Haven't seen this yet. I was a student, but I never got abused there. However... I was beaten by other kids, and bullied by a teacher before I was 12 or so... I've also bullied and beaten other kids, a long long time ago.

Today with what I experienced, I believe that we're still some kind of animal, and the predator in us reacts to weakness. Situations usually start small, the perpetrator tests the territory, and the victim usually doesn't say anything or is too surprised to set a boundary. At one point it will go to the next step and further escalation goes from there.
