It seems like the bullies are worse these days. I don't recall anything remotely like the incidents described on this thread happening in school. Our bullies were mostly big mouths who tried to skim lunch money or who blocked you on the sidewalk.
The true crime shows on TV are full of evil kids who kill other kids, parents, grandparents and siblings, giving stupid reasons. A recent court trial on TV displayed a teen aged girl fighting with another girl over a reprobate boyfriend, and one girl stabbed the other in the heart, killing her. Absolutely mind boggling.
What were these losers doing at her funeral? Who let those idiots in? I can’t imagine anything worse than being a parent and watching your dead child’s tormenters practically dancing around her casket (may as well have been) and laughing. I’m afraid I’d start hurling those nice vases they have in funeral parlors.
Some of the public schools in our area are so bad that someone told me it’s literally like going to a third-world country. To walk back out their doors is like returning to America. Some are nothing more than human warehouses and breeding grounds for the basest behavior imaginable. Often, what you get is know-nothing kids pooling their ill breeding and animalistic behavior.
