    Richard Jenkins used to sleep in a homeless shelter and was nicknamed “Harvard” by bullies for being a bookworm. Now he's going to Harvard on a full scholarship.https://usat.ly/2LvYLFU

        Fine example of a bullied young man finding his strengths instead of turning a gun on his peers.

        Any particular reason why great achievements and stories like this aren’t on the news more often than the other penny dreadful bullshit? Maybe if more folks were inspired the world would be a be a better place

        Great story but I believe calling someone "Harvard" for always reading isn't deemed a bully statement or name drop..
