[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 296245, member: 1991"] Steroids are a definite possibility - he might be determined tat nobody ever is gonig to beat him up again without him at least getting a chance to leave his own mark on them. I do think he must have some level of PTDS after it, added to a sense of guilt and shame for not fighting back. But I think you're right - it was a good thing for all that he didn't. I don't think he would be any better off. The long-term bullying could well be a factor - it may have followed on from it (some kids never grow up and will keep tatgetting those who they feel they can successfully degrade, in order to make themselves feel less beaten-down) or it could be cionnected to drug deals/favours he was doing re drug supply. Or it could have been another 'dealer' objecting to your son's trading leading to competition. Or - who knows? The result is not good. As for the kid who owns the beers you took out of his car - I would tell your son to let the owner know that he can come collect the beers, as long as he brings his parents with him (as they will be legal adults, you won't be passing the beers over to someone under age). That way you won't be able to be acused of holding on to somone else's property, plus you will get a better idea of who your son has been drinking illicitly with. All information is valuable.
