GK Barry: Kids were vile at school. Now they slide into my DMs to say well done

Bias read (Center): The article focuses on cultural commentary and personal development rather than political issues. While there are mentions of public reactions and online discourse, these are discussed in a non-partisan manner. The framing does not favor any specific ideological stance, maintaining a balanced tone.
