It’s not right, but that’s how it is. As a bullied student, I know how it works and why.
I was bullied, too. And oftentimes, the victim’s own innate nature and circumstances, such as mine, hampers the ability to conform. It really sucks. And good riddance to those jerks, BTW.
I was also bullied. We moved a lot so:
Always the new kid in school
Always the smallest kid in school
Had a weird “religion”
Was born an extrovert but immediately became an introvert after the first day of school.
I view the years of bullying as great training for adulthood.
