    Much of Appalachia is the same. If you don’t talk like a redneck, you get picked on. The smart kids with social savvy will learn to code switch.

      So we’re still looking to survive bullies rather than holding them responsible for bad behaviour I see. That’s toxic.

        Nah, fuck off with your strawman. I was just describing the reality, not suggesting that it is any kind of solution. Holding them accountable would be great, but kids often don’t have that option.

          No you are not offering a solution, you’re just doubling down on making more problems. And then calling it ‘that’s life’. You are toxic.
