@starbreaker @vfrmedia @OldandConfused @pzmyers I tried this when I was small, until my teens. But then I realized that fighting my bullies was completely hopeless. I was powerless against them. Plus, my mother kept telling me that I basically "deserved" all the bullying.
Therefore I turned to the only person over whom I had power: Myself. I desperately tried to become someone else, someone who didn't "deserve" all this.
@pzmyers @OldandConfused @vfrmedia @starbreaker When I grew older, the bullying slowly subsided. During my last three years of school, we weren't taught as a class anymore, but in changing groups, depending on the subject. That helped. I was able to get away from the bullies, and the other kids "tolerated" me, even if they knew that I was unpopular.
@stefanieschulte @pzmyers @OldandConfused @starbreaker from watching #DieMaus
I get impression that DE kids from primary to highschool are given more freedom than UK (even now).
But that is difficult to manage, and I wonder if one reason DE is forced to address problem today (similar to Asian nations) is whole generations choosing not to have children at all?
@vfrmedia @stefanieschulte @pzmyers @OldandConfused @starbreaker this is a thing yes.
