The '85 Bullying[]

Paul warned Nick by saying "You son of a bitch. Bullying is fucking wrong and winners cannot bully someone, Nick. How would you feel if you bully me and you will get hurt, you monster? I am NOT crying. I am autistic and a young driver, asshole." He later talked to the principal in the high school, until he left the school at age 18. Later, his parents blamed the school for not solving the case.
The Fight Problem[]
- ❝If you saw a bully in a school doing something bad to you, tell him to not bully you and tell a bully to apologize, because winners, champions and race drivers would never support bullying. Police officers say that bullying is a very bad thing, and children would also deserve to protect themselves.❞
- — Pedro Miller, talking about the bullying
In 1994, Algonquin High School was sued by the now-retired employee of Bordeaux Autos, Mike Wagner and the company Safety Delta. The school had tried to help to stop the fight featuring a 14-year old boy and a 16-year old bully, but they failed, causing a 14-year old injured. The controversy of the school caused the police to accuse the school and even caused the Italian guy Gilberto Massimo, to blame on the school for not stopping the fight.
Later, Pedro Miller, a racing driver during an interview with Marcos Humberto, also blamed the both parents for treating two kids at this school like "poor children". He stated that the both parents should go respect their both kids. His friend worked at Safety Delta, with his manager Miguel Luis.
The Language That Anybody Did Not Liked in School Controversy[]
In 1996, during an History class, the teacher talks about the history of Germany, however, Michael John talked to the teacher about the fact that his mother is good when she speaks German language. But not him, he started crying after being depressed, due to his mother at his home. His mother started to tell her son to do good at homework about the History Class page about the German history. He became sad and started crying after he couldn't speak German. The reason why he doesn't like speaking German at all, is because it is difficult for him. He even said that he is not from Germany at all, but he wanted to speak English. Meanwhile, French mechanic André Edvard feels sorry for Michael for not speaking German. André stated that it is difficult to speak any language like Spanish, French, Italian, or something like that. The school was later blamed by Michael John's parents, because his son doesn't speak German.
