Wow! What a confession. I'm glad you got to see William again and know that he is doing fine. I was one of those kids who took the picked-on schoolmates under my wing. I was fortunate to live across the street from my elementary school. I had a friend that was bullied all of the time. I have no idea why the kids were so cruel to her. I told her to get ready to run, and I'd tell off the bullies before we made the mad dash to my house, where I stood on my front porch telling them what cheeps they were.
