Big Bad Bullies

Bullying in school is common, and the victims of bullying are often left with horrible problems (like hey: school shootings). Despite the efforts of schools in trying to prevent bullying, it always exists in some form. If you’re a teacher and you’re thinking ‘Gosh David, there’s not bullying at my school, get your shit together’, well wipe that ugly smile of your face and face the facts. No matter the policy the school supposedly maintains, there is going to be bullying. Even if it’s little things like exclusion from games or the occassional tease, but these things don’t seem that little to the child that feels like he’s been fucked ferociously in the nostrils.

To sum up this particular problem with school, it’s basically the mingling between the good and the bad that I find unacceptable. Because sometimes the good wants to model the bad. Other times, if the good don’t follow the rules of what’s cool and hip, they get to see videos of themselves on YouTube being bashed senseless.
