Chapter 815: Parent-Teacher Conference
Bullying in federal schools was an unavoidable issue. Lynch had experienced it during both middle and high school.
Because of his good looks—especially when he was younger and often mistaken for a girl—he was harassed in middle school.
Luckily, he wasn’t just a bookish pushover. After showing someone he wasn’t to be messed with using a sharpened pencil, he successfully transferred schools.
Those stories followed him to the new school, but things were relatively peaceful after that, especially in high school.
Not every kid has the guts to stab a pencil into someone’s shoulder, which is why parents play such a crucial role.
A scholarly-looking father could hardly intimidate the bullies. But a strong, imposing father? That made them think twice before causing trouble.
The Federation did have juvenile protection laws, but those didn’t exist to shield delinquents—they were meant to protect good kids’ legal rights.
Once someone became a criminal, age, gender, or beliefs no longer mattered. Federal justice was impartial.
In other words, bad kids who crossed the line would be treated like adults. Getting beaten up by angry victims’ families was not uncommon.
