Source on sizable minority? Also the greater world, outside of school, provides just as much torture and hardship as there is within our schools. I’m not condoning bullying or normalizing being bullied (I was) but there’s something to be said about learning how horrible people can be to prepare for the real world, where they are even more horrible.
- fighterpilot 5y agoThe source is my observations and experience. The same kid gets picked on day in and day out. All the torment is directed at the bottom 5 percent of the social ladder. Nonstop. I don't believe the adult world provides as much torture. Aside from workplace backstabbing, people are much nicer as adults, even if it's all for show. And as an adult you can more easily remove yourself from relationships and surroundings that aren't working. Kids are more prone to social cruelty and you're mostly stuck in your environment without the ability to opt-out.
