Once I met a guy who told me he had been bullied at school... He was actually a good student but did not enjoy school. Instead he loved his music classes and found his best friends in this choir... later he became an accomplished classical musician and a very fine person. I asked him where he learned the most important life lessons, if he recalled some important teacher... and he answered he had the great chance to count with a family who provided more that lessons, guidance and support for him to choose his own way. Moreover, he had a few good friends and that was enough for him...
