Billy's friends were just as bad as him, but their home lives were better. Theo, Billy's right-hand man, was as ruthless as a gangster. Instead of bullying kids directly, like Billy, Theo prefered to spread rumors and gossip about other kids he didn't like. Harold was 1 year younger than Billy, yet he was still in Billy's inner-circle. Harold always gets straight A's. He prefers to out-smart his victim and leaves them doubting themselves. He was the most loyal to Billy. Ray used physical force to threaten and intimidate his victim, which scares them sensless. Remember though, Ray, Theo and Harold all paled in comparison to Billy.
