I dunno about yall but in my school experience the bullies and bad kids always got into trouble and was always suspended and shit. They didn't get away with jack shit like how social media portrays them.

Not in mine. The ones in my grade happened to be children of the school employees. It was also a school that put sports above all else. So having these kids not only be excused due to relationships of their parents, but also due to being good athletes, they got away with whatever they wanted. There were basically no consequences for that group.

Admittedly, that was only like 3 kids that fell into that group, but their friends also enjoyed much lesser consequences due to association.

It was the "nobody" bullies that paid for their actions. Like the transfer student that had no association with the main group, and tried selling drugs. He got put down hard and eventually kicked out, where he eventually died of an overdose. That was "expected" and brushed off like nothing. But the drug dealing quarterback who died of an overdose the next year was seen as a tragedy and everyone mourned him for months. Like, why did the other guy's death not matter?

Likewise, one of the most hateful, arrogant, and entitled people in my class. Popular for sports, got arrested for going 80 in a school zone and whipping past a bus that was unloading children. What came of that? All the school employees tried pulling strings to get him out of it. I do think he lost his license temporarily, but I don't recall anything further than that. No one even held it against him because "he suffered enough." No, he nearly killed some kids. At least slap his wrist to show some kind of objection to his actions. >_>
