Getting slammed into lockers, having people steal your notebooks, having half your friends spontaneously turn on you... I'm reading into your comment a little bit and projecting my own thoughts of "these things might have been character-building." That might be true, but for some they could also end up causing PTSD/similar things, difficultly trusting people, severe low-self-confidence, etc.
