They aren't.
I've been teaching for a decade, and was a student obviously much longer before that. I experienced the same kind of bullying in middle and high school in the 90s and 2000s. I also attempted suicide. The only reason I survived is because I was privileged enough to be in a family with good access to healthcare and a good understanding of mental health issues, who got me into therapy.
My schools' administrations, both private and public schools, were just as inept and incapable of stopping the abuse.
I was lucky. Most aren't. But this is nothing new.

Do what you think you should do without relying on others to validate your decision.

Just a note of caution about Rahway, be sure to look up FEMA flood zone maps... and then probably add a couple blocks onto the map.
If I ever get the motivation to sell my house and downsize, I think about some of the condos downtown there but only if it came with an off-street parking spot that wasn't at ground level.

Exactly I've had people randomly knock on my door asking if I wanted to sell my house and it's all these investment groups that are going to rent them out. It legitimately should be illegal

I don't understand why people are so afraid of dispensaries.
Every one that I've been to up in Massachusetts has been super nice.

How exactly is your reddit curated, because the only school fight videos I've see is usually to show overreactions by cops

The renting out of single family homes in the state is the reason why people can't buy a house to begin with. My neighbor is renting out his house because he moved to Florida to retire and the cops are literally over there at least twice a month because they're pissing off the neighbors next to them

I feel bad for teachers. Teachers have to work under so much pressure for little pay. They have no power to enforce rules. School administration is inept.

mind your business, getting involved is not gonna do you any good and as long as she’s minding her business and keeping it to herself it’s whatever imo. it doesn’t really affect your family

I mean... have you talked to anyone outside of reddit? It's not just reddit. A lot of people want the kids responsible for this hazing punished. And they're not wrong. Whether what the punishment is? That's where things get a bit tricky and people disagree.
Reddit also has gen z to boomers so depending on who youre talking to, you're gonna get completely differing opinions for certain topics.

What would be an ethical investment for OP to make instead of real estate?

No biggie. There are these two guys who hang outside a c store in Leonardo who take care of business.

Mind your business. If it’s not affecting you (other than making you feel weird), what business is it of yours?
Or, be a neighbor and go talk to her.

I’m guessing it’s because she finished off a magnum of Yellowtail Chard.

Lol it’s not. You don’t know what they would charge for rent. Maybe a family that can’t put together a down payment on a home right now would rent it out.
