Glad you pulled yourself out friend. Thank you for the insight. I always hated when kids would say "kill yourself" or similar in high school for this very reason. Hope you're doing well.
Either way it seems like speculation, maybe it should be presented as such instead of stating it as fact?
I don't believe these anecdotes reflect reality, and I don't think they really bring anything of substance to the conversation. It's borderline alarmist at best.
Tbf 30 years ago fights seemed common whereas there were very few when I was in school. Seems like physical violence has evolved into verbal because it's harder to trace and punish. (Just a guess)
