Kids can be real shitheads sometimes
Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood
crapwittyname@lemm.ee 10 months agoMy kid was the last one in their school year to get a smartphone. He was bullied for not having a smartphone. He used to ask me for one several times a day and I stuck to what I’d said, he’ll get one on his birthday. I still feel it was far too early. He was 10 when he got it.

You did the right thing. If it was the 1900s and everyone else was to give their child cigarettes, they might get bullied for having no cigarettes, but you know what is best and you stuck with it

Also you are not getting bullied because you don’t have cigarettes or smartphones, but because you lack self confidence and are perceived as social weak (your friends and random bystanders would not come to your help).

No, you are getting bullied because humans beings are morons who will jump to bully whoever is perceived as different. Do not blame the victim, for fuck sake.

I’m not blaming victims. Obviously it’s on parents of the bully.

Maybe it’s an useful trait that saved us from the other evil hominids? That and the uncanny valley.

You have completely misunderstood this and are trying to overlay some bizarre Andrew Tate-esque psychobabble to explain your misunderstanding.

What? I talk just from my own experience.
