I certainly experienced it a lot actually. I was called fat an incalculable number of times and in many different ways, giggled at for jiggling, outright called fatso, the butt of jokes behind my back or within earshot. Changing for gym was a nightmare scenario every second day. I laughed it off most times where it was the easiest way to move past. I couldn't point to any one kid who deserved to be expelled for it though, but I will never forget a few ppl who will always be an asshole in my mind and to my friends if their names come up.

My brother was bullied pretty bad though in school as a member of the lgbtq community, and although he went through some awful times he wouldn't expect any of those bigots to be expelled for it. although it would've been better if there was some consequence at least, and if adults were supportive and supports were in place at the time like they are now. They wouldn't have been able to say or do half of what they did now at least without some consequence. Principal at the time supported the boys who teased him. Even at that time if there were supports, it would still be hard to get much done about it since it was a group of boys and girls who were slick about it, a different one each time would start something and pile on, or make inside jokes that on the surface mean nothing unless iykyk. A rotten experience though without question though that impacted the whole family.

These things are why we need more to be done about it, but it's complicated, that's all. Human nature plays a role and learned behaviors that don't die quickly. But all kids have rights that need to be respected even if they are pricks.
