There's a smidge of truth in this for better or worse. Kids learned to fit in and not stand out unless they really had the confidence to pull it off. Misfits found groups to fit in by necessity for protection. Sure we repressed lots of stuff, but we learned to cope in a fucked up world better than kids these days seem to.

Disagree, social or physical bullying is about the same effect, except the risk of physically hurting someone is exchanged with the social risk of pushing people towards depression, self-harm, and suicide.
