My statement is that being bullied in school(I believe that is what the experience is, I cannot be sure) is not a relevant experience to being a child whose labor is being exploited systematically in a society whose colonization prevents better opportunities.

It is equally important to understand when an experience is distinctly different from our own and to be willing to intake new information, including recognizing nuances that causes seemingly-similar situations to become drastically different.
