Were they british? No? Oh then it doesn’t count.
Also by the way you say children but like there was a 19 year old in that one.
Comment on Anon discovers books

Anon is correct. In the only documented case of children actually becoming castaways, they proved the premise of Lord of the Flies false. They all survived for a year, treated wounds, planted a food garden and even kept a fire alight. Read more about it in Human Kind by Rutger Bregman.

And got arrested immediately after being rescued for “stealing” the boat. They were released after it was cleared up, but so for coming back to “blessed law and order” and glorious civilization. Ironic, how the thing Locke said we’d all instantaneously combust without, imposed violence immediately upon return.
Oh and one of the boys was a different ethnicity, and was actually the one who broke his leg, and even then, there was no bigotry or resentment between them. They took care of him for weeks, and didn’t leave him to die.

Phew! Thank god people being bad to each other is just fiction. I was so afraid they could actually be like that, now I feel much better knowing it doesn’t happen and I can trust people with my well-being.

That book wasn’t about regular kids. It was written by a man who taught rich, spoiled British children.
