Honestly junior high was the worst three years of my life, and I would be a totally different person today if some of the things that happened to me there had never happened to me. Not to get too emo or anything but you could make an argument that what happened to me in junior high ruined my life. I would’ve never made 13 year old me go back to that school after I was knocked unconscious with a kick to the face but I guess that option never occurred to my stay-at-home mom. 🤷🏻
If it was a sub 200k pop city in country like Poland during the 90s then probably nothing. A story would be made that the afflicted kid tripped over and they'd call it a day.
Ya but now you're a real G instead of being a bitch. It made you stronger. Sorry to hear that happened but people have to fight. I'm glad you're here with us.
Yeah I used to be one of those that thought you needed it to learn to be social. Then I think about how I went to public school for all that time and my social skills are garbage. Family talk about how different I was as a little kid before school and how much better I am now having been out of school for 20 years. I wasn't bullied or anything, but something about the school environment just made me uncomfortable I guess.
I've also got a homeschooled teen boy in the family I'm close with. We really overlap in interests and just how we think about things. His social skills having never been to school are better than mine, and on another level to how I was at that age.
So needing to go to school for social skills are BS to me.

I didn't even pull my kids out because of Covid, it was because of CRT.
Glad I did either way.
