This is something which has been ongoing for a long time during the first 5 Seasons of the show, and is something which I cannot seem to wrap my head around. In the early episodes of MLP FiM Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were being bullied by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon for not having cutie marks. During that time it was rather strange and odd that they let the ridicule persist without telling their school teacher Cheerilee of the behaviour of two of her students, and got her to put an end to it. School isn’t just a place where students go to learn, it’s a place which ensures the safety of its students too. When a student is being bullied in school usually the first thing you should do is tell the teachers and they will end it by putting the bully in detention and being sure that they will act nice. But not one time throughout the show’s first half of its runtime did the CMC tell Cheerilee they were being bullied.
I also find it odd that in the episode One Bad Apple when Babs Seed was a bully, Sweetie Belle kept insisting for Apple Bloom and Scootaloo to tell a trusted adult pony about Babs’s behaviour. They rejected Sweetie Belle’s advice of course, but at the end of the episode they learned their lesson to tell a trusted adult. And if Sweetie Belle knew throughout that episode to tell an adult pony that they were being bullied by Babs, why didn’t she do the same thing with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Did she forget to do that even when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were bullying her with Babs?
It’s rather strange that the CMCs tried to put up with the ridicule and didn’t tell Cheerilee about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, when she could have resolved the conflict easily. Does anyone else think this as well, or is it just me?
