I experienced some pretty severe bullying at school and even assault from a boy significantly larger than me in 5th grade. It really destroyed me, and I ended up dropping out in 9th grade between that and so many other shitty factors.
Now, as someone in my 30’s, I see why those kids were so fucked up. What I don’t understand is why time after time, the adults put in charge of us do nothing to help. Zero common sense. I was repeatedly punished at school because apparently zero tolerance means zero tolerance of being on the receiving end too. I can’t believe that nearly 20 years later, there’s still been no reform for this kind of shit.
