The first step is to examine an old document to see if a random footnote reveals the secret location of an antimatter bomb set to blow up the Priory of Scion in their secret lair in the Vatican. ... Wait, what?

The key is: If you change what's "bothering" him, he'll just find a new behavior to use as an excuse. He doesn't want you to change, he just wants an easy target.

Poor Ozy. Trying to crack Jeremy's (simple) mind is like trying to pull a cement block up an icy hill.

Not really. Most bullies don't like somebody for a specific reason. That's why they pick on that person and not somebody else

I really think some people are just beyond comprehension. Though I suppose Jeremy would feel the same way towards us.

Even if that's the case, should this person change to conform to how the bully thinks the world should be?

Some people are very strange, and it wouldn't hurt them to be more normal. This isn't always the case but sometimes it is.

[Bocaj Claw]

Normal is a very loaded term. What exactly would you define as "normal"?

[sandblaster]

Something that deviates so far from what is generally considered normal that it singles that person out in an extreme way. For example if a person likes to wear all black, that isn't too bad. If the person wears all black, white face paint, has a mowhark, 16 peircings and vampire teeth then they are a weirdo and should be more normal.

Where is Isolde with her camera when you need her?

Or they could be trying to express themselves in a creative way in a society that is becoming increasingly conformist. Tragically, these anti-conformists often conform to each other.

[sandblaster]

There is a difference in expressing yourself because you believe in something or genually like that, and rebelling just to rebel which is normally the case.
