> As long as you didn’t break anything or end up in the hospital it just was let be.

You mean, as long as parents/adults/teachers don't notice it ?

Breaking a tooth doesn't land you in the hospital, a pellet gun shot 5mm under the eye doesn't land you in the hospital, etc.

(yeah, these are specific examples)

Yeah, no, seems like it teaches that anything goes as long as you don't get caught.

I'm not sure about that, I remember, as a kid, being in a lot of altercations and I am pretty sure it hasn't affected me negatively.

I'm not sure I agree with the new prerogative where anything physical = bad, so people turn to other mechanisms to cope with their emotions which may be worse long-term (e.g. bullying, mental abuse/insults, passive aggressiveness, etc.).
