"I healed much faster when I played Sonic games.
The cartoon gave me inspiration and courage to be strong and just be like Sonic.
So I would get up and try to run just like Sonic."

Faith on the character... restored.

Nice story, reading that I am reminded how shitty kids can be. I can't imagine being bullied that bad. Sonic's a cool guy.

Man right in the feels.  I had a less severe but similar experience where I was very sickly/bedridden as a kid and was comforted by playing triple trouble on the game gear.  Something about seeing sonic run outside through green hills and giving you a thumbs up was beyond therapeutic.

Yes, very said that people can be like this. My hope is that they can look back and know why these things are terrible.
