    Anon didn’t have the abilities to digest the situation to conclude what needs to be done to prevent this in the future.

    Anon hopefully is older and wiser now.

    I was anon once…

      Middle school kids he mighta done nothing wrong at all. Those kids at that age are terrors and will oust people from a friend group for the dumbest reasons imaginable.

      Sucks because that person may have done everything right and years later still can’t trust people or open up to them.

        If there is even just a chance that others wouldn’t understand, let alone disapprove you associating with kid X, you can accomplish 2 things by ousting them: 1. You get rid of the potential disapproval (wich is mostly just insecurity) 2. You help an ingroup getting rid of unambiguousness, by drawing/strengthening the border to the outgroup, while with the same move placing yourself on the inside.

        I work with kids, and so far I think this is the objective rationality behind most or at least many acts of cruel exclusion.

        The only long term, non authoritarian solution is the kids developing a moral compass, that makes violent exclusion more important to them than short term insecurity-management and of course beeing less insecure. (Plus the “weird ones” often have fluffin interesting perspectives)

        As we can see in comments like “shower more” even many adults didn’t recover from the competitive-acceptance-bs other kids/their parents/ this fucked up society gave them.

      If it’s happy and wholesome its sadly probably fake, if its dark and depressing, there’s a good chance that is legit.
