yeah, it was just starting to kind of come around when i went to school. we had one mainstreamed kid with significant special needs, and most everyone loved him. not to the point of making him homecoming king, but we all looked out for him and once you knew his name you were his friend. Every once in a while (like today) I wonder what happened to him.
Once a kid “beat me up” and then got very protective of me from that moment on. Like I was his property.
Male teenagers are weird
I wasn’t even physically injured. I actually just faked being hurt so he’d stop. He just tried to punch me in the stomach several times. Not a sucker punch. I saw it coming and literally just tensed it so his fists just bounced off.
I heard teachers once saying that they rather deal with boy drama than girl drama. Boys typically fight each other and get over it. You just put them both in detention (or can even leave it, as a detention can cause more animosity). While girls seem to fall out and have grudges.
apparently corporal punishment for students was still legal in germany until 1973 and in bavaria until 1979, and still had popular support by then. people can be insane and cruel sometimes.
From my limited understanding Bavaria has some weirdness going on with its autonomy compared to a lot of Germany. It was the biggest kingdom integrated into the German Empire and so it got a lot of concessions if memory serves right, don’t know how much of this is still true but I wouldn’t be surprised if Bavaria enjoyed some special privileges.
Growing up ADHD in the 80’s and 90’s was… Different.

I grew up in an era where special needs kids were bullied and assaulted daily. I got punished by the principal for defending myself.

Should look him up OP or is one of those situation where it’s better not knowing ?

Bavaria is part of Germany, like Texas is part of the USA.
