Oh yeah, like I said, I understand that if you feel like YOU ARE IN DANGER you should never be there. Even in the real world, you shouldn't have to deal with fear, that's what HR departments are for.
That, I think, is the real problem, yanno? When is ready to deal with the jerks? I spent a long time being really mistrustful and it took me a long time to realize that a LOT of the problems I had in HS were self inflicted, I wasn't the easiest kid to get along with so other people weren't receptive.
People, like you said above, mature differently, so what's good for the gander isn't good for the goose and everyone has different triggers. There's sadly no test, and it's really up to the parent to do what's best for the child. Sounds like in both of our cases, thankfully that was true.
