I don’t care if you bullied in high school

Quote from bangmenah

High school doesn’t even truthfully have “bullies” in the archetypal sense of the word that you’re speaking to. There are friends, acquaintances, strangers, and people that you don’t get along with, something fundamentally true for all people. Being a victim isn’t good, healing is good. Stop creating victims and blowing things out of proportion.

We’re currently holding all of these teenagers accountable for actions

Why shouldn't teenagers be held accountable for their actions? Especially if they are giving trauma to others?

I always see people saying stuff like that. As a person who was bullied from grades 6-10, I would definitely not be happy to see my tormentor being adored and even defended, despite knowing that they inflicted psychological harm on me.

I‘m not saying that Garam did it, the proof is not clear enough for that, but it’s sickening to see people downplay bullying.

It’s been 2 years since my bully thankfully left the school and I’m still trying to recover my self-esteem. Stop patronizing people for not wanting to support a bully

Until they bully you

you clearly have not been bullied before, everyone has to take responsibilities for their actions

The bullies in my high school used to beat students after school time, you can't give them all a pass. The bullying related to idols is often exaggerated but that doesn't mean that no teenager bullies anyone, you have some example like Jisoo who deserved to be called out for what he did to others.

lots of people I know from AKP have been bullied at school (including myself)

for me it was in primary school and although the experience made me more resilient I can't speak for others since everyone reacts and handles bullying differently...

whilst I have no lingering effects from such bullying the same cannot be said of everyone else who suffers bullying

people have been known to take their own lives - suffer years of trauma and mental health issues - some go on to bully others - different strokes for different folks

even if you've never been a bully or on the receiving end it might good OP to show some compassion and sympathise with others who have suffered as a result

If you are/were a bully you deserve to be called out. Bullying can really mess with someone's mental health.

this is giving: it's fine as long as you don't kill someone

bad take. Downplaying bullying and the trauma victims go through is not it at all.

bullying in Korea is not laughing at someone and cracking jokes, better term is school violence than simply bullying

Quote from bangmenah

If you’re not a socio path nor a danger to society, laughing at someone, cracking jokes every once in a while.

The long and the end of it is that every story has two perspectives. Wrong and right, good and evil don’t exist and perpetuating an action that nobody can uphold 100% of their life is wrong. We’re currently holding all of these teenagers accountable for actions as if they’re adults committing war crimes.

Tell you me you are a verbal and physical abuse apologist without telling me you are a verbal and physical abuse apologist

Op was a bully
