Senior High School student in my hometown was not allowed to walk with his graduating class this year for speaking out against the incompetent administration

You're definitely right. People form groups based on classes, interests, etc. The problem is when students are telling others to kill themselves unironically or saying "death to all gays" or "death to all nword" or other highly inappropriate phrases to patronize others and to form groups within groups based on grades, etc.

Obviously the fact that I was being patronized on a daily basis should've sounded an alarm, but after going through it all it definitely helped me understand a lot about how people act and how environments work. Now that I'm working fulltime, I'm glad I took all the skills from being bullied and doxxed to the workplace to ensure that I'm more charismatic, friendly, etc. Not sure if being bullied was a good or bad thing, but I know I took some valuable life lessons I wouldn't have learned anywhere else.
