Re: Bullying
Everyone please remember that high school is temporary and it you are having a really bad time please talk to teachers or seek help.

You are lucky. I'm currently a teacher, and I am struggling so hard with teaching the students when to stick up for themselves, when to ignore teasing, and when to come tell me. Usually they just all end up on a fistfight though. Note: I teach first grade.atlantadboggs wrote:I went to high school in a very small town where everyone knew each other and we were all friends. Bullying was never really a factor. Even if a problem arose, the principal put a stop to it before it ever began.

Bullying is prevalent, and with all the apps that are being made that hand more tools right to them, they will keep getting stronger.

While I know that verbal jabs still aren't good, I think my schools definitely weren't as bad as some. For instance, the most obvious kids to pick on weren't the ones picked on. It was more frequent for a "popular" kid who had a fall from grace to get picked on.

For what it's worth, I'm 33 now, have much more confidence than back in high school, and would have been class of 2000 for HS as reference for when bullying was rampant for me

But those kind of kids are troubling kids, so that the main reason they are being bullied is their behavior around school.
I never really experience them, though.

This was my experience as well. Bullying was much, much worse in middle school than in high school. Although I don't recall any physical bullying, there was definitely the "you can't sit at our table" kind of bullying going on.Sarah Penney wrote:Personally, I felt the bullying was far worse in my middle school than it was in my high school. However, I do know that it rarely got physical. The other kids in my school were more inclined towards jabs through talking than jabs through their own hands.

I think that's the case generally, at least from my own experience, my sister's, and these posts. I'm not sure who decided that cramming a bunch of pubescent kids into a small building for hours at a time was a good idea, but they deserve a swift kick in the rear.Sarah Penney wrote:Personally, I felt the bullying was far worse in my middle school than it was in my high school.
Bullying can also result from ingroup-outgroup conflict. If you have a few minutes, look up the Robbers Cave experiment. It's kind of disturbing.
