quite literally got bullied by my class for the almost whole length of elementary school (so, 6-7 years) because of my (then still unknown) autism, with teachers actively enabling them to do so, and during the last fucking semester when we got back with the news of my autism diagnose, they tried to actually kick me out over it to another school, for last 3 fucking months of me being in that school, with exit exams taking place during that first month
the bullying got so fucking bad, these cunts would genuinely try to be haha sneaky quirky uwu and announce to everyone that they would wait for me to leave school premises in order to beat me up. of course teachers didn't do shit about it, the only person that has noticed that something is wrong, was the school pedestrian crossing guard. literally no one else had empathy/interest to do shit about it.
imagine my shock when by misfortune of mine I ended up in the same middle school as them, and the teachers got instructed by my parents that these guys should pretty much be on a "do not approach" list for me, and that shit was being actively enforced by them and directors. actually unheard of.
so, yeah, please do not act like they are innocent they will actively try to fuck over anyone they deem unfitting, just like everyone else, but actually more cruel
