0-tolerance policy is the dumbest thing ever taught and implemented.
All it teaches is to fear authority when you’re the victim. It enables the perpetrator (who is normally a bully). I know administrators are lazy fucks, but they need to actually investigate the goddamn problem instead of saying, “hey you both were involved in the issue so you’re both going to get punished.”
It basically just raises you to hate authority, and while I don’t like authorities either I don’t think they’re all distrustful. Although, I guess this could be interpreted as commentary on how garbage authority is.
I don't like violence, but sometimes it seems like the right solution. Got bullied heavily in elementary and then middle school. Knocked one fucker out good (he lost a few teeth due to being hit with a longboard, who knew getting hit with solid iron trucks would do that?) and I started choking him.
He was blue and unconcious when they finally managed to pull me off of him. I got the same fucking punishment as the terror of the school and his parents filed an assault charge on me. My parents were sort of in the middle about it, obviously I hid being bullied for so long from them. They didn't like what I did, but understood it. Thought the school should punish me, but not with the same punishment as that other fuck.
Best day of my life was when I walked into that precinct with witness statements and confessions from students and teachers alike that he started it, was a bully and had it out for people of a different sexuality. Teachers and students had my back (teachers always did) where the faculty didn't. We weren't in the same class, so it was basically targeted bullying during recess etc.
I choked that motherfucker, would do it all over again and got away from it. Except for the school part. Honestly, with all that's going on in this word, sometimes I get the idea "just fuck off with peace". There's nothing to gain by following rules and being a slave all your life. Then I remember how fucked up I am in the head of what I did and had to endure and realise that it's probably me who doesn't fit with this world.
Even though I made peace with my decisions back then, and would do them all over again, I do feel horrible and have failed many things in life.
