I don't remember ever having seen a bullying case in my school, at least in my division. Maybe we were saints? |
I think is something people from usa have, I havent seen bullying cases in my school either, maybe a fight like once every 2 years or something like that, there was no exclsive victim or bully, everyone pissed others with stupid jokes, and that would be it.
Likely because in recess most men where playing football, and other guys like e and my friends made other stupid thigs or stayed talking with the girls.
It really depends on which school you are, in some extremely poor locations you see what you could call bullying, with a minority of kids being delincuents.

Maybe it's one of the good things South America has...no bullying 
Yeah, I mean, there were fights, surely, but not people picking on purpose over the weak, I never saw that happen here

I don't believe you. You must be blind or something lol.
In the West bullyuing is common in all skools, on all levels until high skool (but not at all as much on the university level). In almost every skool class someone or a couple of kids are bullied for being fat, ugly, nerdy, shy or whatever. Overall it's perhaps a bit less common among wealthy kids and in religious skools.

I don't know why it has to be so common. I remember that watching cartoons and films it always struck me as odd, because it's something I never saw. I don't mean that kids are saints here, they smoke, drink, take drugs and everything. But we don't have "jocks"...I know that because it's a concept it was difficult for me to grasp. Here no one cares what sport anyone does. I've never seen a group of "tough guys" trying to bully a weak one, I can assure you of that
And for the record, I went to a public, secular (is that the proper term? Whatever, non-religious) high school.
And I suggest, try not to pass as if you knew every single education system. I certainly don't think I know how it is in Sweden

It's very interesting to hear. I dont claim I know the school atmosphere and societies in South America.
But how about this then - perhaps you grew up in a rural lil town in Argentina? People in general are much friendlier in rural compared to urban.

I dont know about zexen, but I live in Santiago, the capital city, lots of people here. We did make jokes to everybody and sometimes we got mad, but that group thing I see on USA tv programs here is very rare and almost unexistant(except in some very poor schools like I said before), actually we laughed at the fact that the US schools had those groups like the cheerleaders, american football players, nerds etc...
Maybe because here we play football where you dont need stupid cheerleaders or to use steroids lol.
Anyway, it must be similar in argentina, here guys smoke, drink, use drugs, but somehow this isnt seen here.
Another thing, my classmates where the same in almost every class we had, in 12th grade you end up knowing everyone in your generation and I was friends with everyone, I had no enemies like ive seen US guys have on tv.
Other thing which I havent seen is people trying to be popular, there is no such thing as the "popular group".
