My recollection was in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades kids were brutal to each other and any everyone else.
I remember one girl told her friend that her measurements were 40 40 40 and a half. The friend told a boy. He told all the other boys. Nobody ever said anything to her, but every time you saw her you thought 40 40 40 and a half. That had to be a tough way to start life.
The teachers for that age group really earn their pay although I remember one who did it to molest the girls.
Went to Catholic school. Only bullying there was done by the Nuns, Brothers and Priests. Anyone else tried to bully, they beat the snot out of you.
That’s all
