Is this primarily a US phenomenon, or is this evenly distributed around the world? If so, is there something unique about the US school system that leads to this?

I grew up in Austria. One doesn‘t need knifes, guns, metal detectors and school cops to bully.

Kids are far more cruel than adults everywhere.

I also had a tough time in school, and I grew up in Europe.

It's not primarily a US phenomenon, but I believe it's easy to forget or to ignore for those who were not subjected to bullying.

It seems to me like it's just how humans work when they're not properly socialized and educated (which is expected for children of course) and nobody really polices their behavior effectively.

"According to ... International NGO Bullying Without Borders ... the country with the most cases of bullying is Mexico, with 7 out of 10 children and adolescents. In the USA, the numbers are 6 out of 10, followed by China"
