Nobody ever laughed in my face or told all their friends or spread rumors about me, they just said no thank you and I moved on.

I was in college by the time you were in high school, and I totally had friends who had that happen. I don't know if kids are more cruel now or if you had an exceptionally kind group of peers.

It's because n=1 in either case doesn't speak for the average or general picture of what happens. Both your posts are just anecdotes.

I'm their age and I've seen it observed that that time block was about the nicest high schoolers have ever been.

Okay, they were laughed at. Then what? Did the guy blow it off and try with someone else, or never try again? It's not how many times you get knocked down...

Get knocked down 10+ times and you just don’t get back up again.
