The second one is VERY important; *** being ostracized is more mentally damaging than being bullied. ***
Don’t know how many ways I can say this; being told “go away”, ignored completely when you speak, being chosen last for teams all say “you are worthless to us”
Kids think they are being nicer by not picking on someone that annoys them, and they are right. However, at least when a child is being picked on, however horribly, it means their existence has been noticed and has caused a reaction.
The cool kids hate it when the teachers pick the teams or assign students to work together in group. The ostracized kids are always relieved (of course by this point many would rather work alone after years of being rebuffed).
We need to teach our children not only to not bully and belittle, but to also be inclusive; to respond in some sort of non-negative way to kids they would rather ignore. It’s not easy, but being told by a peer that they are worthy of positive notice could improve - and maybe even save - a life.

I know this may sound odd but one of the best feelings in the world is when u finally fall out of love with someone who hurts u. When u can think of them and feel nothing. It’s like waking up from the darkest nightmare, and realizing u can survive anything.

“Along with the enlightenment’s laudable goals of liberation and critical modernity, there was always an ugly shadow side, namely colonialism and imperialism, and the violent appropriation and enclosure of the commonwealth (the modernity/colonial rift). It was precisely because of this "darker side of the Renaissance”, as Walter Mingolo puts it, that the development of early capitalism became possible, and continues to be to this day. There is no space here to detail these high complex historical processes, but some highlights can be outlined. This reflection contextualizes aspects of our contemporary crisis, showing that this has been a constructed project, not an “act of God” or a purely natural happening, and as such it can deconstructed, transformed, and built anew.“ - “What We Want is Free”
