He's always wore sketchers. Like since he was 4. Recently, he got really emotionally taking about shoes he wanted for middle school. He said if he doesn't get Nikes he's going to get teased. Great fucking marketing work Nike.

As if parents and schools can't intervene.
Shouldn't those 2 groups specificallybe trying to educate children to do better?

It doesn't really matter if the schools do. And the bully's parents are where they get it from. Kids don't care about branding unless they're instructed to do so by their families. I was bullied by a guy for years at school. Several adults tried to intervene, but it only stopped after I embedded a knife in the wall next to his head from across the room. Bullies like a reaction unless they think there's a legitimate chance you'll snap and murder them. Unfortunately that's not advice you can pass to your children.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I believe there's plenty that can be done.
And it may get the kids to react.
Maybe not with a knife but bullies aren't generally very tough anyway when confronted.

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.

If you want your kid to be successful, they should be a bully. Bullies are successful as fuck. Every parent should be teaching their child to be the biggest asshole douchebag bully ever.
