>Someone with different standing on the social structure would rank these values in different order, even if observing the exact same set of interactions.
This is an extremely good point that I've thought of but it left my mind soon after. I bet from the perspective of some of the rich kids or funny kids, they have their own insecurities and maybe even rank the groups in a completely different way

For instance the class clowns. They are often very well liked, but from what I've read some of them feel like clowns where if they are ever serious about anything people abandon them because their friends just use them for their comedy. The same could maybe be said of rich people

>The most intriguing thing about all this for me is the backlash kids exhibit when adults are trying to mess with their social structures to counter bullying etc. It's almost like children have an innate feeling of "how it should be" independed of if the reigning system works out for them or not.
Fascinating yes. I also observed this in myself actually. Sometimes teachers would step in and try to stop other kids from bullying me, but I sort of shrugged the teachers off and said "what, they aren't bullying me lol" then had a laugh with the bullies.

Sometimes I wondered if the bullies actually weren't just malicious bullies but they legitimately wanted to be my friends and didn't know how to interact socially except through degradation to artificially keep themselves above me, maybe from extremely low self esteem. I was pretty good friends with some of these people but they still bullied me in a way that I kind of didn't mind.

I don't really know how to explain it, maybe it's just my "bullying Stockholm Syndrome".
