They really, really did didn't they? My Dad was a teacher and did barely fuck all to reassure me high school would be alright, while I'm talking to him about a TIME magazine article about how we've reached peak bullying and it's scarring children for life. This moment a week before I begin high school.
It didn't go well, not because I was bullied but more likely becsuse my fear response / emotional reactivity had grown massive.
The bullying had leveled off by the time I got to high school. All the really traumatic shit happened in Jr. High.
There was a really specific reason why bullying got a lot better in my high school - I went to Frankfurt American High School in Germany and the fall of the Soviet Union caused the Drawdown, the removal of a lot of US troops from Europe. 9th grade, lots of kids, plenty of bullying, 10th grade and on, less kids, much less bullying.
Wow! American army brats were bullies there? 🫡
Oh yes, I was bullied for a few years. Thank god the internet wasn't a thing yet!
Ouch. 😮💨
