Being a teenager in the mid to late 80’s, EVERY male was going to get into a fight at some point, voluntarily, or not. At least, where I grew up in the rural South. It’s just the way it was. Especially at a party. A lot of guys got set up to get their asses beat that way.
Yep, looks about right. Fistfights were extremely common in my youth, much more than today.
I am staggered that my kids don’t have more horror stories from school and I am starting to think our generation maybe went through a special hell.
Yep, I don’t have kids, but I’ve noticed these last couple of generations are nowhere near as casually violent as mine was.
But then, we didn’t have school shooters, either. Just knuckleheads who liked to fistfight for fun.
No. I was bullied as a kid. I’ll say this, life is harder for kids today in so many ways.
And social media is the new ring of preference for bullying and torment
Yup, I’m right in the middle of that peak, but I’ve never been in a fight in my life, so… exception that proves the rule?
You’re lucky.
