Well, duh. It’s cotton-wool syndrome. Bullying has gotten worse now that kids are put into environments where they never learn how to deal with it. There was a time when if you were getting bullied, you beat the snot out of the other kid when it reached a point, and it never happened again.
Nowadays, you run to a teacher, you get upset about what people post on social media, it’s pathetic.

Yup. I was bullied right up to the point where I ended it right then and there. I was kicked out of school for 3 days but it was the end of the bullying. By the time I left school a few years later I was downright friendly with those who had bullied me.

I’ve seen that happen plenty of times on TV.

What I saw in school was packs of jackals picking on weak, vulnerable kids. Day after day. Kids who were defenseless, and who couldn’t possibly fight back.

And teachers looked the other way. I never saw anything resembling justice.
