I think that the modern world has advanced a bit since older times. Kids are more acceptable of the things that their peers say and do. Yes kids can be mean, they can be bullies, but they usually aren't as bad as they are portrayed as in the movies. I know that when I was younger I was bullied a few times, but it was usually just one person, not a group of them. I know that if someone that age was to sing a song on stage, people wouldn't laugh at them or boo them openly. They would be entertained by it, and if they didn't like it they would just talk in hushed tones. I'm not exactly sure what was said behind my back, but it is better there than heard by me. And I think the same goes for all of us.
Kids see through adults' games and BS.
I grew up around my step father, who liked to play a lot of mind games with us. I remember realizing that he must have thought we were idiots. I saw through his lies and his tricks. Even the simple cliche tricks like telling us one thing in hopes of doing the opposite. Reverse psychology. We are conditioned to do what they say, but after many of the same actions we learn secrets hidden behind those actions.
