From secondary school, we are imbibed with a "that's what I suffered when I was at that stage, so suffer it too" mentality
Seniors will flog & maltreat you for no other reason than the fact that they were flogged & maltreated too, you become a senior & continue the stupid cycle.

It's witchery if you ask me.

And like I said, annoyingly it's almost everywhere & in every space; students, doctors, lawyers, civil servants, business men, entertainment, Army, Police, every damn sphere.
