It definitely is, and quickly. My year wasn’t exactly well-behaved, but as we grew up and in comparison to older and younger years, we got better. Besides, the badly-behaved students in my year generally only nasty to staff, and can be pretty friendly once you get to know them.
Meanwhile, my brother and several of his friends have effectively been bullied out of school, and the culprits let off with a detention.
My brother is a few years below me. The point I was trying to make was that behaviour has gone downhill. The badly-behaved students in my year were generally only nasty to staff, and still manageable; but just two years below and they’re the worst people you could meet, who will pick a fight with anyone and anything and won’t stop until you are out of the picture, one way or another.
Deescalate as best you can. The best course is one that never sails troubled waters.
But we all aren’t privileged enough to cruise that lazy river. Do what you can to find what peace is possible in this world. Rapids or no. We all die eventually. For some a curse, for many a blessing.
