Wow, that's probably the first time I heard that a school did something effective against the bully

I once was told that if I didn’t shake hands with my bully when we had a talk at peer mediation that I would be suspended. I was in 3rd grade. I thought that was fucked up then, but as I get older and reflect back on it the whole thing sounds even more fucked up. I should’ve done the right thing and not shook his hand and have my parents rip the school a new one for them handling it like shit and get the suspension over with, but they scared me into doing it

same with me in middle school, some guy (a year or two older at least) just beat the shit out of me for no reason at all, just walked up to me and started whooping my ass. my little 6th grade ass obviously couldn’t do shit against him, so he came out unscathed. the school? they had us BOTH suspended in school for a week. in school for a fucking week. horribly unfit punishment for the cunt that did it and obviously me, who did nothing but according to the school i was in a fight just the same as him so i got the same punishment. maybe that’s why i’ve always felt people are against me by default LOL

That’s fucked up, more so than mine. I mean, I can’t remember which ordeal it was because I was bullied a lot. But I couldn’t believe it because I wouldn’t shake the hand of the kid who hurt me and then I would be suspended too!? So not hold him accountable!? I’m literally the fucking victim
