>>5761555I graduated HS in 2007. There weren't really bullies in my school. Everyone was in their social circle and pretty much never left them. The rednecks, ultra Christians, honor students, emo kids, and black kids never really interacted with each other. Sure, kids sometimes said mean things to each other, but the idea of a gang of schoolyard bullies felt like something long past. The one or two fights that would happen per year were a big deal because it came with a 20 day suspension, which basically means you auto failed the year. In my freshman year there were two assholes that tried to bully others, but they almost instantly became social outcasts - one being sent to a Christian academy and the other became a loner that went to the library during lunch. Is bullying seeing a resurgence thanks to social media, or was my situation unique due to living in the rural South?
