Bullying in the Sims 4.
I think there should be bullying in the Sims 4. It is a real life thing, and would really fit. The Bullier As the Bullier, you get to bully people. Steal their lunch money, pick on, yada yad...

No thank you. Thankfully in growing up I was usually in that "middle group" of kids that neither were the popular kids (which sadly oftentimes can include the bullies) nor the bullied group, but I saw enough of it to make me sick to my stomach. Every time I read or hear about some kid being beaten or worse in the news it makes me question where our kids are going these days (I know not all kids, in fact a very low percentage, are bullies, but I do question it anyways).
I'm all for finding ways to decrease bullying in real life, and I fear that putting it in Sims would actually be detrimental to that end.
I was in the middle crowd too, but I liked the bullied more than the bullies and stood up for people a lot.
What I think is worst is the 'yeah! 'yeah!' snivelling grovelers who goad the bullies. The bullies tend to be insecure and I look down on them (exploit their weakness... it's fun!) but if it wasn't for the crowd of 'watchers' then the bullies wouldn't have an audience to play-up to. It's the people who stand around and do nothing that makes me sick. :?
This is so true. And most or some of people who stand around and just watch are too afraid to stick up for the person who is being bullying for fear that the bullies will start to bully them.
I really hate the 2 faced people who would sit there and be the bully when their friends are around but when it is just you and the person who is the bully, they are all nice to your face. I once had a girl that I knew from elementary school through high school and she was like that. She would pick on me when her friends was around so she could look cool and fit in with their crowd but when her and I would meet up in an empty hallway or in a public place outside of school and away from her friends, she would be nice to me and ask me how I am doing or offer me candy. I even had people who would pick on me and then when they get the chance would go and tell my best friend on how pretty my eyes are or that they really like me for me and not my looks but they would never come and tell me this themselves.
