    Haha yeah sorry I’m sick and kinda slow rn.

    Yeah basically that’s what I said but I also tried to describe the rational of being mean and contextualize it in a broader mode of socialization.

    This is to not just go “kids are brutal” but add additional understanding, which in turn is meant to help forgiveness (in a sense of reducing hurt) and see the involvement of social order (competition does no good to hoomans).

    You know, like the kids are alright but society isn’t yet so they aren’t. This sucks but doesn’t have to forever.

      Exactly. Most bullies bully others because that’s how they feel more secure about themselves. Most of them live in broken homes, so they’re used to being pushed away, so they push others away.

      The immediate solution is to stand up for yourself. The longer term solution is to befriend them, which can fill that hole they’ve been trying to fill with bullying.
