Yeah, here to say, as bad as my childhood bullying was, the adults are worse.

They're the ones who, in the background, were creating the circumstances for this by talking shit about you or instilling within their kids a bloodthirsty competitiveness that only lets them see others as targets.

And in the foreground, letting the kids who instigate the bullying, especially when it gets physical, get away as the victims - by equally enforcing punishment & loudly saying that you're both at fault, or just punishing the kid being bullied only for fighting back.
