Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It definitely is, and quickly. My year wasn't exactly well-behaved, but as we grew up and in comparison to older and younger years, we got better. Besides, the badly-behaved students in my year generally only nasty to staff, and can be pretty friendly once you get to know them.
Meanwhile, my brother and several of his friends have effectively been bullied out of school, and the culprits let off with a detention.

That's not at all what I said.
Yes it fucking was.
My brother is a few years below me. The point I was trying to make was that behaviour has gone downhill. The badly-behaved students in my year were generally only nasty to staff, and still manageable; but just two years below and they're the worst people you could meet, who will pick a fight with anyone and anything and won't stop until you are out of the picture, one way or another.
Deescalate as best you can. The best course is one that never sails troubled waters.
But we all aren't privileged enough to cruise that lazy river. Do what you can to find what peace is possible in this world. Rapids or no. We all die eventually. For some a curse, for many a blessing.
