Learning new techniques part 4

Heather was a little nervous waiting for her mother but was on such a natural high she barely cared if she'd get in trouble. Her mother then walked in and sat down next to Heather. She says to Heather "I know your brother has been picking on you for years and he can be a jerk to you. He is so much bigger than you so I can understand why you kicked him there and it is probably your only real defense against him. I shouldn't tell you this but when I was about your age there was a boy at school that constantly picked on me and I did the same thing with about the same reaction." They both giggled a little bit. Heather's mom continued "but did you really have to kick him that hard? Based on his reaction you must have kicked him like you were punting a football from your own endzone. If you kick a there to hard you can potentially rupture his balls or kick them up into his stomach and he will have to go to the hospital to try to retrieve them. Boys are just so incredibly sensitive there. If you had even kicked him half strength he would have been down for awhile and probably crying. Boys at that age cry pretty easily when you hit them there. If he picks on you again I would say don't kick him there but I know you still have to defend yourself. Just you don't have to try to kick them up into his throat again. I told him not to pick on you. I think the pain you put him humbled him and he won't be picking on you anytime soon.

Heather did understand what her mother said but the main thing she took out of it was her mother's story about how she kicked a boy at school. Heather also had a couple boys who tease her at school quite often. One in particular was Rich who was the leader of the group of boys who teased the girls. She couldn't wait for school on Monday.
