Were kids always this mean?

When I was in school the kids were ridiculously mean to each other. I think it is beyond "kids just being kids", I really just think maybe a 25% of the kids were just soulless psychopaths. They just did not care about how other kids felt. For example they would point out some physical flaw that another kid had, make fun of them for it, laugh at them. And when they made the victim kid cry, this would make the bully kid laugh harder. They would have a great old time psychologically traumatizing other kids.

I wonder if kids were always like this. Is this kind of bullying just a natural part of growing up? Or are a certain percentage of kids really just demonic scum who would be better off dead?
