Sounds like they were bullying the other kids.

I've never been a fan of violence but as a kid I loved playing rough, especially wrestling and these days enjoy a bit of a judo; but have zero desire to get into a pub brawl. When it comes to kids I think people confuse unwanted and mutual roughhousing.

Yes, it was bullying. To the school credit, they did not just ignored the issue. They did called in psychologists etc. The kids had some kind of program about relationships / how to deal with issues / listening to each other program. It slowly got better.

Interestingly, the skills and attitudes they were teaching whole class were pretty much opposite of internet "fck the feelings, git gut looser, something bothering you is weakness" ethos.

Where do they teach you those skills on the internet?

I said "internet ethos" not "teach on internet".
