re: Why Is Kevin Such An a-hole To Paul On Wonder Years?

Kevin's dad is a fricking a-hole too.

Ding ding ding.

A lot of bullies have a-hole dads. Even though Kevin was basically a decent, well meaning kid, he was raised in a family that included a take-no-shite dad and full bully of an older brother. Even though Kevin liked Paul, his instinct was to treat him like shite. Paul could see through it and didn't take it personally.

Once Paul came into his own through basketball and new friends, he no longer felt the need to placate Kevin's little shite attitude.
