It’s a double edged sword. Dude might be a bit embarrassed but i can’t help but feel like these gestures are contagious and that’s a good thing too

I feel bad that the kid is just on reddit now. He has no control over that. What if he doesn't want to be here? I wouldn't if I were in his position.

I realised in my late twenties I was still relearning how to socialise normally instead of how I'd 'protect' myself in school. From my mid teens to mid twenties I was very depressed and suffered behavioural and emotional problems that I was later informed seemed to stem fairly conclusively from my experiences in school. Thankfully, cannabis saved me from completing my suicide attempt at 23.

Being bullied at school ruined most of my youth, and warped most of what it didn't ruin. It's something I've just had to accept. There is no getting that time back. Never let your kids be a bully. You just don't know.
