Sure, it was around... but you met it head on and handled it, usually to the bully's detriment.
Or yours. But there was not this "poor Johnny, he's getting bullied" bullshit we hear today...
And that is the sad truth, what many went through in growing-up was part of growing-up.
But to today, 'went through' in regards of the many facets of schooldays has been elevated
into the realms enduring a torturous set of incidents that is believed to drive people towards
this sort of madness.
That's why we have the wails of cruel slavery being bandied about by young folk who think they
know the past, they see something in history that they're barely connected to and step into the
place of the heroic bell-ringer who knows the truth.
It's theatrical behavior to dispel the guilt they have for a comfortable life, a life that they're unable
to equate with how we as a species progressed.
'Whoa-is-me" -is today's slogan.
Still... my heart goes out to all involved.
