Well, of course I didn't like them. They were mean little snots.

But that wasn't addressed.
OMG. This one always kills me. Like, no. Tell them to stop being a jack ***, regardless of extrovert or introvert of course. Adult life does not work that way, and nor should childhood, since it's a prep course. If a co-worker is a snot to you, you either tell them so and hope their attitude clears or tell them to leave you be, or tell a manager. Telling a manager is usually policy, and altercations between coworkers frowned upon. Snotty workers get canned! At least in at-will states, haha. That stuff isn't acceptable in "real" life.

It IS sadly true, at least in my observations and experience. If an extrovert was picking on an introvert, they were told to stop, but not punished. The introvert is told to come out their shell.

That's a weird stereotype too. I don't have a shell. This is me. I'm not some weird creature with an exoskeleton, I'm just not as expressive as some.
