  • a tangential point to go over, but cases of violence compared to victims is different… as in the us, with guns, one case of violence would have a lot more victims that a stabbing…
    so it would be better to compare incidents of violence involving a deadly weapon, especially more indiscriminate mass attacks instead of just fights… and then adjust for population….
    still probably not comparable but a lot closer….
    and, i suspect, the bullying is a lot less over there and the school staff is a lot more involved in stopping it…. but that’s just a guess.



  • oh yes… i was bullied a lot, until i was lucky enough to grow taller than most of them….
    i feel really bad for smaller kids who never got to stand up to their bullies….
    if you want to be really horrified, read up on Kelaia Turner.
    i was thinking lately, that might be why there’s so much school shootings (i hear the uk has a lot of school stabbings)….
    but if a particularly mentally ill kid is ganged up on and terrified constantly by a large majority of the school, it seems more likely that they’ll do some extremely antisocial behavior… especially if teachers allow it and even join in a little bit.
