is it because its a juvenile term and its time to use the serious terms (harassment? sexual harassment? assault?) is it because most people stop getting bullied in high school and its something that happens almost exclusively to the neurodivergents? is it because were adutls and have other things to worry about? why are people this resistant to this. even in more progressive spaces ive been told to toughen up/move on? whats hapening

Cuz people don't want to be reminded that they did nothing to stop it.

yeah its true but i really dont think its that serious, we have war criminals being open about i promise it wont be life ending to admit you were silent in 9th grade

I agree. I got bullied hard in school and it completely changed me. I still have a really hard time being comfortable around people and assume all strangers hate me. I wish adults with bullying trauma were taken more seriously and listened to. You never hear their perspectives on TV for example

I got bullied in school, i still have social anxiety about it, i dont meet new people, i dont make new friends, i have a good small friends group of neurodivergents and im fine with that, i just wish i could drop the guard and be myself more. And i want to find a partner but its not going to happen like this so i must do something

I got badly bullied at school for being the weird, poor kid. It got so bad I confided in a teacher and she said she would help. Her "help" consisted of announcing to the class that I had reported them.

Certain leftists do use the word "bullying" a little too light-heartedly for my taste.

you're right. it's got a light connotation, that's why no one takes it seriously
