In the last 30 years or so, even before social media; the 'zero tolerance' issue others have spoken of started to happen. Bullies don't care, and then learn what they can to make the lives of anyone even a tiny bit different, like those who want to try hard to do well and answer questions, a living hell. The bullies become experts in the system. They trip, push, flick ears, and these days probably far worse. I believe the stories from my parents day, that the solutions for kids USED to be, as others have also said, to throw a punch, to fight back. That sort of behavior worked because it prevented the creation of something terrible. Victims. Fighting back is how you prevent the creation of victims. It works in the realm of the savage.
