Another Problem with School: The Social Aspect

[fish20]

It is almost impossible to not have to interact with people in school, and communication isn't a bad thing. But when socialization is forced it turns into a problem.

Some people love interacting with other people. Others, hate it, or even fear it. At school, there are people who can do lots of damage to people. Bullying has caused A LOT of people to commit suicide, or harm themselves. This is not something you usually hear about on the news or on the radio (SS knows about this, but whatever). The kids that get bullied, are also highly likely to be they type that doesn't like to talk or share their feelings. This means that these things aren't taken care of if the victim doesn't tell anybody.

What does this have to do with school though? The kids that are being bullied most likely hate this place, and it is like hell for them. But guess what, school is FORCED! If the victim can't find an alternative (the parents can't homeschool, the child can't change schools, the child or parents do not know about alternatives, the parents won't let them alternative, etc.), then they are stuck there. Not only are the kids stuck there, schools rarely have the ability to deal with the bullying.
