Not saying your experience was a good thing by any stretch, but I do think especially in the U.S, we all run into that point at one time or another, when it really hits you that the “authorities” don’t really have much stake in your well-being, and so usually disregard it.
A lot of times this will be in school, yeah, with nonsense “zero tolerance policies.”
Other times it’s the “You can trust me and tell me anything” HR department that fires you for “performance reasons” conveniently after being a harassment victim.
Eventually something goes the wrong way and you realize “Help ain’t coming.” And it sucks.
Ourselves and each other are who we’ve really got in the end. Look out for each other. <3
Yeah, one time is a lesson. I’m more talking about the kids that are bullied for years, ostracized, and yes punished for the pleasure of being beat and humiliated multiple times a day. It happens in every school unless action is taken to stop it. Those kids? Those are the ones being radicalized.
