How is school culture in S.Korea?
I know it's kinda bad to base a culture on films however, there's usually some truth in a movie.

When I see things to do about Korean school life, the bullies are real awful! Even when I was in school it's easy to just tell bullies to 'shut up' but when I see movies anyone who helps you will be abused so much and teachers just turn the blind eye.

Doesn't matter what genre it's in... comedy, romantic, tragedy, action, slice of life... anything! The bullies really get away with things so I wanted to know if it's true or part true.

Also, how do you feel about the way your hours are split up and extra school?

Thanks!

Answer

Well, It is just my opinion.

I think that kinda situation usually happens among young students.
I’ve actually seen that kind of situation and really nobody helped a weak in my middle school.
But when I was in a high school if someone was oppressed unduly by bullies, the other students usually tried to help the weak one.. in a peaceful way or not. Well actually there were not many bullies though.
I can't be sure about all because the culture could be pretty different depending on what the school name is or where it is.

Also school life on Korean films seem to be kinda exaggerated :p
