Super socially awkward and anxious in middle school and high school and was also bullied a ton. Girls would ask me out as a joke, and there’s no good response. If you say yes you’re a dumbass for thinking they’re actually interested in you, if you say no you’re gay and should kill yourself. Combined with being an impressionable teen with incredibly negative self esteem on reddit at a time where something along the lines of all men are rapists was a common sentiment, it really honestly fucked me up. I still am not comfortable with romance and intimacy with women to be honest.
It is a lot in a sense that every number above zero is a lot, but really numbers aren’t even comparable.
Overall, in UK from 2012 to 2022 there was reported 36k cases of violence in school. Meanwhile, in US 443,990 teenagers fell victim to school violence in 2022 alone
I tried to explain to someone that her all men are trash rhetoric isn’t gonna help anyone do better and the response was that they didn’t care, men should just be better or other men should be responsible for making them better but she sure wasnt. I think she grew out of that.
I genuinely dont understand what people mean they say “men need to do better” as if were all some homogeneous collective. Ive seen a reddit post, of which you can probably guess the sub, where it directly tells men to “do better”
I don’t get yelling at some random person that they need to “do better” without knowing anything about them.
Children are just cruel in general. I have a giant scar on my stomach from an appendectomy gone very wrong and I used to get made fun of for it in the locker room. They called it my C section scar.

That’s horrifically fucked up. Children really do be out there causing misery for nothing, huh…

The data in the links follows up on exactly that

I truly dont know what they expect to happen.
Female bullying culture is very cruel.

Im sorry :c
It taught me to stop feeling as a defense mechanism and I never really started again. Hooray for depression 🎉
I’ve shut it all down and can no longer relate to people. Hooray
