The most-bullied kid I ever witnessed in my life was also the most annoying, he would act out and make annoying noises and say the dumbest, most irritating "jokes". I've never seen a kid get bullied so bad, people stole his backpack and peed in it, hung him on the gym changeroom clothing rack by his underwear (wedgie-style), all kinds of stuff. The kid's obnoxious nature was totally used as an excuse for the bullying he was subjected to, because basically "everyone" was annoyed by him and thus felt little sympathy for the persistent bullying he experienced.
In adult years I came across him on Facebook and he was wearing biker gang clothing/insignia. Of course the persistently exiled/bullied kid turns to organized crime later in life - the perfect system to exploit his endlessly-neglected need for inclusion and protection.
Here in New Zealand there used to be state care for various children. They ended up in ‘care’ for various reasons. However, for way too many it was basically just state sanctioned sadistic torture. Every sort of abuse you can name.
The number of survivors that ended up in gangs is significant. It’s an utterly shameful part of New Zealand history.
