Literally my entire 80's high school experience is peppered with instances (at a constant rate) of being ribbed and being unable to say "that's not funny, stop it!" because it "wasn't cool".
Are you saying my entire generation grew up in toxicity?
I mean... It's entirely possible, even if it seemed more innocent at the time.
I’d say that, yes. Bluntly, the entire American school system looks pretty bad from the, in my case, outside perspective of someone who went though UK Catholic secondary school (‘secondary’ is an almost but not quite perfect match of US high school).
