We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

That's half of my whole point 💀

Shit people exist. It's hard enough when everything's normal.

Imagine how much worse it would be for some kid with a name that's actually weird not just slightly.

So why are we letting kids do that?

Have you ever dealt with a bully's parents? Have you ever even dealt with a bully?

Schools tend to favor bullies. Mainly because their parents are fucking crazy and will threaten all kinds of shit and most normal people don't want to deal with that.

I was bullied at every school I went to. Which is where I developed my idea about how they operate.

So yes I have dealt with a bully's parent. And all you did was say thay I was right.

Normal people have to deal with it.
