The poor kid at a private school thing statistically has 1 of 2 effects on the kid.

1. The kid gets bullied and as a result of that crashes and burns
2. The kid gets bullied and as a result of that succeeds a million times better due to the hyper competitive high pressure environment. And fucks with their head a bit.

This is why the unites states is so successful they create a similar scenario for all citizens. Many burn but the extremes of the environment create the most successful people in the world. The same mathematics used to model Darwinian selection apply. A high selective pressure upon the population will help those better suited to compete succeed way more than without that pressure.

So here’s the hot take bullying is not necessarily a bad thing. It simply applies a high pressure to kids by other kids teaching them about how to successfully navigate the world. And before everyone goes off at me saying I don’t know what I’m talking about I got bullied in highschool and as a result of that I’m probably in the top 5% most successful people from who I went to school with. I feel its correlated. OHG and also I learned how to beat someone up and funny enough the bullying instantly stopped. So maybe the parents should simply teach their kids two to fight then get em to read “the prince” by Machiavelli to learn how to effectively apply that to the school student political environment.
