Weird... physical bullying is something that I just never witnessed or experienced, in all my years in school. Not in the playground, not in the halls, not off-campus... I just didn't see it, nor hear about it. I don't know if I was blind, or it was the area where I was going to school, or a combination of both... but as far as I could tell, bullying was just not a huge problem. Verbal bullying is something else, and I did hear that a lot, but I don't place that in the same category.
The first real fight I saw was when I was teaching high school... and it was over pretty damn quick, thanks to some intervening staff. That was it.
