i never understood it when bullies would be like “im gonna beat you up. meet me outside at 3” just dont go
i think it’s cause if you don’t go then the bully will just torment you in a more unpredictable way later on.
like at least he made an appointment. might as well get it over with.
That, and the alternative is the bully calls you out as a chickenshit or a pussy or something, often others will join in shortly after, because it validates the the bullies’ choice of target, and attacking weakness is a way to distance yourself from it in school yard politics, thereby affording oneself greater safety and wellbeing at the expense of someone else’s.
Or, short version: kids can just be super fucked up.
can i bully you guys
