not only i was not bullied, i dont even know anyone who was bullied or was a bully. there was maybe some teasing here and there, but i have never seen or heard about anyone get beat up, i have never seen anything like the US teen movies show us (different cliques, bullies that constantly pick on someone, destroy their stuff, spit on them, call them horrible names and do all sorts of vile things to them) and never heard about it either. not in elementary school, not in high school (and certainly not in college). and i have asked around a lot.
i used to think it was just a US movie trope. that it didnt really happen. now, having moved here and talking to different people about it i realize it does happen, but unsure why. were our schools stricter? if a child would get punched/beaten up at the school yard, the bully would get expelled from school immediately. bunch of us were almost expelled for one day leaving the school premises. hitting another kid would sure result in bye bye. or were the kids nicer to each other in the 80ties/90ties or in Europe? Or was it because i went to a relatively small school? What is a small school? We had about 500 students there. Is that small or big? Or what other reasons could there be? Or was I just somehow lucky that I didnt experience or see it, and same with my friends?
