I'm surprised they don't answer Yes. When you make everything up, why not claim whatever makes your side look best?
Speaking of making things up, I think its time to fight back against this weird stereotype of jocks beating everyone up.
I don’t recall ever seeing it happen when I was in high school in the early 80s. Some of them were jerks but it had nothing to do with them being jacks and there were plenty of other jerks who weren’t jocks. I was a natural bully target because I was smallish, quiet etc but never had any issues with the jocks. It worst, I was ignored by them.
