I would say that this seems to be true in the modern phenomenon of post-pubescent teenagers being forced to spend large amounts of time together without any real responsibility. I wonder whether it was true back when this was the age one would begin apprenticeships and taking on actual real-world responsibility -- if you weren't already working out in the fields.

- jdmichal 11y agoI don't think you understand the context I was responding in. Of course bullying isn't new, and of course there are some personalities that will continue to bully into adulthood. I was questioning the assumption that this is an ingrained feature of early pubescence, because the fact is that what teenagers go through now with high school and little-to-no real responsibility is a modern phenomenon.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoNo, I do understand the context. I am questioning the suggestion that somehow 'responsibility' prevents bullying.
