Losing your job is certainly worse than losing your lunch money. But fearing for your life IS NOT being "picked on".
An abused person needs to feel empowered even to just report their abusers. And be certain that action will be taken once the report is made. An abused person in a relationship is lucky that they can leave. There's no way to avoid going to school, they don't let you leave.
By the same token those that aren't abused as far as fearing for their lives are concerned, if they did not learn to deal with stresses constructively when in less important situations like at school are more likely to "go off the deep end" when faced with greater stresses in later life.
