I Honestly Believe Anti-Bullying Campaigns Were the Catalyst for Woke Culture
Post Body

I mean think about it, all the kids that are squeezing there way in politics literally spent most of their elementary, middle, and high school lives being told that people SHOULDN'T mock, scold, physically, or emotionally harass them. Now don't get me wrong, I and many of you would agree that embracing something like true liberty would make concepts like bullying obsolete anyway in a society that truly embraced it because then people would care about other people's basic rights to life and to be left alone to begin with.

However, no, anti-bullying programs for years I feel like after a while led to unattended consequences of breeding an entire generation that believes that everyone SHOULD care about their plight of being bullied NO MATTER the reason is wrong. That part in particular is important, it didn't matter what the kid might have been getting picked on for, you were just told NOT to bully the kid. Even if the kid did something like I don't know, pooped in the urinals, talked about killing puppies, or called themselves weird stuff that they aren't. If you as another kid decided to attempt to show the kid the absurdity of their action, but decided to it in a "bullying" manner, you were told that is "morally wrong to do" and I just don't agree.

Some of the biggest wins in my life I would argue have to be admittedly when I've seen people that other's would consider "bullies" be the only students I would argue who were brave enough to call out another studet doing or saying some weird or questionable stuff. For example, for some strange reason, no one wanted to be "mean" enough to this one kid I knew growing up who got too handsy with other female students in very round about ways that even the girls found questionable of what just happened. Like once a girl was bending over to get something out her locker and he pretended to trip into and straight up grabbed her thighs and claimed it was an accident. I swear to you everyone knew, but no one knew how to tell a teacher about it, girls were scared to confront him about it, and dudes just pretended to not see it when it when stuff like that happened. That was until one day when a notorious bully in our school called him out and called him out for being a creep basically and I swear to you the silent standing ovation you could feel in the classroom was staggering and you could tell everyone agreed. But of course, per say of the school, he was in the wrong for making the creep cry and was suspended for a week for bullying and the creep didn't ever get so much as talked to about his actions that caused the bully to call him out and I've always deep down questioned that. And to be honest with you, that creep just very well be one of these blue-haired weirdos walking around talking about being "oppressed" today.

So I don't know, what do you guys think?

(P.S. Before someone claims some nonsense like I don't care for people who have killed themselves because of bullying. I would first say screw you, you don't know me, I've been super close to and lost a close friend (R.I.P. Jayla) in the past to suicide, it is and has always been a complicated issue that is ALWAYS more then likely to be more than just one thing weighing on their minds, and to always chalk up their deaths to one word answers like "bullying" I feel is INCREDIBLY dangerous and irresponsible to deeper issues that led to their death's like lack of family support and isolation. Besides that, looking foward to hearing from you guys!)
