I'm not a Korean, but what I observed in Korean students studying in our country, conformity is a solid rule there. And based on my sister's experience, the bullying is real. My sister, a Filipino teacher, was bullied for being a Filipino english teacher by her students. And the Caucasian teachers never experience it. Like if you come from a lower income, or different culture, you are treated differently. But I met a lot of nice Koreans, so I think that thing is kinda disappearing from the young ones. Maybe some bullying is dramatic. But sometimes, it happens in real life, because some children are cruel.
And you're very lucky that you are not bullied. I'm introvert but fat when I was in my teens, so they bully me for my weight and from my pokemon hobbies. Which turns out, my bullies played Pokemon Go when it got famous when they were adults. But bullying comes in different flavors. Like the person in school who nobody talks to because they stink due to reasons. You leave that person alone, but social isolation is for me, the worst kind of bullying you could feel.
I'm sorry you had to go through that :(
I don't think I've ever really seen anyone get bullied in the schools I attended. The only time I felt bullied was when some girls assumed I had OCD and decided to dirty my seat(dusty footprints all over my seat and desk) I don't have OCD but I was still disgusted to sit there.
But yeah there's always a teacher in class here so bullying doesn't really happen
Is this an accurate representation of Koreans? "That's middle school for you" umm wtff is it common for malicious rumors to spread in middle school? I've never seen this happen, even in high school. I was a little bit of an outcast myself cuz I'm very introverted, but no ones ever done that shit to me.
And what's up with the Koreans hating taehee just cuz he's brought up in the US? In my school when people came back after studying in foreign(mostly US) for so long, they weren't an outcast wtff. But then again, we all speak English here even though it's not our native language. Please tell me Koreans aren't really like that ugh
