Schools are terrible social spaces. I only ever got bullied. Schools are even banning talking at lunches now.

thats not true, where do you go to school, what grade are you in? you cannot just say this without supporting evidence.

Theyre not banning talking at lunch. They had silent lunch once so far in my sons school, and it was because of a brawl that nearly broke out so they whole grade was punished.

I graduated around a decade ago. I've heard of "quirt lunches" as a thing they do now

Sorry to hear that. I had a blast in school, especially high school. It does look like, to me, a generation that views in person interactions with anxiety. Only way to fix that is through in person interactions.

Phones weren't all that common when I went.
