I started dating my wife when we were both in high school so I'm lucky that I never had to try to start dating in my 20s. But when I was in high school asking out a girl was as simple as walking up and saying "do you want to go out with me?"

I asked out girls that I KNEW there was a 99% chance they'd say no, but I asked anyways. The worst they ever said was "no". Nobody ever laughed in my face or told all their friends or spread rumors about me, they just said no thank you and I moved on.

This was like 2009-2013 mind you; I think young people are a lot more cruel now than they were then.

Its more of a human thing actually. I always find anti bullying measures kind of a waste of time. Adults will bully you way more. It just isn't a swirly.

it's making you fill out an application on a job prospects website even though the info is on the resume.

It's every month when we pay rent.

It's every paycheck we receive that doesn't include our surplus labor value.

It's a overdraft fee from your bank.

It's ComcastXfinity purchasing your local government and ensuring you have no alternatives for an ISP.

It's the "unprecedented call volume" you wait through that happens because the customer service phone line is purposely understaffed.

It's your health insurance denying your claim.

It's everywhere. Just because we hide it behind a curtain of the economic system doesn't mean it changes the nature of these interactions.

Besides, don't you want your kid to be successful? Bullies are successful as fuck. Every parent should be teaching their child to be the biggest asshole douchebag bully ever.
