was the same everyday. Once in 8th grade I tried to tell an adult. The word had already got out about my mum. Instead of helping me, the teacher (who was a male), gave me his number and told me to give it to my mum.

Then last year in 10th grade, I told the teacher about my problem. She said she would tell the principal. The teacher did tell her and I got sent down to Principal Janet's office. She misinterpreted it and thought I was the bully. So, I was sentenced to three weeks in detention.

Yeah, I didn't have a lot of luck. So for weeks I would walk in, get "attacked" and laughed at. It happened for the next two weeks. My grades slowly dropped but I quickly brought them back up. My mum however, say the bad grades.

"A 'C-'!!??!!" My mum yelled furiously.

"What happened baby?"

"The kids at school happened and I'm not a baby." I said

"You're my baby!!"

I let out a little grunt "The kids at school are really annoying."

" I'll take care of them."

"It's okay mum. It wouldn't help."

"Let's see about that.

****************************

I walked into school expecting the same treatment. A punch in the face, getting my books knocked down, being laughed at, same thing everyday. Today when I walked in nothing happened. People didn't even take a glance at me. The bullies were absent. It was a weird day.

While I was doing my class work I heard the answer to the strange behaviour.

"Did you hear about the prostitute's son?" One girl said.

"No, what happened?"

"Well I heard that the mum called the parents of the kids who were beating him up and told them to stop. Then she went to the kids house and gave them a piece of their own medicine!!"

"Wow that's a strong mum." The other girl said.

"Right."

So I had figured out the mystery. Only I wish I hadn't.

****************************

"Mum!!!"

"Yes honey."

"I have to talk to you."

"Hurry, I have an appointment in an hour."

"Well,  I heard about what you did."

"Yes, it's all true. I did confront them. I had to protect you. Those kids needed to learn a lesson."

"How did you know what kids to look for?"

"Well I 'investigated' your school."

Then my mum and I had a heart to heart conversation about bullying and other things.

I learned not to let these kids get to me. My mum took up another jobs so I can get self-defends lessons. I have acquired some new friends. Those bullies don't bother me anymore, and if they do I
know how to handle it. This experience has taught me a lot.

Such as, to speak up, to never give up and work to stop BULLYING.

A/N: Sorry the end is so unrealistic.
