People honestly can't really talk to me about school bullying because their usual talking points and little sayings don't hold up against my lived experiences, which didn't look like bullying in the movies.

You can't tell me "but, teachers can't do anything" because I've got an armload of anecdotes about my teachers having literally JOINED in on the bullying, even. Is that argument meant to make me just drop it? I suppose because the public blames teachers first for everything in school?

But that being the constant reply erases the very real problem of teachers who are actually, actively part of the problem, which happens more than you know. Adults don't like emotionally dysregulated kids, full-top. And many are very nasty about it. Most ADHD and Autistic people know this.

I've talked to a lot of other survivors online. Most of them do in fact have similar stories. What makes some kids unlikeable to other kids often also makes them unlikeable or at least annoying to adults, and not all adults, teachers included, are mature enough to handle that appropriately.

Maybe teachers also need a run-down on how to not inadvertently (or, advertently, if that's even a word) bully or exacerbate bullying in their classrooms. But I think a lot of them who do it know and don't care. They also excuse each other's bad behavior or overlook it.
