Lemmers, you just bumped to your high-school bully. What would you say to him (or her)? (lemmy.world)

My high school didn't have bullies. Or exclusive cliques. Where did you all go to school?

Bisexual kid in a small rural village in rural England during the height of the aids pandemic 👍

Mine did not really have cliques but there was definitely some bullying. I may have occasionally been involved in that. Nothing physical of course but words can be pretty fucking hurtful.

Same. My high school was chill and all the students were largely respectful to one another.

Middle and elementary school where a different story though. That shit was wild.

I will forever maintain that 8th graders are the most vicious people on this planet

Maybe you didn't experience the bullying that was happening, or you weren't on the outer of the cliques that existed?
