There was a boy in my school who had a monobrow that everyone would laugh at. I remember one day I walked past a ruckus in a classroom with a group of kids all piling on each-other in a corner, it turned out they had held him down whilst a popular girl had plucked his monobrow off, it was the most bizarre form of bullying I’ve ever witnessed.
Anyway no punishments were issued and he had one eyebrow again in a week.
I think my school did have an unusually high concentration of disturbed adolescents, but Australia does strike me as a more relaxed country (even though I’m sadly yet to go there).
To confirm she only removed the hairs between his eyes, but it was still a messed up thing to do.
Oh boy there was a LOT of assault in that school, as in multiple incidents a day at its peak. The teachers really didn’t give a shit, they just turned a blind eye or victim blamed. It was customary to sit on an exercise book in the science lab as the seats had holes in the middle and certain students would creep up behind you and jab scissors up the hole. They would poke holes in rulers and stick pins through them to make a sort of spiked club then sneak around the class attempting to stab people with it. Compasses made good weapons too. And the teachers, of course, did nothing. Out of the classroom it was more brawl style fighting and unarmed assaults.
Only recently at 24 I was talking to a friend about how I would be attacked and assaulted at school expecting her to relate and she was confused and a bit horrified, I had always assumed it was normal until then. I wasn’t even a “bullied kid” I would just happen to be in their line of sight or path of destruction sometimes.
As I said though that school did have an unusually high number of problem children and isn’t representative of UK schools as a whole.
IIN I'm a woman and don't do anything to my eyebrows?

Even if you had a monobrow, it's your face and you should do whatever feels best for you.
Plus, eyebrow tidying hurts like a motherfucker.
