Things like this happen often, and they don't always get reported because of fear.
Sometimes kids get beaten. Police usually doesn't even get involved.
But I'm glad they reported this.
What if it isn't true at all, and they reported it?
Bullying was so common when I went to school, I doubt it's fake. But you seem kind of a bully, on the other hand.
LOL. First time in my life I had someone say that to me. First time ever.
Shows how little we know about random people we meet on the internet, doesn't it?
So I was the guy getting bullied from elementary school, all the way to high school. I was a socially awkward outcast. Still am to some degree.
When you read the stories of Eric and Dylan, the shooters from the Columbine High School shootings, their stories, were my stories. If you didn't read up on them ever, they were bullied viciously in school.
I too was bullied viciously in school. I had times where I would be bullied in the classroom, with the teach present, and when I dared to say anything back to those tormenting me, the teacher would send me to detention, rather than them. I had other teachers actually laugh and smile with the bullies.
The only difference between me and Dylan and Eric, is that I was a strong Christian, and I believed in right and wrong, and divine punishment. So I never got a gun, and went on a shooting spree, obviously. But I'd be lying if I denied that there were a few dark years of my life, where I dreamed of a mass slaughter at that government run concentration and labor camp, known as public schools.
Thankfully that "Andy" is a dead and gone.
Regardless, the problem between you and me, is that just because I sympathize with people who are bullied, does not mean that I blindly trust people without evidence. And especially in recent years, where clearly no amount of truth is required, for people to convict.
Sorry, but that whole thing with Kavanough, was entirely fabricated at every single level. They even had one lady saying she didn't believe Ford, and another saying she doesn't even remember the incident in question.
They just made it up.
Then you have Jessie Smollett, and the Covington Kid incident. The list of flat out false made up allegations are endless now. The Trump Russia bull crap, and on and on and on it goes.
So now, when someone says... "Such and such happened to me!" I don't buy it. Sorry, but I don't believe them. If we lived in a society where truth was common, and everyone was trustworthy, because they believed in absolute truth.... then maybe I would take them at face value.
But this is a morally relative society, where "There's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right,", and the way AOC thinks and talks, is exactly how people are acting. They can make accusations, without any basis, and people engage in character assassination, only to find out months, or years later, none of it was true.
From now, you need proof.
You want my sympathy for what you went through, I'll give it... as soon as you prove it.
