> Fast-forward a year later and one kid absolutely humiliates the other by posting the private chats in a group setting. How the hell could that have ever happened in the past?

Simple; the one kid tells everyone what the other kid said.

Human memory isn't photographic.

Memories are biased such that we mostly don't remember the bad things our friends have said, we mainly remember the good. And the inverse for our enemies.

When you change from one to the other, what didn't pass into long term memory can't just come back.

Not the same at all. Yes, that is a form of bullying, but it’s not nearly the same as having their own words, shared in confidence, blasted out to their peer group.

But honestly, I can see you are fully committed to the premise that “things are exactly the same now as before” and so this discussion is pointless.
