How will socialism/communism deal with school bullying? (lemmygrad.ml)

We've already talked about school and how we can change it in the past. But today I want to discuss a specific topic related to school: bullying.

As a neurodivergent person, I've had my own share of bullies pick on me in the past, two of which I was lucky not to get into physical fights with. There are so, so many people who have had even worse experiences with bullying.

In school, children/adolescents pretty much have to be around each other, making it more difficult to deal with bullying.

How can socialism deal with this issue?

I don’t see this as a question about socialism so much, and if it were then I’d say it lacks specificity. It’s a question about a hypothetical socialism in an unspecified society with unspecified history & material conditions. You could look into how existing AES’s deal with it, but again I don’t see this as a socialism-specific thing, and what past & present AESes did won’t necessarily translate directly. It might be up to the concrete—not abstract—proletariat, through democratic centralism, to decide how to deal with it, hopefully with input from specialists in child education and child psychology.
