| Topic | Reading It, it really seems like bullies in the 60s were way worse than |
| pinky0926 09/06/17 7:17:14 AM #3: | I went to boarding school. The bullying got progressively less severe as I went through the ranks. My first year (age 11), they would still do "summonings", where you'd get summoned to a seniors room and be faced by 6 of them with hockey sticks and they'd beat you until you sobbed. Prior to that they had just recently ruled out "the gauntlet", where you'd have to run over pintacs barefoot down a narror corridor while seniors wailed on you from either side. From everything I've heard, this trend continued over the years. The bullies in the 60s and 70s did things I shan't even type out here. Much of this was actually encouraged by teachers because it "built character". By the time I got to my final year, they had figured out that bullying had potential mental side effects and you couldn't so much as look sternly at a junior without a teacher losing their marbles at you. This resulted in what we saw as a very spoiled bratty generation of juniors, but overall I think it was a very good thing. Maybe we were just jealous because when we were their age we lived in mortal fear of senior students. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard! |
