It's really crazy how this works. We are all thrown in school together in a class with various other kids that are approximately the same age right? And it is just supposed to work..... There are so many factors to consider. Some kids are late bloomers and some are early - thus adding to the gap. Some kids are well -off and others were born into poverty. Some kids are born cute, and others must grow into their appearance. Some kids are graced with good parents, and the others are forced to figure it all out on their own.
The interesting part in this whole thought is that each one of the possibilities is out of the child's control entirely - yet it is up to the child to deal with their circumstances how they see fit.
Is this the same way that other species interact? Do the cuter turtles pick on the little weird one with big feet? Do the rich donkeys pick on the poor ones for not having designer sweaters and make them cry?
Did the dinosaurs have these types of issues? How was their society formed? How do we really know anyway? We can speculate.... make assumptions, but nobody really knows for sure. Maybe all of their vehicles and televisions were confiscated by the Mammoths - we all know what kinds of bully's they were! And they were incinerated as a punishment for using too much electricity. Just because we haven't found any of their belongings doesn't mean they didn't have any! At least it can be fun to leave that little area open for discussion!
